Century Downs and its neighbours

Century Downs is in Balzac, beside the CrossIron Mills shopping mall; Calgary International Airport is 5 km to its south. In a straight line, ACE Casino Airport lies 7.8 km away. At a radius of 8 km the two form a group of their own, which this site calls the north pair.

Toward the city, PURE Casino Calgary is 15.2 km away in a straight line. Cowboys Casino is 18.6 km away in a straight line. Deerfoot Inn & Casino sits 28.0 km away in a straight line. No two of the eight casinos east of the mountains stand farther apart.

Roads, as usual, hold their own opinions about these numbers. The figures here only measure the gap between two map points.

Century Downs has over 650 slot machines and VLTs combined and fully automated electronic roulette. Live table games are absent, and so is a poker room. In a straight line, ACE Casino Airport lies 7.8 km away. Table play there goes from 12 PM to 3 AM every day, while the poker room never closes and stays open 24/7. There is also an off-track betting lounge at Century Downs.

Live horse racing runs on over 60 days across spring, summer and fall. Food comes from The Derby Restaurant, Celly's Sports Bar and Lounge, The Oaks Lounge and The Starting Gate Food Trailer.

The track opened on April 1, 2015.

Every day, the doors at Century Downs open at 9:30 am. Closing comes at 3 am on nights from Sunday to Thursday; Friday and Saturday push it to 4 am. Those closing times fall after midnight, so a Friday session ends in the early hours of Saturday.

Holiday hours sit outside this guide; readers can verify them on the venue's own site. Calgary time is used for the open-now mark, which the reader's browser works out on its own. Race days are listed separately, in the section on what is inside.

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino is at 260 Century Downs Drive, Rocky View County, AB T4A 0V5. Its phone number is 587-349-7777. The venue stands in Balzac, beside the CrossIron Mills shopping mall, with Calgary International Airport 5 km to its south.

This guide has no parking details for it. It has one map point and nothing to report about where the car goes. The map point is taken from OpenStreetMap and linked from this page.
