Doesn’t have quite the same zing as the original? Well, get used to it, because our city of the whirling waters is definitely trying to position itself as a smaller, wetter version of Las Vegas … especially in the area of entertainment.

Conventional vacation destinations are all suffering a decline in attendance. From Yellowstone Park to Disney World, the numbers are way, way down over the past few years.
Even a local Ontario icon like the Maid of the Mist is reportedly taking in 40 per cent fewer customers than it did not that long ago.
