Billy Barker Casino Hotel
The Billy Barker Casino Hotel is a downtown Quesnel landmark whose exterior is modelled after the Fraser River paddle wheelers of the 1860s gold rush, complete with a paddle-wheel facade and a statue of miner Billy Barker on top. Originally opened in 1961 as the Billy Barker Inn, it has grown into a full-service hotel with a casino (100 slot machines), restaurant, lounge, and showroom, making it an unusual and historically flavoured overnight stop in the Cariboo. The front desk is staffed around the clock, and the on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and supper every day.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Dakeł Keyoh (ᑕᗸᒡ ᗲᘏᑋ), Dënéndeh, and Tŝilhqot’in Nen.
