I’m heading to whistler a few times in the next couple months or so and would love to sneak away and play some poker in the city or surrounding area a few times if possible. I have zero clue about the state of games or rooms in the casinos up there.

Anybody have a recommendation for a casino or poker room?

I would recommend Parq Casino in downtown Vancouver. Runs 24hrs and has good action in the 1-3 Texas Holdem games. If you have the Poker Atlas App it helps to use it or call to sign up for a seat 90min ahead of time. Good luck!
 
Haven't played at any of these, but:
  • Parq (downtown Vancouver, near BC Place Stadium)
  • River Rock (Richmond, about 10-15 min south of Downtown Vancouver in non-rush hour traffic, closest casino to Airport)
  • Grand Villa (Burnaby, about 15-20 minutes east of Downtown Vancouver in non-rush hour traffic
  • Hard Rock (Coquitlam, about 25-30 minutes east of Downtown Vancouver in non-rush hour traffic
  • Cascades (Langley, about 40 minutes east of Downtown Vancouver in non-rush hour traffic
If you are driving up from Seattle, take Peace Arch Crossing and use Hwy 99 for the first 2 on the list, take Pacific Crossing (176 Street truck crossing) and then straight up 176 St to Hwy 1 for the latter three on the list (go east to 200 for Cascades, go west to United Blvd for Hard Rock or Willingdon for Villa.
 
A little late to the party here, but FWIW Parq has the lowest rake of the main casinos mentioned above (and proximity to tourist areas brings softer games).
