Transportation:
You are flying into Vancouver (YVR)
There will be no shuttle service. When you arrive you are to follow the Canada Line SkyTrain sign as seen below.
For the fee of $7.50 (1 zone ticket) you have the convenience of not having to arrange a shuttle or wait for it. Just hop onto the skytrain after purchasing a ticket & it's only a 5 minute ride to the hotel. The skytrain leaves the airport between the hours of 5:08am - 12:57am Every 6 - 20 minutes depending on the time of day. After the 5 minute ride you will be getting off at your stop *BRIDGEPORT* which is at the River Rock Casino Resort. Please pay attention and listen because if you don't get off at the right stop it will continue and take you further into Vancouver.
Returning to the airport is also simple, no arranging shuttles. Just walk out the front doors of the hotel to the skytrain & pay $2.50 or $1.75 (depending on age) for a 1 zone ticket. Make sure you are taking the train that is heading TOWARDS the airport (YVR) for the 5 minute ride.
The skytrain also takes you right into downtown Vancouver so there is no need to rent a car or take a taxi.
