Itinerary for your summer escape to Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy 

If you’re in need of a summer escape, explore the hotel and casino’s sprawling grounds, restaurants, bars and live performances.  

Start your evening at Arôme, where refined cuisine is paired with beautiful views of Lac de la Carrière and the Hilton Lac-Leamy pool below. Open daily through October 4, the terrace is one of the region's most scenic spots for summer dining. Savour expertly prepared steaks, fresh seafood and seasonal specialties, or visit on Fridays and Saturdays to enjoy the BBQ menu, offered from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. from June 19 to September 5. After dinner, gather your friends and head to Bar 7, where cocktails, dancing and themed summer nights create an energetic atmosphere. Country Wednesdays, Latin Thursdays and Rythmik weekends keep the party going all season long. 

Looking for something a little quieter? Settle into the sophisticated surroundings of Bacchus bar, where plush leather seating and an extensive beverage selection invite you to slow down and relax. The lounge also features an adjoining cigar room, offering a refined setting to enjoy a cigar purchased on-site. 

Before the night ends, try your luck in the casino. Explore table games, slot machines, electronic gaming, the poker room and tournament action. 

Cap off the evening with a live performance at Théâtre du Casino. This summer's lineup features tributes to ABBA, Bon Jovi, The Tragically Hip, Barbra Streisand and more.
