Best casino in Niagara Falls

[Mike Z]

I am looking for a good casino in Niagara Falls to play some low limit Hold’em and spend a couple of nights. I will be taking my wife so it would be nice if they have some other entertainment as well. Do you know any good casino packages for a two-day stay?

PS. This is for our anniversary so the other entertainment part is kind of important.

Well, if you want to stay AT the Casino, then you really don't have many options.

The Niagara Fallsview Casino has a nice hotel - I don't think there is a hotel at Casino Niagara - and the Seneca Niagara Casino hotel isn't finished yet.

So that leaves you at Fallsview - but the hotels are basically all within walking distance of one another - so you can stay at any of them.

You will pay premium $$$ for a room with an unobstructed view of the falls - be prepared for that. Also make sure to check the maps of where the hotels are - You will hear several terms used

Fallsview - means just that
At The Falls - nowhere near the falls
Near The Falls - maybe you can see some of the At The Falls hotels
Niagara Falls - St. Catherines

(exaggeration, but you get the point)

now - on to the important stuff - if you really want to make your lady happy, you will follow my advice and don't question it.

Do you have a car? If not, rent one. You want to take the Niagara Parkway drive out to Niagara On The Lake. Once there, you will want to spend some time strolling the main street - it is a historical village filled with many "cute" stores - she will love it.

Also - make sure to go to at least one of the wineries - my favorites are Inniskillin and Jackson Triggs

You want 3 diffrent things but here is a quick breakdown:

Fallsview - has a hotel, "decent" enetertainment, but they only offer mid/hilimit action, they offer a shuttle to Casino Niagara

Casino Niagara- a pit IMHO, but low limit action, loose players

Seneca [my choice] low limit games [2/4,3/6,4/8 and 1/2 NL] and a nice place, dealers know what there doing etc, there ar ehotels near by and if your American you dont have to change your money. Also a lower rake.

Overall however its the Canada side thats got all the tourist traps the American side of the falls is a dump except for the casino and the hotel.

Yeah - but a happy wife should = more time for poker - you gotta give to get!

I also agree about the rooms - Seneca Niagara is the class of the area, without question.

Technically Casino Niagara does not have a hotel but the Sheraton and Brock Plaza (?) are close enough that they might as well be part of the casino.

My GF and I stayed at the Sheraton 2 summers ago and it was relatively inexpensive on a weekend for a cityview room. For a good meal, may I recommend Twenty One at the Casino Niagara. Excellent food, great atmosphere.

It used to be good, but it's now a crappy buffet restaurant.

Brock rooms suck. Lobby, etc is nice but rooms are tiny and shabby.

When are you going? Wife is dragging me there next month.
