Where and when
ACE Casino Airport stands at 40 Aero Crescent NE, Calgary, AB T2E 6W5. Its location is just off Deerfoot Trail and Airport Trail, beside the Clique Hotel. The venue describes itself as near YYC, the Calgary International Airport. There is no on-site hotel.
The casino's contact page publishes these hours:
| Days | Casino hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday to Thursday | 9:00 AM to 5:00 AM |
| Friday and Saturday | Open 24 hours |
| Poker room | Open 24/7 |
If a Sunday visit depends on the casino being open through the night, call 403-287-1183 before setting out to confirm the hours.
On weekdays the doors open at 9:00 AM, so a morning or lunch-hour visit fits easily. The official pages do not publish separate hours for the live table games. If you want a table at a particular hour, ask the venue first. For more on early visits, see Morning hours.
Getting in
Visitors must be at least 18 to enter a casino in Alberta. AGLC's casino rules oblige staff to see valid government-issued photo ID from every visitor who seems under 25. Bring a driver's licence, passport or government ID card, and keep it with you.
The venue does not publish a dress code.

The casino lists the following:
- Slot machines and VLTs
- Live table games and 2 VIP salons
- A 12-table poker room, open 24/7
- Arena-style electronic gaming (the specific games are not listed)
For the specific live table games on offer, ask the venue before you go.
A loyalty card is available at Guest Services.
A GameSense Info Centre is found in every Alberta casino, offering details on games, odds and house edge. You can ask there how a game works before you sit down.
Food and extras
The casino names four food and drink outlets:
- The Kitchen, a restaurant
- The Buffet, a quick-service counter with daily food specials
- ACE Sports Bar, with a 40-foot wall of televisions

Opening hours for individual outlets are best checked with the venue. Current specials are on the casino's food and drink page. If lunch is part of the plan, check there or call ahead.

Getting there

Before you go
- Check Sunday hours by phone before a Sunday visit.
- Ask about table-game hours if you plan to arrive at opening.
- Bring government-issued photo ID.
