Ottawa, Den of Vice

If gambling is more your style, cross one of our inter-provincial bridges to get to Casino Du lac-leamy (1 Boul. du Casino, 819-772-2100) in Gatineau, whether for the casino itself, which includes 64 gambling tables and 1,8 0 slot machines, or for one of their many shows in le Theatre du Casino (recent performances include Cathy Gauthier, the Led Zeppelin Experience, Marie-Chantal Toupin, and André-Philippe Gagnon). How often do you get to spend an evening drinking in a lounge that has its own heliport? They even have docking facilities for 20 boats and complete banking services, including a foreign exchange office. Come for the sound and light shows, stay for the gambling, but leave all your bankcards at home (to avoid temptation). Dress code in effect. Shuttle buses are available from downtown hotels.
