Fallsview Casino Resort

Fallsview stands on the escarpment above the falls, and the view organises the whole building. Restaurants, upper-floor rooms and the public levels all face the same way, for the obvious reason.

The resort carries a large theatre that books touring names, a spa, a shopping concourse and a wide range of dining. The gaming floor is one room among many rather than the spine of the plan.

The falls themselves and the promenade along the river are walkable, which is what makes the property usable for a family trip rather than only an evening out.

Ask for height when you book directly with the hotel; the difference between floors here is not a small one.
