All things Niagara Falls tourism…
On Monday I received the latest newsletter from the Great Wolf Lodge. They are promoting special rates for September and October, including Halloween packages.

The Hilton construction continues. It looks like the second floor is complete and they are building up the third floor.
From Niagara This Week:
A commitment from the provincial government to extend a lease agreement for Casino Niagara is being heralded as great news by the city’s mayor.
Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor last week indicated a long-term lease extension for Casino Niagara will be coming down the pipeline in the next few weeks.
It’s the result of two years of lobbying the provincial government for a new long-term lease for the casino by Mayor Ted Salci, city and regional officials and members of the private sector.
“This is great news for the entire Niagara region,” said Salci, who noted 2,000 jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in new development in the Clifton Hill area could have been lost if Casino Niagara was shut down. “We are encouraged we will have something formal to celebrate (soon).”
From the Niagara Falls Review:
An underwhelming tourist season and expiring visas have forced Cirque Niagara to shut its season down two weeks early. After gaining a foothold in the Niagara market last year, the made-in-Russia circus endured a slow summer, performing fewer shows before smaller crowds. The show’s $1.3 million tent at Rapids View Park will be dismantled after Sunday’s show.
The season was scheduled to run until Oct. 6.
“We’ve got a lot of overhead, and revenues were not what we expected this year,” said Jana Ray, Cirque Niagara’s director of sales and marketing. “We still did quite well, but at the same time it wasn’t our expectations.”
