All things Niagara Falls tourism…
This picture was taken on Murray Hill looking up towards the Skylon Tower building. The hill on the left side goes up to a walkway that goes over the street to the Fallsview Casino. It looks like Skylon Tower operators are building a pedestrian walkway over their entrance driveway to try to facilitate walking traffic to and from these two properties.
Greg Frewin is an accomplished magician who is from the Stoney Creek area of Ontario. He has been performing magic for years, and this year has come to Niagara Falls.
The newest attraction to Niagara Falls, The Greg Frewin Theatre, a 700 seat dinner theatre centrally located at top of Clifton Hill, will present Las Vegas shows nightly.
A magic review show starring “The International Grand Champion of Magic” Greg Frewin. Greg earned his title by winning first place in all of the World’s top magic competitions, a feat that has never been duplicated by any magician. He has gone on to appear on many of the World’s top stages such as The Flamingo Hilton, Caesar’s Palace and the Tropicana in Las Vegas, The Crystal Palace Casino in Nassau, Bahamas and has been featured in over 35 TV specials around the world.
We stopped by today to take some pictures of the building (we’ll post those later) and Robert Wolf, the building manager, came out to talk to us. He gave us a quick tour of the building and told us a little of what was going on.
Robert (who is married to Greg’s sister) was very friendly and said it was too bad that we hadn’t been there just a few minutes earlier as we could have met both Greg, and the head chef.

New shuttle links city’s two casinos
NIAGARA FALLS - It’s a little easier this week to travel between Niagara’s two casinos.
Officials with Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara say the two properties are now linked by a dedicated, door-to-door shuttle service for up to 17 hours a day.
Both casinos offer guests different experiences and patrons have asked for a link between the two, so they can experience the best of both, said Larry Lewin, president of Niagara Casinos.
The shuttles will operate on 20-minute intervals between 10 a.m. and 1 a.m. Sunday to Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
At the Fallsview Casino, shuttles will arrive and depart using the motorcoach facility, while at Casino Niagara they will arrive and depart at the south parking lot near the main entrance.
While the shuttle from Fallsview travels directly to Casino Niagara through the heart of the city, the shuttle from Casino Niagara to Fallsview travels down Clifton Hill and along the Niagara Parkway, with an additional stop at the bottom of Murray Hill in the heart of the Niagara Parks.
“The route along Clifton Hill and the Niagara Parkway and pas the Falls was arranged so our out-of-town guests have a chance to see some of the wonderful elements that make this area so attractive to visitors,” said Lewin.
The shuttle service went into effect last week.
Cafe Tu Tu Tango (above the Wolfgang Puck Cafe) will have its grand opening June 1, 2005. I received a flier yesterday in the mail that was delivered to most Niagara Region residents. I’ll scan it and post it later, but for now here are a few notes:
Here is the contact information for the two restaurants:
