Don't Forget about the River Rock in Richmond
byI’ve been to the River Rock only once since it’s been a casino, but several times when its tower was a clock for the Riverport Market, which was not dissimilar to the Lonsdale Quay.
It was for my birthday and we gambled, had drinks, and scarfed down mounds of prime rib at the buffet – other than that, I don’t remember much else. Now they’ve got a fancy shmancy hotel and will have a Canada Line station there as well. As I was doing a lot of periodical reading the other day, I came across an ad for the River Rock in the Georgia Straight.
Upcoming acts at their theatre include:
Even more interesting acts include:
While this post shouldn’t fall into my “cheap things to do” category, we should be reminded that there are some acts for all tastes that come to Metro Vancouver who don’t perform downtown. Also, seeing as how I rarely, if ever, blog about Richmond, I thought it would be worth noting. Seriously though we would actually consider going to see Brent Butt on January 25th or especially Lewis Black on February 29th (and March 1st).
Tickets for all shows at the River Rock are available through Ticketmaster. If we do end up going to see Mr. Black, I’ll be sure to write about our experience.

hahaha Boyz II Men still exist? my aunt once gave me one of their cds for christmas way back when.
Maybe you and I should venture out that way for a post-birthday trip for you. I’d suggest taking in the Chippendales Revue in hopes that Patrick Swayze might bounce out onto the stage and start thrusting his hips for us. Yes, I used the word “thrust” in your comments.
Or at least someone with similar hair? But I thought you might want to see the Bellydance Superstars…
You know you are on the backside of your career, when you are stuck playing in Indian casino’s.
PC = First Nations
and to take that one step further, Vikings must be referred to as 2nd nation people on the east coast
Anyways, im gonna try to get tix to lewis black, i love that guy!
Keira…I’ve never been known to be all that PC. Heck, I coulda said ‘Injuns’…but, I didn’t.
I look at it this way, for years we (white folk) took everything they had…now they are getting back at us all by taking everything we have. Good on ’em.
