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.
