There is a total of 24 Alberta casinos across its state spread over 11 cities. Besides a casino visit then Alberta has quite a few interesting things to do and is well worth a visit.
If you decide to take the family to Alberta and they don’t all want to go play on the pokies, you can send them on a hike. Have you heard of the Trans Canada Trail? Alberta boasts of the longest trail walk in the world at a mammoth 24,000 kilometres!
If you book into a hotel with the idea of playing in an Alberta Casino and the family want something different, you can suggest that they go visit Rocky Mountain House, a National Historic Centre and stay in a tipi! No room service but building a bonfire will surely keep them occupied.
Perhaps the family enjoy festivals? You could time your trip to coincide with Sustainaval, a carnival virtually powered on vegetable oil, solar and wind energy. This carnival bassed in Edmonton has four major rides all power driven on vegetable oil! The food trucks to ferris wheels are all energised with sustainable fuels. It has become a very popular event and creating real momentum and interest from thousands of miles around.
But getting back to our true interest, Alberta has two dozen casinos waiting for you and you just have to decide which city you want to visit in this state. Edmonton which is the capital of Alberta boasts 6 casinos. The next largest group of collection of casinos in Alberta will be in Calgary followed by Red Deer.
