The resort
Grey Eagle is owned and operated by the Tsuut'ina Nation. The casino opened in 2007 on the former Harvey Barracks site, just outside Calgary's southwest city limits. A 2014 expansion added the hotel, conference facilities and the Event Centre. Renovations are under way, so some facilities are temporarily closed.
Rooms and stay
The hotel has about 178 rooms, from standard kings and two-queen rooms to king suites and an 875 sq ft presidential suite. The pool is closed during the renovations, so hotel guests get free entry to the Killarney and Glenmore city pools. The outdoor hot tub, sauna and 24-hour fitness centre are open.
Dining
- Little Chief: the hotel restaurant, blending modern cooking with Indigenous tradition and seasonal ingredients
- The Buffet: nightly themes such as prime rib and Pan-Asian (18+)
- Stage Bar: live music, plus grab-and-go sandwiches and salads
Blaze Bar & Grill is closed for renovations, and its menu is served at the Stage Bar and the Buffet.
Shows and events
The Grey Eagle Event Centre seats about 2,500 theatre-style, or nearly 3,000 standing, and has around $2 million of built-in sound and lighting. It's non-smoking. The resort also has 12 meeting rooms, and runs Grey Eagle Cultural Tours.
Getting there
The resort is on Tsuut'ina Nation land at Calgary's southwest edge, near Mount Royal University, with access from Glenmore Trail and 37 Street SW. The Tsuut'ina Trail section of the ring road runs close by. For events, the resort suggests a taxi or ride share.
Parking: free, with overflow lots on event nights.
Accessibility
A special-assistance team is on hand at every Event Centre show, and accessible seats can be booked through the box office. The resort doesn't publish a general accessibility statement.
Age and ID
You must be 18 or older to enter the gaming areas in Alberta. Bring government photo ID.
