“We are very excited to officially launch the new Starlight Casino Edmonton,” said Tony Santo, Gateway CEO. “It represents Gateway’s largest redevelopment investment in Western Canada with a $57 million capital investment and over 300 new jobs. I know that Starlight, along with our Grand Villa location at ICE District, will be a significant addition to the entertainment landscape in Edmonton.”
The Starlight Casino brand will provide guests with the glitz, glamour and vintage feel of retro Vegas in a high energy atmosphere, centered around dining, gaming and entertainment experiences. Starlight Casino will feature many of Gateway’s most successful signature restaurant brands like MATCH Eatery & Public House, ATLAS Steak + Fish, The Buffet, CHOW Lucky Noodle Bar and the debut of Gateway’s latest brand creation, Halley’s Club – a dining and entertainment club that will reinvent the classics.
Starlight Casino and AGLC will also debut the first ever REPLAY arena.
