ACE Airport and Century Downs nearby
Checked October 8, 2026By the Map Room
ACE Casino Airport sits off Deerfoot Trail and Airport Trail and forms the north pair with Century Downs, 7.8 km away in a straight line. Its poker room is open 24/7, so one corner of this map never switches off.
Who stands nearby
In a straight line, Century Downs is 7.8 km from ACE Casino Airport. PURE Casino Calgary comes next at 8.5 km, also in a straight line. Neither figure says anything about the roads between them, which keep their own counsel.
At a radius of 8 km, ACE Casino Airport and Century Downs form a group of two: the north pair. Cowboys, Elbow River, ACE Blackfoot, PURE Calgary and Grey Eagle make up a larger group. Deerfoot Inn & Casino and Stoney Nakoda each stand alone at that radius.
Move the slider to 8.5 km and the north pair joins the central group, through the 8.5 km line to PURE Calgary. From 9.0 km Deerfoot Inn & Casino joins too, so eight casinos form one group. Stoney Nakoda holds out until 61.6 km.

What the building holds
ACE Casino Airport has 670 slot machines. Its poker room runs 12 tables for No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha and live tournaments, with its own entrance at the north-west end of the building. The Pulse Arena is a private electronic table lounge. Table games share the floor as well.
Food comes from three places. The Kitchen serves a nightly buffet, the ACE Sports Bar has a 40-foot TV wall, and there is a Center Bar.
There is no hotel on site. The casino points guests to Hotel Clique Calgary Airport and Applause Hotel by Clique, both steps away. Its grand opening weekend began on November 25, 2022. ACE Casinos runs it, the same operator behind ACE Casino Blackfoot, and both use Winner's Edge.
Hours on the clock
Monday to Thursday, ACE Casino Airport opens at 9 AM and closes at 5 AM. Friday and Saturday it is open 24 hours. Sunday is the awkward day: the casino's own pages give its hours in two different ways, so this guide leaves both out.
Table games run daily from 12 PM to 3 AM. The poker room is open 24/7, which places it outside the weekly schedule entirely. Holiday hours are not covered here and should be checked on the venue's own site.

Finding it
ACE Casino Airport is at 40 Aero Crescent NE, Calgary, AB T2E 6W5. The phone number is (403) 287-1183. It sits off Deerfoot Trail and Airport Trail, next to the Clique Hotel, which makes a handy landmark. Parking runs to more than 800 stalls.
This guide knows nothing about traffic on either trail, and the map does not pretend otherwise.
Questions
What are the Sunday hours at ACE Casino Airport?
The casino's own pages give Sunday hours in two different ways, so this guide prints neither. Check the venue's own site before a Sunday visit, and do the same for holiday hours. The poker room is open 24/7.
Does ACE Casino Airport have a hotel?
It has no hotel of its own. Hotel Clique Calgary Airport and Applause Hotel by Clique are steps away, and the casino points guests to both.
How far is Century Downs from ACE Casino Airport?
Century Downs is 7.8 km away in a straight line. That is a distance between two map points, not a road distance, and it says nothing about driving time. At a radius of 8 km the two form the north pair.
