Choosing between the two
Fallsview Casino Resort suits an evening built around a hotel room, a show or dinner at 21 Club. Its Salon Privé holds high-limit Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps and single-zero Roulette. A live craps table runs Friday and Saturday from 8 pm to 2 am, in front of the main cage.
Casino Niagara suits a night built around the poker room, which serves both casinos. Its live tables run daily from noon to 3:45 am, and LEV2L Sports Bar sits on the second level. Both halls are open 24 hours, 7 days a week, for guests 19 or older. One Momentum rewards card works at both. They stand 1.4 km apart in a straight line.
Fallsview Casino Resort
Fallsview Casino Resort stands on a cliff overlooking the Horseshoe Falls and opened to the public on June 10, 2004. The gaming space covers 200,000 square feet. It holds over 3,200 slot and video poker machines, from 1 cent to $100, and over 110 gaming tables. There is no Texas Hold'em poker here; the poker room for both casinos is at Casino Niagara.
Off the floor, the Galleria holds shops, the Avalon Theatre and an indoor walkway to OLG Stage. The resort also runs its own 372-room hotel.
Casino Niagara by Clifton Hill
Casino Niagara opened on December 9, 1996, beside Clifton Hill. Its 95,000 square feet of gaming hold over 1,300 slot and video poker machines on two levels, from pennies to $5. Slots and electronic table games run around the clock. Live tables, from Blackjack and Roulette to Mississippi Stud and Three Card Poker, run daily from noon to 3:45 am.
Level 2 holds the poker room and LEV2L Sports Bar, with 275 seats and more than 50 HD screens. Everyone on the property must be 19 or older, in every dining spot too, and children are not permitted.
Staying the night
The resort hotel at Fallsview has 372 rooms, with check-in at 4 pm and check-out at 11 am. A guaranteed noon check-in and a 1 pm check-out are offered for a fee, for a limited number of rooms. Room service runs daily from 7 am to 11 am and 6 pm to 11 pm. The indoor pool is open 7 am to 10 pm, the workout area 7 am to 9 pm.
Three hotels link to the casinos. The Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel & Suites reaches Fallsview by a covered skyway. The Wyndham Grand Fallsview Hotel has direct indoor access to Fallsview, and The Brock Niagara Falls-Fallsview to Casino Niagara. Hotel-and-show packages are not available; Fallsview hotel rooms are booked through 1 (888) 325-5788.
Dinner by the hour
Fallsview has more than 20 dining options and no buffet. OpenTable takes reservations at 21 Club Steak & Seafood, Ponte Vecchio and Golden Lotus; the rest are walk-in. 21 Club opens Thursday to Sunday, 5 pm to 10 pm. Its entrance is through the Salon Privé, so diners must be 19 or older, and business casual is recommended. Ponte Vecchio and Bar Barista accept guests under 19.
At Casino Niagara, LEV2L Sports Bar serves pub fare from noon daily. It closes at 11 pm Sunday to Thursday and at midnight on Friday and Saturday. Chill Bar at the Rotunda entrance is open daily 9 am to 2 am. Both casinos have self-serve stations on the floor with coffee, tea, water and soft drinks.
A seat at the poker table
Fallsview has no Texas Hold'em; the poker room for both casinos is at Casino Niagara, Level 2. Its 18 tables run high and low limits from noon to 3:45 am daily; stakes are not published. Players can call (905) 353-7000 up to 90 minutes before arriving to go on the wait list. On arrival, they check in at the Poker desk. Seats can also be reserved ahead in the Bravo Poker Live app.
The two show halls
Fallsview has two show halls: OLG Stage, with 5,000 seats, and the Avalon Theatre, with 1,559, in the Galleria. Tickets are sold only through Ticketmaster, as mobile tickets in its app, and screenshots are not accepted. The box office opens at noon on show days, and doors open 1 hour before showtime. Both halls are all-ages, but children 12 and under need an adult and everyone needs a ticket. The line-up of over 320 shows a year is on the resort's own events calendar at fallsviewcasinoresort.com.

Online play in Ontario
Ontario's regulated online casino market opened on April 4, 2022. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is the regulator. A private operator needs AGCO registration and an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The official list is the iGaming Ontario directory at igamingontario.ca, and regulated sites display the iGaming Ontario and BetGuard logos. Players must be 19 or older and physically in Ontario to place a bet; OLG.ca is the government-run site.
