About this guide

About the Calendar Keepers

The Calendar Keepers is the collective signature of All Year, its editorial desk, and not a person. It reads the year of five venues in Winnipeg and at South Beach season by season, as questions about the trip.

By the Calendar KeepersChecked in October 2026

Same hours, different trips

In every season, Club Regent Casino and McPhillips Station Casino open at 10 AM daily. Both close at 3 AM, or at 5 AM after Friday and Saturday. Shark Club Gaming Centre and Club West Gaming Lounge at Assiniboia Downs keep 10 AM to 1 AM. South Beach Casino & Resort runs 10 AM to 3 AM. None of the five published seasonal hours when the guide checked.

What the season changes is the trip: parking under cover, the ride home, the lake road, the track. Club Regent's free parkade and Cityplace Lots 1 and 4 near Shark Club put the car under cover. Lot 4 is closed on weekends except to monthly parkers and for events. Live racing at Assiniboia Downs runs only in season. Behind the answers sits a desk: no name, no portrait, no job title, no years of experience, no visits.

How facts are checked

Facts were checked in October 2026 against the venues' own pages and Cityplace. Winnipeg Transit, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, the LGCA and Travel Manitoba were checked too. Only what holds from one season to the next is listed: hours, food, parking, transit, hotels and the rules at the door. Shows, race dates and holiday hours stay on each venue's own pages.

Where a venue's pages give different figures, the figure is left out or the guide says that the pages differ. Kilometres are straight lines from each venue to Winnipeg City Hall, not driving distances. The full method sits on the page How the seasons are checked.

Who pays

All Year is a guide, not a casino: it takes no bets and holds no accounts. Only the home page carries paid links, each marked Ad and leading to one online casino partner, which can change. The site earns a commission from it. Venues, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, PlayNow and help services never pay the guide. Links to venues and help services are never paid.
