As mentioned previously, the Fun House on Clifton Hill is undergoing a face lift. I’m sure it will look much more attractive. I haven’t heard if they are doing anything on the inside.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
Two Superman movies - 25 years apart - are good reminders of how much Casino Niagara has transformed Niagara Falls, casino spokesman Greg Medulun says.
“The Superman II movie was filmed here in the early ’80s. The movie showed a pink bearskin rug in a honeymoon suite. That was the image of the Falls.
“This year, Fallsview hosted the Canadian premiere of Superman Returns in a billion-dollar casino resort, surrounded by new hotel developments,” said Medulun, corporate communications manager for Niagara’s casinos, in an interview looking back at the casino’s first 10 years.
That cheesy ’80s image changed in no small part due to the arrival of casino gambling and the kickstart it gave the economy.
As Casino Niagara prepares to mark its 10th anniversary this weekend, this is a time to take stock of what it has meant to Niagara Falls.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Saturday’s 10th anniversary party for Casino Niagara will be a much more low-key affair than the one held on opening day. On Dec. 9, 1996, 30,000 people passed through the doors - after standing in lines in the cold - to get a glimpse of what was billed as a bit of Las Vegas in southern Ontario.
This Saturday, Casino Niagara spokesman Greg Medulun said he expects more than 10,000 players will come out to mark the occasion.
“We’ll have a 10-theme day, so from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. our customers will be entered into a draw for 10,000 Players Access Card points,” he said. “We’ll have the draw at 10 p.m. Our 10,000th visitor of the day will also get 10,000 PAC points.”
Those points equate to $1,000 in cash to use at the casino on everything from food to merchandise.
