Beside the falls

From the Economic Times (in India):

So what do you do when you’ve seen the most famous waterfall in the world? Never venture to that neck of Ontario ever again? Not quite, because there is another — entirely different but some would say equally engrossing — attraction just a block away: Clifton Hill in the city of Niagara Falls.

Some call it an exotic place, dazzling and vibrant, some call it a tourist trap. I think it is somewhere in between, and definitely not a ‘trap’ because the option of spending money is ultimately mine. And everyone who has ever visited Clifton Hill will agree that it is a most happening place!

Pool Party at Great Wolf Lodge!

Last Thursday I received the latest newsletter from the Great Wolf Lodge. They are promoting a rate for their “neighbours” starting at $150. I would assume that only those who live close to the hotel got this newsletter.

Travelodge At the Falls News (mid-May)

On Sunday I received the latest newsletter from the Travelodge at the Falls. Several packages are highlighted. One thing I did notice was that the new Bronto’s Playland is still not mentioned at all.

Bigger Venue, Bigger Acts

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Putting more bums in more seats could be part of Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort’s recipe for keeping its gamblers happy.

Falls Management Co., is considering adding a 5,000-seat entertainment centre to the casino, said casino spokesman Greg Medulun.

“Entertainment complexes are critical and important drivers for the casino industry,” Medulun said.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming recently authorized Falls Management to hire a consultant to look into adding a new entertainment centre. Niagara Casinos president Art Frank gave hundreds of casino associates an update on the situation Monday.

Frank was chief executive officer at Casino Rama, near Orillia, when that casino built a 5,000-seat entertainment centre and hotel worth $225 million in 2001.
