Talking about J.W. Marriott, also Edmonton (imagine that!) is getting one as part of their stadion complex Ours will be much nicer, though and still the westernmost.
And am I'm right that this is the move-out year of Edgewater Casino?
What happened to this proposal?
That ones been dormant since it was submitted a few years ago - probably waiting for Edgewater to move out (which could be delayed depending on actual casino construction timelines).

Oh, so is the current Edgewater Casino moving into Parq Vancouver?
IIRC when the expansion plan was squashed, the casino did not adjust the actual floor space devoted to gaming. So while the number of machines and tables will remain the same, there will still be room to expand easily.
That said, Edgewater has a ton of slot machines that I've never seen close to full. Tables are busy on a Fri/Sat night though.
I realized, driving by, that One Pacific won't block the façade of the casino very much at all (entrance should be visible I think), and it will be quite prominent from the Smithe St. off ramp.

It would have been much cooler to have a bar on the hotel rooftop instead of a spa.
You must have missed this:

That's a different rooftop. That's the rooftop on the podium between the two towers, not the hotel rooftop which is much higher and will probably have great views of False Creek.

The PDF is barely readable, but the development permit seems to have a bar next to the pool.

If the taller tower is taken away and stacked on top the middle tower, this development would've been even more spectacular. Damn viewcones! The current design has the taller tower way too close to stadium.
