Four seasons at the lake
Winter, December to February by the guide's rule, starts with the parking question. South Beach Casino & Resort publishes no covered parking, so the guide lists none. Then comes the ride home after a late table. The guide found no public transit service to South Beach, and the casino publishes no shuttle. Day tours and overnight bus packages run through private operators, and a room in the 93-room hotel spares the drive back.
Summer, June to August, turns the questions toward the lake. The casino lists Grand Beach Provincial Park, Patricia Beach Provincial Park and Victoria Beach nearby, all a drive away. At the hotel, the tropical pool opens 7:00am to 10:00pm, with 10 to 11pm reserved for adults.
Spring and fall raise the same question as any season: when does the floor open? South Beach Casino & Resort keeps its floor hours, 10:00 am to 3:00 am every day, in every season. It posts its holiday hours on its own home page.

The week that holds
Monday to Sunday, the casino floor at South Beach Casino & Resort is open 10:00 am to 3:00 am, Central Time. Hours past midnight belong to the day they started, so Saturday's hours end at 3:00 am on Sunday morning. Holiday hours are posted on the casino's own home page.
Inside, the floor covers more than 40,000 square feet and is entirely smoke-free. It has more than 500 slot machines, from 1 cent to $5. Live tables run Thursday and Friday 5:00 pm to 2:00 am, Saturday 4:00 pm to 2:00 am and Sunday 3:00 pm to 1:00 am, and close Monday to Wednesday. The games are Double Deck, Black Jack, Single-Zero Roulette, Texas Shootout and High Card Flush.
At mealtimes, Mango's Restaurant serves Monday to Saturday 8:00 am to 9:00 pm and Sunday 11:30 am to 9:00 pm. The Blue Dolphin Bar keeps 11:00 am to 2:00 am daily.
Food, a room and the rest
Food outlasts the floor at one counter: the South Beach Café in the hotel lobby is open 24/7. The other kitchens are Mango's Restaurant, the Blue Dolphin Bar and The Palms Buffet. The guide gives no buffet days, because the casino's own pages differ on them. The Blue Dolphin has free live music by local musicians, with the line-up posted on the casino's entertainment page.
For a night's stay, the hotel has 93 rooms: 10 Grand Suites, 5 Junior Suites, 8 Luxury Guest Rooms and 70 Deluxe Guest Rooms. Check-in is after 4 pm and check-out at 12 noon. Pets are not allowed. The arcade runs 11 AM to 12 AM, the fitness centre 24/7, and the Mother Earth Ballroom holds up to 300 attendees in 5,000 sq ft.
On parking, the guide lists nothing beyond the fact that South Beach publishes no covered parking.
At the door and on the map
The resort stands at 1 Ocean Dr., Scanterbury, on Highway 59 near Lake Winnipeg, on the lake's eastern side. The phone is 204.766.2100. In a straight line, it is 63.2 km from Winnipeg City Hall; that is not a driving distance, and the guide gives no travel times.
At the door, Manitoba's rule applies: the legal age for gambling is 18.
South Beach is on the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation Reserve and began operations on May 28, 2005. In its own words, it is owned by seven First Nations. Bus day tours and overnight packages reach it from Winnipeg, rural Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Kenora.
