Between the Lakes
The casino stands at 201-553 Vees Dr., next to the South Okanagan Events Centre. It moved here in 2017 from the Lakeside Resort, on a site leased from the City of Penticton. Measured in a straight line, the nearest shore of Okanagan Lake is 0.9 km to the north.
Skaha Lake lies 4.6 km to the south. The Okanagan River Channel, which links the two lakes, is 0.8 km to the south-west. If you spent the afternoon by the water, the evening starts close by. For the road route, the directions button opens Google Maps.
