The other day when I was out I found a Players Advantage Club card on the ground. As hard as this may seem to believe, I’ve never been inside either casino! I know people who go regularly, but it’s just not my thing. Anyway, since I found a PAC card, I figured I’d provide you with some information. First of all, here’s the card:

Players Advantage Club

Membership #

Full Name

Your Players Advantage Club (PAC) membership is subject to the PAC program’s rules and conditions. Use of this card indicates acceptance of such rules and conditions. Must be at least 19 years of age to join and enter the casino. This card and benefits are non-transferable, and government photo ID may be required when using this card.

Know your limit, play within it! The Ontario Problem Gambling Helpline 1-888-230-3505

Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort 1-888-FALLSVUE

Casino Niagara 1-888-WIN-FALL

Probably the biggest perk for the average person is that you get free parking. I’ve posted numerous times about the cost of parking in Niagara Falls. If you sign up for the free Players Advantage Club, you get free parking. Not bad! But there are lots more perks as well. You earn points which can get you cash back. If you earn enough points, you can also get discounts and comps at different parts of the casino. The Casino Niagara web site has a good page of the benefits.

I think it is funny that a government owned/regulated casino also includes information on a government run help service. But it’s still very wise advise. Don’t let your gaming become a problem!

This is old news, but I finally took a picture of it recently. The Cadillac Motel on Ferry Street looks like it’s been closed for a while now. There has been a forsale sign on one part of the building for a year or so.

It’s a crummy place for a motel, but a restaurant or retail shop might do ok.

Chris used their sign for one if his Photos of the Day in late April of last year.

The Star Dragon Restaurant on Ferry Street (or is it still Victoria Avenue at that point?) is closed until February 7. The blinds are closed, so I don’t know if its closed because business is slow in the winter, or if they are doing renovations.

This is the restaurant that used to be Brandino’s Italian Ristorante & Cafe. It opened last year as Star Dragon Restaurant.

HOCO has made some great progress on the new Tim Hortons / Retail building that they are constructing on Clifton Hill. Getting the site ready to start the new building took a while, but the building itself seems to be coming along quickly.
