ACE Casino Airport Canada - Gaming and Dining

What ACE Casino Airport Actually Offers

ACE Casino Airport sits at 40 Aero Crescent NE in Calgary, just off Deerfoot Trail and Airport Trail, right beside the Clique Hotel. The doors opened on November 25, 2022, so it is still one of the newer casinos on the Alberta scene. Being about a minute from YYC Calgary International Airport makes it very handy - depending on your flight time, that can be either a perk or a temptation.

The gaming floor covers the usual casino staples and a bit more. There are slots, VLTs, table games, plus a poker room that runs non-stop. Table games are available every day from noon until 3:00 AM. If you show up before 12:00 PM, you are limited to slots and VLTs only, so it is worth checking your timing before heading over.

ACE Casino Airport is part of the ACE Casinos group. The same brand operates ACE Casino Blackfoot at 1010 42 Ave SE in Calgary and another ACE property in Red Deer at 6350 67 St. Each runs its own schedule and operation, but they sit under the same overall banner.

Getting There and Planning Your Visit

The full address is 40 Aero Crescent NE, Calgary, AB T2E 6W5. From Deerfoot Trail, you exit onto Airport Trail and follow it toward Aero Crescent. The Clique Hotel is next door and works as an easy visual marker if you are driving in or being dropped off. Parking is available on site, and typically there is no hassle with finding a spot.

For anyone moving through YYC, the short distance is a real convenience. It can be a quick stop before a late departure or a place to unwind if you have just landed. The Clique Hotel itself lists ACE Airport Casino as a nearby attraction, which gives you a sense of how close they are. If you are staying at that hotel, you are basically within walking distance.

From Sunday through Thursday, the casino floor opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 5:00 AM the next morning. On Friday and Saturday, the venue stays open around the clock. These hours apply to the gaming floor. Dining areas follow their own schedule, which is separate and worth checking if food is part of your plan.

One practical note we always keep in mind ourselves: if you are mixing a casino visit with a flight, give yourself more buffer time than feels necessary. It is not hard to lose track when you are into a game or a meal.

Dining - Three Concepts, One Roof

Food at ACE Casino Airport is put together more carefully than people usually expect from a casino so close to an airport. Under the same roof, you will find three different setups: The Kitchen, The Buffet, and the ACE Sports Bar. Each one fits a different type of visit and timing.

The ACE Grill and Lounge opens daily at 9:30 AM and runs until 8:30 PM. The Center Bar pours from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM every day. If you want to secure a table, reservations can be made by calling 403-287-1183 or booking through OpenTable, where the venue appears as Ace Casino Airport, Calgary, AB.

The Buffet runs nightly themes across the week, which gives you a reason to aim for a specific day:

1. Monday - Passage to India
2. Tuesday - Chicken Dinner
3. Wednesday - Prime Rib
4. Thursday - Asian Night
5. Friday - BBQ
6. Saturday - Italian Night
7. Sunday - Carvery Night

Lunch shifts by day as well. From Monday to Friday, there is an Asian lunch menu. Saturday switches to brunch, while Sunday is set for dim sum. Happy Hour runs daily from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the ACE Sports Bar, with 25% off appetizers and drink specials during that window.

The sports bar is built for watching games properly. Screens are positioned with viewing in mind instead of being an afterthought in a corner. On big game nights it often works as its own destination, even for guests who are not spending much time on the main gaming floor.

ACE Casinos Group and the Alberta Context

ACE Casinos operates as a regional Alberta brand. In older corporate documents, you might see links to the Cash Casino name, but in actual day-to-day use, everything is now presented under the ACE Casinos identity. The decision to add a property next to YYC was a choice, not an accident - a Newswire press release at the time called it a strategic expansion serving both Calgary locals and airport traffic. The first planned address was 36 Aero Crescent NE, and the final operating site ended up at 40 Aero Crescent NE, which is why older listings sometimes still show the earlier number.

Alberta gaming runs under the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis framework, usually shortened to AGLC. Every licensed casino in the province, including ACE Casino Airport, follows those rules. The minimum age to enter and play is 18.

The ACE Casino Airport Facebook page is where updates on promotions, buffet themes, and any schedule tweaks are posted most frequently. If you are lining up your visit with a particular night, buffet theme, or offer, checking that page first is a simple way to make sure the details have not shifted.

What to Know Before Your First Visit

You do not need to book ahead to get onto the gaming floor. Just come by and sign in as required. Table games start up at 12:00 PM each day, so arrivals in the morning will only find slots and VLTs running. For some people that is fine, but it is something to factor in if table games are the main draw for you.

ACE Casino Airport appears across review and map platforms such as TripAdvisor, Yelp, and MapQuest under categories like Fun and Games or Casinos and Gambling. Feedback there usually talks about three things: the gaming floor, the food, and service. Operational comments are in line with what you would expect for a casino of this size and location.

ACE Casino Airport is a land-based casino only. There is no online gambling, no remote play component, no mobile casino tied to this property. Everything takes place on the physical gaming floor in Calgary. For late-night gaming in north Calgary, with food, a sports bar and airport-level access, the mix of hours and location make it one of the more practical choices in the city, especially if you are already near the terminal or staying in that part of town.
