This interesting article from the Globe and Mail is about the author’s trip to the Fallsview Casino. There was one part near the middle of the article that stood out to me:
Fallsview is so tasteful and appealing, it’s almost disruptive  especially when you consider that just three blocks away you can stroll lurid, seedy Clifton Hill and rock out at a stuck-in-the-seventies heavy metal wax museum, marvel at a foam and plaster haunted house incongruously crammed next to a mini Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome, shop at the World Wrestling Entertainment doll store, ride the Pink Panther’s balloon tower (you can’t make this stuff up), or eat cheeseburgers underneath a two-storey-high Frankenstein’s monster.
I think that all reports want to think of Clifton Hill as tacky. Almost the entire south side of Clifton Hill has been renovated (the HOCO Limited side), yet the article didn’t mention that at all. The heavy metal wax museum isn’t even on Clifton Hill, and the haunted house, the dome, WWE store, Pink Panther ride, and Frankenstein are all on the other side of the road.
