Damn, this place is so much fun.
The hotel is huge (3 towers) and beautiful. We had a room on the 38th floor which had a fantastic view of the Falls, it was pretty awesome being able to sit and watch the falls and the nighttime view with all the lights was stunning as well.
The room was huge and fancy, two separate rooms with a king sized bed and television in each, divided in the middle with a huge bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. There was even a fireplace! Beds were incredibly comfy with plenty of pillows.
The hotel is connected to the casino by a skywalk, so you can get into the casino without needing to go outside.
Casino itself is a lot of fun. Gets very packed on the weekend and it's tough getting a spot at a table. There are endless slot machines though. I wish they had a few additional bars inside the casino, it can be a bit of a trek to the bar depending on where you are.
Great place to people watch. Absolutely teeming with drunk 19-21 year olds on the weekend - you know, drunk girls walking around barefoot because their 6 inch heels are no longer comfortable, crying into their mobile phones. It's all very entertaining. -
Review from Karen W.
I've been to this casino before, but it had been at least a good 10 years since the last time I was here. The hubby and I were staying at the Four Points Sheraton which was connected to the Fallsview Casino. We quickly walked over to take in the sights and hopefully win a few extra bucks. At first we werent so lucky until I made it over to the quarter slot machines. I changed my first $20 into $148 then cashed out. I then put in another $20 and turned that into $388. Talk about luck!!
The shops at the casino were nice as well. If you wanted to find something just to buy or if you needed something, you could find it here. But a word of caution - be careful - they can be a little pricey if you dont pay attention.
Overall this was a nice casino.Listed in: '100' Yelp Reviews in 2012

Since this review is an equal three part experience, I will review each aspect individually. I don't head out to the niagara falls area often, but when I do, I try to make it a point to try new digs each time.
Fallsview is easily the nicer and more ambitious version of casino niagara. From the inside, and whileignoring the many odes to the falls it easily takes me back to a las Vegas hotel. You know, one of the better ones on the strip, but without the clubs.
Casino:
I don't enjoy gambling, but the layout and the fake frescos on the ceiling are fun to gawk at while strolling through a sea of chronic gamblers.
Grand buffet:
Dinner options are ample and the seating arrangement promises an excellent view of the falls. As far as buffets in niagara falls go, this one is not bad but it's definitely not unto the same standards as many of the niagara-on-the-lake restaurants. I'd recommend coming here for breakfast instead. At all times of the day you can find something to suit your diet; gluten free, allergies, diabetic, vegetarian, etc. Just ask one of the chefs to point you in the right direction.
Hotel:
The rooms are gorgeous and the suite view is amazing. -

Once upon a time, three American boys took a road trip to Toronto. On the way, they stopped to take in the sights of Niagra Falls and stopped to gourge their souls away on the buffett at Fallsview Casino Resort.
The young lads did not partake in the evil labryinth of slot machines and card tables even though they had to master the maze of flashing lights, musical sounds, and synthetic clinking of goings to make their way to the buffett. The young men arrived at the gateway to the eating area and paid their $20 dues for admittance.
Upon seating, the battle of the buffett began with each member of the army devouring an assortment of food. The food was mid-grade, nothing great and nothing bad. The selection of product could of been better. For example, only a few items in the hot bar, 3 pizzas on the pizza bar and only 3 kinds of pasta to choose from. For the $20, a better selection could of been made at Golden Corral.
The best part of the meal was the seating. A glass room that overlooked the Niagra and American Falls provided a great ambience to the dining experience. -

One of the best places to stay while visiting Niagara Falls! Their suites have some the best views. Hence the name, Fallsview Casino! It's no joke, it's a gorgeous look. The family an I usually stay overnight. You can't ask for much more. The casino is just below you're feet too! Did I mention it's a non-smoking casino? My allergies don't act up in here!

Stayed here for one night, compliments of my Mom's Player's Advantage Card. With free parking, plenty of entertainment (i.e. casino) and a big spacious room (with a fallsview), this mid week stay was a great getaway.
Want freebies? Such the PAC card, and use it to play each time you go! I played for a bit in the last two days and I already got $3 cash back. You can use it on the slots or on the tables.
HOTEL
My biggest complaint was that there was no free wifi in the rooms, only in the lobby. However, the rooms themselves were clean, great big windows. The beds were okay in softeness, and tons of pillows in with different hardnesses. The bathroom had both a full bathtub and a glass shower.
The front desk folks were nice and courteous, and they seemed o bring things up to our room without extra cost.
CASINO
Because we were here in the morning, the tables start at $5 minimum, but as soon as more folks came within 15 mins, they had already increased it to $10. It makes a difference when playing certain games that start with an ante, but need more to continue the bet. The $5 min. lasted until about 11:30am.
My favourite game here is Texas Hold Em Poker. You pay the ante ($5) and you get two cards and so does the dealer. The point is to be able to beat the dealer with a higher hand of 5 cards. If you want to continue, you pay double ($10), the dealer will flip 3 cards. If you want to bet more you can bet the same as the ante ($5). If you have crappy cards, you can check. Another card flips, and again you have a choice. The great part is that if suddenly you find yourself with a guaranteed win, you may reap great rewards. You beat the dealer you win 1-1. There is a simliar Texas Hold Em Poker but you get bonuses if you get a special hand.
I also learnt a new game today. Mississippi Stud. You get 2 cards, with an ante ($5). If you want to continue playing you pay again up to 3x your ante ($5). The dealer flips 1 out of 3 cards. If you still want to continue, you pay again ($5), or you fold. Dealer flips 2 out of 3 cards. You pay again to continue. Then Dealer flips the last card. If you have pairs of 6s - 10s you get a push, meaning you win what you played. But if you already know this at card 2/3, you can bet $15 and you have a chance to get something more.
Anyhow....
You can also win a lot of money from slots, and this is the majority of the casino. There are so many flashing lights and lots of 1cent and 2 cent games. There are also certain games that have better payouts than others. I recommend Bombay, or LIttle Shop of Horrors or any of the cascading games.
It'd like an arcade for adults, but I don't think I could spend more than a day here.Listed in: NOV 2011 - 30 days Yelp…, Niagara Falls and On-The-Lake

While Fallsview is the nicer looking casino in Niagara, it is my second choice after Casino Niagara just because it is more crowded in general than Casino Niagara as it is flashier looking, but I always find it to have higher minimums and more crowded tables (I only play Blackjack or its variations and don't venture to the slots) and just more hectic in general to gamble at.
But any game you choose to play I'm sure you can find it in here. The worst times to visit are a weekend night especially in the summer until around 3 or 4am, come here on Sunday - Thursday morning around 8-10am and $10 or even $5 minimums can be had if you're lucky!
Also, complimentary soft drinks and coffee/tea is only available if you order via a waitress as opposed to going to the bar yourself (another way it differs from Casino Niagara).
There's no real difference in terms of dealers between here and Casino Niagara they both have pretty fun dealers, most are easy going but a few do take some of the fun away.
If you play slots, I have a feeling this is better just because due to the overall deco of the place the lights seem flashier! :)Listed in: A Trip to Niagara!

This was our first casino experience, so we don't have anything to compare it to, but we enjoyed it. The building is beautiful and has pretty landscaping in front complete with water feature. The inside is HUGE and has a whole galleria of shops and hotel. It's a really nice looking place and more upscale than the other casinos in Niagara. I got carded on the way in- hey thanks security man, for making me feel 18 again! My hubby was insulted that he wasn't and blamed his thinning hair.
We were hit by a dark room with a thousand slots and bright lights. WHOA! We got our money and played with $5 - hey, we're low rollers, and we like to hold onto our money, what can I say? We walked around a bit and ended up playing a lot of slots. At one point I had gotten my $5 to $19, but lost most of it and ended up with $7. Still we came out ahead so I consider myself a winner! The table games had minimums higher than we wanted to waste, so we just watched. No smoking made this a much more pleasant and tolerable experience. People watching was also fun - it's crazy to see how much dough people waste. But hey, to each his own. We had a good time and would come back and maybe even raise the stakes to $10 next time! -

It's like a big city in there!
I stayed here when I was visiting the falls for a night. I stayed in one of their suites and I absolutely loved it! The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with marble counter tops. I loved the fact they provided environmental friendly toiletries. It's nice to see a big entity that is helping the Earth.
The view from my suite was breathtaking. I could see the the Falls and most of the city from the windows. I couldn't stop staring out the windows. The only thing I found freaky was that there were numerous spiders all different sizes, hanging out right out side of the window from my room. I found that kind of odd and scary.
As far as the Casino, I didn't play anything, but the casino looked like fun. It seemed like the tables started at $5 and went up to $2000. Besides the casino, there's plenty of other things people can do. There's a bunch of cute little boutiques in the hotel. The cool thing about the boutiques at this hotel is that, they aren't outrageously priced as most boutiques at hotels like this are.
We went to one of the shows at the hotel. It was called the Spirit of Dance. It was very entertaining. The dancers were unbelievably talented. It hurt my eyes just watching their legs move because they were so good!
OH and if you're planning on visiting this casino, then you MUST visit the Swiss Fudge Store. The fudge is SO yummy! ANNDDD the coolest thing about this store is that you get to watch how they make fudge!!
There are plenty of restaurants with different price ranges to eat at . From really fancy to extremely casual, there's something for everyone!
Overall, it was a pleasant and fun experience at the hotel! -

The casino itself is gorgeous! I love all the shops and restaurants and the food court. Niagara Falls needs more stuff like this and less of the run down stuff that's so common.
The Grand Buffet was disappointing though. I posted a separate review on that. -

Came here because it was close to the Skylon Tower, and I'm glad I did. For starters, I was allowed to bring my backpack into the casino because I didn't bring anything that wasn't allowed.
The casino has lots of slots, table games and video poker. Looks like most casinos in Vegas. For some reason I was feeling good about this place.
Back up to 1999 when I went to Montreal, Quebec, Canada and ended up having 200+ dollars in Canadian money. Well, I FINALLY used this money to pay for admissions, food and souvenirs in Canada. I also used some of this money to play video poker and drink a few tall sized Molsons!
I made 75.00 in Canadian money last just over two hours of video poker. Didn't win big but it was a lot of fun. Very cool. The people who work here friendly and made sure their customers were having a good time.
This is not Vegas, but close enough, and way better than that joke of a casino in Niagara Falls, New York. If you like gaming, then consider this a must do!Listed in: Niagara Falls, USA and Canada

This is a wonder place to get away, even if you are not a casino gamer. I'm not and I go here whenever I can. It helps that my girlfriend is a casino gamer, but it's a fun getaway. Rooms are always clean and confortable staff is very curtious. For smokers, beleive it or not, they do have smoking rooms available.
They have an excellent work out area, very clean, lots of selection for machines. All typical weight training stuff, tread mills, recumbant bikes and elipticals. No waits.
Casino itself is easily the best I've been to, it's an awesome environment lots of slots and table, wide price ranges for any spending appetite. It does get very busy at time but it's worth going.... -

This is Casino that is much fun, elegant, and well designed. If you are slot player they have relatively decent comps, including meals, discounted or free hotels (how much do you play?), and countless promotions.
They have a great line-up of B-list entertainers, some of which were A-list in the 70's and 80's. It is a great place to spend an evening, but be aware that it is really crowded on week-ends.
You can always detour and see the Niagara Falls (not the souvenir shops, the FALLS). Always a great powerful sight to behold.
Good luck! -

This is the place to be seen.
The casino itself it's visually appealing. Little boutiques before you enter for the fun and games. I find the casino itself alittle overcrowded and for the cheapo like me ..there aren't a lot of penny machines haha.
(Most of them have been moved to the old casino near Clifton Hill).
I enojoy going there mainly for the entertainment on a Sat night at the bar. It's hit and miss with the bands but most of the time there are good acts. If you're lucky you can get a table and there is ALWAYS this one bald man who's dancing on the dancefloor who is entertaining - he just brings alittle something to that bar haha.
The shows that are available outside the casino are good too. Of course it depends when exactly you go because there are different celebrities all the time. -

When I realized there was a casino in the Niagara Falls area, I knew I had to stop by. Finally got the chance to do so. I head straight to the craps and roulette table where there's some very light action going, but this is on a Thursday afternoon. At the time the casino was exchanging at par $1 CAD to $1 USD, but you still had to go to the cashiers to use Canadian money. I only lost 1 Jackson...or in this case 1 Queen Elizabeth II. Real darn shame I could stay for more...and like all good casinos the drinks were free so what the heck...totally worth a visit.

I love Fallsview Casino and Resort! Not only are there a variety of machines to choose from, but if you have a PAC membership, you can get free parking at the Falls. The casino can get quite busy during peak hours of the day, and sometimes people there are rude, arrogant and pushy. However, the atmosphere is inviting, the bathrooms are always clean, the restaurant buffet is amazing, and it is so easy to find a bar or self-service beverage station.

Such a fun time :) It reminded me of a modest Vegas hotel. It has shopping, restaurants, a night club and a theatre. I was there when Sindbad performed and it was a hilarious performance! We had the VIP seating area and the food and drinks were amazing!!! The beds are uber comfy and the view of the falls was incredible!!!

I was so excited to head to Fallsview for a little bit of Vegas in Niagara. Someone else should build another casino in Niagara! It was so extremely busy at this place - even though we were there during "low season." This place is FILLED with slot machines, and they're all taken by baby boomers with greedy-filled eyes. There are a few table games, which are packed too! I was expecting a lot from this casino but was very underwhelmed. It's not that big, it's too packed to gamble, and although the buffet was only $20pp, there were fruit flies flying all around our table and the selection is not that great. The hotel lobby looked really nice when we passed by so a stay there could be nice. The stores were blah - go to Toronto instead. However, I did see more people than often hitting jackpots and winning stacks of bills!

MY DIANNETTE and I are NOT gamblers. However, the one of the best dining experiences in Ontario was right here in the Casino. For $20.00pp you get an all you can eat buffet. The food was delicious and NO KIDS allowed. The was a plus since you have to deal with the "screaming banshees" all day long at the attractions.....LOLOLOLOL.... (I LOVE KIDS).... I loved the food and the atmosphere. The desserts were AWESOME... FAT KID in me wakes up here.

If you ever venture up to Niagara Falls area, a visit to one of the two casinos on the Canadian side is a must! Both casinos, the old and this one, the newest are pretty good. They are similar, although this one has a massive hotel and shopping area and quite frankly is nicer and larger. The location is prime, towering on the hill above the falls and has a great view from the grounds. The outside is a huge towering building with a huge parking area garage and a mall complex and restaurant area. The interior is really nice, with marble floors, carpets and a food court area and shopping area. The place is new and at this point doesnt have enough restaurants and stores in it yet, but over time I'm sure it will. Bring your license or ID because you will need it to enter the casino portion since they check every person entering any entrance. the casino part is not large but big enough, but totally filled with slots. It almost seemed like it was all slots with a smaller part of being table games. I would say there was about 10 blackjack tables, 5 roulette tables, a casino war table, and a few other games. There is also a good size poker room with about 15 tables with ongoing games. There are a few bars and lounges and then a concert hall area. The interior ceilings are all painted with murals and then the hotel is right next to the casino. Aside from having very few tables games, this place gets pretty packed. Although it is nicer than the older casino down the street, the older one seemed to have more table games and the limits were less on the tables. Check them both out since they both are worth it!
