text: It's not just a casino and a restaurant. The JW Marriott, with what will be the largest hotel ballroom in Vancouver, will be able to attract some of the bigger convention events coming to the City. The writer may compare this venture to something from Vegas, but I think it'll resemble the LA Live district in Los Angeles, with Staples Center sporting and concert events, convention and restaurants and bars. The JW is an anchor hotel there too. Not too different than how it's positioned in Vancouver. I'm actually very excited to see it unfold.
