Kananaskis Casino Notes Highway 40
Driving to Stoney Nakoda Resort
Checked October 12, 2026By the Highway 40 Desk
A short turn-off, just where Highway 40 carries on towards Kananaskis, brings the road to Stoney Nakoda Resort & Casino at 888 Nakoda Way, Mînî Thnî, Alberta T0L 1N0. For nearby towns, the calculator below measures the gap as the crow flies, then hands off to Google Maps for the real driving route.
Where the resort sits
The resort stands off Highway 40 towards Kananaskis, on the outskirts of Kananaskis Country in the Rocky Mountain foothills. The resort describes its casino as 45 minutes west of Calgary. That figure is the resort's own, and this guide does not estimate driving times.
Measured in a straight line, Kananaskis Village is 22.6 km from the casino and Canmore is 24.1 km. Cochrane comes next at 39.3 km in a straight line, with Banff just behind at 39.6 km. Downtown Calgary is 66.3 km in a straight line. Further out, Airdrie is 72.9 km away, Chestermere 83.4 km, Okotoks 84.2 km and High River 99.2 km, each in a straight line.
No road keeps to a straight line through the foothills. The drive is longer than any figure above and depends on the route taken. For directions, the calculator opens Google Maps with the real road.

Parking and getting around
Parking at the resort is complimentary and on site. Trucks and recreational vehicles also park at no charge. They must register at the front desk first, and can then stay up to 2 nights. For anyone arriving in a motorhome at the end of a long road, that registration is the step to remember.
The resort names no shuttle, no bus service, no valet parking and no EV charging. A driver plans around that. An electric car needs its charge sorted before the turn off Highway 40, and a group needs its own way back.
