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. Either hall welcomes guests 19 or older through all 24 hours of all seven days. One Momentum rewards card works at both. The straight-line gap between them measures 1.4 km.
Fallsview Casino Resort
Fallsview Casino Resort, set on a cliff that overlooks the Horseshoe Falls, first admitted 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, beside Clifton Hill, welcomed its first guests on December 9, 1996. Across two levels, its 95,000 square feet of gaming contain more than 1,300 machines for slots and video poker, ranging 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

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. Closing time is 11 pm from Sunday to Thursday, then 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

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
In Ontario, online casino play has run as a regulated market since April 4, 2022. The AGCO, short for Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, acts as regulator. Before it can operate, a private company needs to register with the AGCO and sign an operating contract with iGaming Ontario. The official list is the iGaming Ontario directory on igamingontario.ca, and regulated sites carry two logos, iGaming Ontario and BetGuard. A bet can be placed only by someone aged 19 or older who is physically in Ontario; the government operates OLG.ca.
Readers who follow the Ad links on the home page reach a privately owned online casino partner. The guide receives commissions from this partner, which can be replaced by another.
