All things Niagara Falls tourism…
I don’t know what exactly this blog is for, but there is a Blogger blog that mentions Niagara Falls as a honeymoon destination. It essentially talks about the regular things you can do in Niagara Falls:
Honeymooning couples have made their way to Niagara Falls for nearly 200 years. Although the area hasn’t made it onto the Top Ten list of lovers’ destinations for quite some time, Niagara Falls continues to offer some unique charms.
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.”
Yesterday I mentioned that there was some filming going on. It didn’t appear that they had anything setup, but there was lots of equipment around. Today they are actually filming something in the courtyard area between Boston Pizza, Tim Hortons and the Niagara SkyWheel. It appears to be some sort of Bollywood film. There was a girl singing (lipsyncing) and while I was there they did the same thing 4 or 5 times.
There was a small crowd gathered around

Here is a brief Blogger posting where a man describes his family’s trip to Niagara Falls
Last week the three of us took off to Niagara Falls for a few days. It was great, Brydon had such a good time. One we got settled in, we started our vacation going in and out of the shops on the way down Clifton Hill.
On Sunday I received the latest issue of the Falls Avenue Newsletter (the last one I got was #9, so I’m not sure what happened to #10). They are promoting several different packages. At the bottom of the newsletter, they also have a Travel Deals section where they highlight several good airfares. This is a good idea.
To subscribe, visit their “Spin to Win” page and fill out the form. Be sure to check that you’d “like to receive news on Niagara Falls discounts and seasonal special eMail”.
I’m not sure what it was for, but there was some filming going on yesterday on Clifton Hill. When I was by, there was a bunch of people and equipment outside Boston Pizza and by the concessions underneath Boston Pizza (Spuds and Sweets & Treats).
Most of the people standing around seemed to be of middle-eastern descent (Indian, Pakistani, etc). I don’t know where they were from or what they were filming.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
