The Casino du Lac-Leamy (formerly the Casino de Hull) is a government run casino in Gatineau, Quebec. The casino was opened in 1996, the third of a group of casinos built by the provincial government to raise funds. The Gatineau casino also serves Ottawa and eastern Ontario. Bus 21 crosses Ottawa and Gatineau and leads to the Casino du Lac-Leamy. Bus fares are free for tourists staying at participating Ottawa and Gatineau hotels. Ask hotel reception personnel. A paid shuttle is available from outside Gatineau and Ottawa. See the Casino’s web site for more details.
As the saying goes, “You can never have too much glitter!” And we can officially report that the Casino du Lac-Leamy has taken that motto to heart, with a dazzling holiday program running until January 8.
The Casino’s star attraction
The holidays are all about glitter, confetti and streamers. That’s why the Casino du Lac-Leamy has concocted the perfect mix of festive themes to maximize the WOW factor this year. They’ve combined the upbeat atmosphere and disco balls of the 70s with the class and chic of the world of James Bond to deliver a sparkling holiday experience!
But before bumping into John Travolta as Tony Manero and Agent 007 at Bar 7, make way for the real king of the party (and the forest), which returns year after year, majestic and twinkling, to the delight of all. I’m talking about the famous 31-foot Christmas tree! From its lofty height, it lights up the hall of the Casino. Impossible not to feel festive at the sight of this green giant festooned with 20,000 lights! Dazzled by all this brilliance, I conclude that the evening’s watchword is pretty straightforward: grandiose!
Casino Lac Leamy Sunday Brunch
Funk meets chic
The pomp and splendour of the ’70s are back at the Casino for the holiday season! Make way for disco and all the trimmings: sparkly dresses and elephant pants, hits by ABBA and the Bee Gees, and mirror balls. If any era was festive, surely this was it! And it transfers very well to celebrations in 2018. After busting a few moves (inspired by those of the king, not of the forest, but of Saturday night) on the dance floor, it’s time to challenge yourself with the retro quiz Let’s Get Lucky! hosted by Derek Séguin!
Back at Bar 7, the famous secret agent and his British charm come to the fore to create an elegantly chic and luxurious atmosphere. The menu also pays tribute to James Bond’s favourite cocktail with a selection of Sparkle Martinis. I order a Melontini — “shaken, not stirred,” of course! Besides its delicious melon flavour (as the name suggests), the cocktail is literally as shiny (again, as the name suggests) as my imaginary Aston Martin! It’s the perfect drink for trying out the new slot machines featuring Agent 007.
