Niagara Fallsview Casino

Niagara Falls


Open 24/7, this mammoth building across from the Skylon is itself worth a look – an amazing complex of commerce and crapshoots, with a fantastical foaming fountain in the lobby. Corny old-timers like Rick Springfield and Kool & The Gang are regularly wheeled out to perform at the 1500-seat Avalon Theatre. A food court and parking complex make it a popular pit stop.
