Tom Cochrane will help the expanded Elements Casino in View Royal open its doors with a grand opening celebration on May 5.

The eight-time Juno winner and his band, Red Rider, will be the first artists to perform on the stage of the Platinum Room, a 500-seat entertainment space.

“We are thrilled and excited to welcome our guests and the community to the grand opening celebration and showcase the multi-million dollar redevelopment we have been focused on for the past twelve months,” said Chris Lynn, executive director of Vancouver Island casino operations for the Great Canadian Gaming Corp.

The rebranded 70,000 square-foot casino will feature nearly 800 slot machines, up to 25 table games, new dining options and is set to host live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights.

It’s a space Lynn believes will greatly benefit Vancouver Island.

“I am confident that with all the new offerings, Elements Casino Victoria will quickly become a major entertainment hub for the whole lower island marketplace," he said.

The new casino is said to be in the ranks of River Rock Casino Resort, Hard Rock Casino Vancouver and Elements Casino in Surrey.

For those who would like to get a sneak peek of the facility before May 5, Elements Casino Victoria will have gaming and dining amenities available by late March.

Tickets for Tom Cochrane and Red Rider go on sale March 16 at ticketmaster.com
