The Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort (commonly known as Fallsview Casino) is a resort casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It opened publicly on June 10, 2004. The $1 billion complex overlooks the Horseshoe Falls and is one of the most prominent features of the Niagara skyline. The site was once the transformer station building for the Ontario Power Company at the foot of Horseshoe Falls. It was also occupied by the Canadian Pacific Railway Montrose Subdivision. The complex is owned by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. As of June 2019, the casino's day-to-day operations are managed by Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment.[1]
History[edit]
Planning began in February 1998 – Falls Management Group L.C. selected to develop new casino resort.
Construction began in 2001 and the resort opened on June 10, 2004.
Building[edit]
The east facade of the complex retains the walls of the terrace and front entrance of the transformer station built in 1904. The area where the transformers resided is now the Grand Hall convention halls.
At the main entrance is a water feature called 'The Teslatron'. During its first few years of functioning it featured nightly displays with added audio and lighting but over the past few years this has ceased. At street level there is a fountain that varies its height with the wind so as not to wet pedestrians and passing cars.
Ticketing[edit]
When players need to cash out their money from the Ticket-In, Ticket-Outslot machines, the player is given a bar-coded paper ticket. Tickets are referred to as TITO(s). Tickets are void after 90 days.

This space at Skylon was BEST parking spot all day for $7 and very close distance for walk to falls.
Best place to view the falls. Walk the entire length for some nice scenery. Lots of tourists around in your way though. Don't be that guy who stops his car in the road for pictures. Pay for parking.
Wear good comfortable shoes as you will be walking everywhere. Parking is a premium! If you venture down fall side have a rain jacket on as you will get wet from the mist.
The island parking is 10 bucks at daytime. But come around sunset, it's free
Try telling the parking attendant you don't have any cash to get free parking!
Beautiful state park. Walk the entire path for some nice scenery. Parking van be a bit difficult so either keep your car at the hotel or find Street parking somewhere to save a few bucks.
Park on Buffalo ave if you want cat-bird parking for the parks and attractions.
Fast walker? Park at Three Sisters Island for FREE and hoof 1/4 mile to the Falls to avoid a $10 car parking fee.
Arrive at 8pm just as the sun sets on summer and avoid the $10 parking fee. Also the observation deck is open and free. Watch the sun go down as the water falls light up
Go right to the state park! Free parking - $12 dollar boat ride. Avoid Cataract Tours like the plague - $10 dollar parking (as opposed to free in the state park or $5 in the town lot.)
I enjoyed every second there very closed to the great falls. Spectacular Front Views..
Awesome way to get up close to one of the seven wonders of the world. But, go to the Cave of the Winds first. There, you will receive free sandals that you can use when you board the Maid of the Mist.
Food and service was amazing! A hidden gem just off the main streets. Try the Kasbah for Two— perfect selections, affordable, and you will leave stuffed!
Did the Kasbah for two. Completely stuffed! And everything was wonderful.
Order the four course dinner, it’s price efficient. Use money saved on souvenirs. #Touristhack
So yummy--truly awesome experience for the meat lover --good tunes too!
I am Brazilian, and I can say, is delicious. I felt at home, as if it were in Brazil!
Beautiful views. Too bad they now charge for parking and setup a tree top style obstacle course. I find it detracts from the area. It used to be a wonderful place to have a picnic.
parking lot + pickup line is a nightmare on the long weekends. avoid at all costs.
Love the 3 gallon of Crown for $50.00. Great deals.
Small but very informative museum. Great way to learn about the local area and its history. Free parking in the back if you park against the fence.
Interesting little museum if you have an interest in local history. Only $5, which is a steal compared to most entertainment options in town. And, you can dress up as a War of 1812 soldier!
It's a fun learning place! I enjoyed the time we spend here, everyone learned something new and something amazing.
All tables are fantastic views - and the food, EVERYTHING, is amazing. No need to leave the hotel to find good food. This is closer, better, and much less expensive than the tourist spots
The beet and arugula salad is AMAzing!
I tried the “Big Bang” 8 beer tasting flight! The beers were great to fantastic! We had the nachos with guacamole and pico de gallo....wonderful!!! The service was also outstanding!! Got 4 cans to go!
The food and drinks were ok.. we were seated and waited for over 45 min to be served. We watched over 6 people come in after us and got served before us. Terrible waiters. Terrible experience...
Was honestly more impressed with the guest taps than with the house brews themselves. The food offered, albeit from a limited menu, may have been better than the beer. A pleasant find on Clifton Hill.
3 stars hotels that is worth the money; wide rooms, 10 min from the falls. It also has a concierge and free parking. They serve a free breakfast for all (but it is a very basic one)
Comfortable beds
Rooms ok but hate to pay for the internet and parking
Great fallsview sweets! Room service actually has a lot of food
Ask the concierge for tips on dining and attractions - they have great coupons !
Awesome Starbucks! Right in the Sheraton hotel! Great service!
Tip the baristas and they will make your drink with extraordinary love and compassion.
Very convenient parking on-site versus valet, $12 daily selfparking fee. No waiting for your car.
Nice hotel. Can't see much from the rooms though. 2 block walk to the casino. Parking is 13 per night. Only 2 elevators for many floors so it can take a while. HHonors diamond breakfast stinks.

Great and cosy hotel! Plus you get a cookie when you check in. Otherwise the staff is nice, the rooms are clean and pretty quiet. The view isn't breathtaking, but you can still see the Niagara Falls
