@CFinVancouver yeah casino isn't ideal, and even worse if you have a gambling problem! But I guess for non-gamblers you can at least use the restroom and usually casinos have some dining or snack shops or something available.
Yes agreed about Burnaby, it will be very interesting to see where it winds up, I'm struggling to think of a perfect spot. Metrotown parkade would be good for capacity and has plenty of dining options but it really is out of the way unless Kingsway happens to be along your route. There's South Burnaby along Marine, like maybe the mall with Save-on Foods, Starbucks, etc.? For more Northern Burnaby I guess somewhere near what used to be Brentwood mall would be good for freeway access but where exactly I'm not sure.
