Cascades Casino Restaurant Host jobs

At River Rock Casino Resort, one of British Columbia’s most iconic entertainment destinations, every guest interaction is an opportunity to create something memorable. Located in the heart of Richmond—just minutes from Vancouver International Airport, a short drive from downtown Vancouver, and directly connected to its own on‑site SkyTrain station (Bridgeport Station)—River Rock blends the energy of a world‑class casino with the comfort and sophistication of a full‑service waterfront resort.

Whether you’re greeting guests, managing reservations, coordinating seating, supporting service flow, or sharing recommendations about our dining, entertainment, and casino offerings, you’ll play a key role in delivering the polished, attentive, and memorable experience that defines the Chairman’s Lounge.
