Where the room sits on Bay Street

The room stands at 30 Bay St., Sault Ste. Marie, ON P6A 7A6, near the International Bridge into Michigan, a casino with slots and live table games. The casino first opened its doors here on May 19, 1999, and OLG Casino Sault Ste. Marie is one of its former names.

Under Ontario's model, land-based casinos are conducted and managed by OLG, with day-to-day operations contracted to private service providers. Here that provider is Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, which took over operation on May 29, 2017. In this guide, the room is one of the stars of the North constellation.
