Fallsview is the hotel most people picture when they picture a Canadian casino-hotel: a vast, glittering gaming floor perched directly above the Horseshoe Falls, with a tower of rooms, a spa, a theatre and enough dining to never leave.
The gaming floor at Fallsview is simply enormous — a sprawling, multi-level room with thousands of slot machines, a deep spread of table games, a busy poker room and high-limit salons. For sheer scale and energy, no other casino-hotel in the country matches it, and the wall of glass over the Falls gives it a view no rival can touch.
The hotel tower holds around 370 rooms and suites, many angled toward the Falls, comfortable and generously sized. Because the rooms sit directly above the casino, the walk from the tables to bed is as short as it gets.
There are more than a dozen restaurants and bars, from a steakhouse and a buffet to casual cafes, plus a spa, an indoor pool and a 1,500-seat theatre that draws big-name acts. You can fill a weekend without stepping outside.
Fallsview sits in the heart of Niagara Falls, about ninety minutes from Toronto and a short hop from the border. It is not the cheapest stay in town, but for the scale of the casino and the quality of the view, it earns its price.
