With opening day appearing on the horizon, the 675,000 sq. ft. $600M parq Vancouver is hiring. Numbers are in the 1000+ range. Dates & location are on the PDF (above).

The building’s branding is fun, reflecting the all-industry trend to ever-more convoluted placement in the product firmament. Personally, I’m baffled, while bemused, at just who will be taking note that the restaurant is a Blau Associates establishment. Maybe I just don’t spend enough time at the requisite heights of wealth and consumption. Presumably YVR is busily gearing up for the arrival of swarms of gold-plated Gulfstream G650’s.
Meanwhile, the Globe and Mail dutifully offers this information: “the JW Marriott parq Vancouver features a spa and fitness centre, while the DOUGLAS offers fire pits and handcrafted cocktails in the park.” The park, it seems, is on the sixth floor, fire pits and all.
There will be five Blau restaurants in parq Vancouver. The head Chef is Elizabeth Blau’s partner. He grew up in Montreal.
Actually, eight restaurants. 600 slots.
More likely 787s from PVG and HKG than G6s from Vegas.
Indeed, it is no coincidence that the city which once rightly banned casino expansion succumbed as demographics changed. Interesting in light of the massive money laundering ring that used casinos exposed just a few days ago:

Are you suggesting that the casino expansion was approved? In April 2011, Vancouver city council agreed to relocation without expansion of the existing Paragon-owned Edgewater Casino licence. The building is obviously bigger because it has two hotels and all those restaurants – but the casino has no more slots or tables than the Edgewater today.
Probably no different than the hype around Daniel Boulud’s restaurant (which eventually closed) or Jean Georges’s Market @ Shangri-La.
Vancouver seems to have an excessive number of foodies.
