All things Niagara Falls Tourism (attractions, dining, accommodations, etc)
Yesterday I received the latest issue of the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter. It is much shorter than usual, and is promoting a couple of packages.

Global TV’s Bill Coulter has a feature where he visits various Ontario events or locations. He was recently in Niagara Falls
From funhouse attractions to a wild bird kingdom to towering sight-seeing rides, Niagara Falls has got a lot more to offer than just the majestic Falls. For this segment of Coulter’s Ontario Escapes, Bill travels to the honeymoon capital and discovers one wonder after another.
You can view the video on the Global TV web site. Click on the Coulter’s Escapes link, and then in the new window that opens, you want to view the January 18 feature.
TravelPod has a posting about someone’s recent trip to Niagara Falls:
Today we got up early to take Chris to Niagara Falls since he has never been there.
We had a leisurely breakfast and then parked at the Casino (it’s really cheap there, especially if you are a casino member, it’s free to join, and then you usually get free parking)
By the way, another place for free parking is in the Comfort Inn at the top of Clifton Hill. Just park there, and tell the parking attendant you are going to Rumours nightclub/restaurant, then you’re good for the whole day.
Last summer the former Baskin Robbins and Mr. Sub reopened as the Victoria Avenue Beer Garden. Well, I don’t know if it still technically has that name, but the signs on the outside of the building are now calling it Brewed Awakening.
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about their visit to Niagara Falls last weekend:
So this weekend we drove from NYC to Niagara Falls, Ontario to see my family for a late Christmas celebration of sorts…
In addition to family dinners and visits, we also saw some tacky tourist stuff. My favorite local monument is the giant Frankenstein eating a Whopper at the top of Clifton Hill. Nothing expresses Niagara Falls’ crass blend of monster museums, fast food and big dumb signage like this guy…
From Buffalo Business First:
The Electric Tower in downtown Buffalo and the Niagara Falls cataracts will be illuminated in red on Feb. 1 to commemorate February as American Heart month.
LiveJournal user PghKitten has posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
Our second annual ill-advised trip to Canada during winter went extremely well this past weekend! The weather was indeed very cold, and we were snowed on a great deal on Saturday, but we bundled up and persevered. The only problem I had with the hotel was that most of its clientele consisted of screaming 19-year-olds who had come to Niagara Falls to drink; they had a very loud conversation outside our room at 3 AM one night, but in terms of cleanliness and location the Travelodge wasn’t too bad. It was right around the corner from the Casino Niagara. We did a good bit of gambling (we didn’t really win anything, but we only spent about 1/3 of the budgeted amount we had set aside, over three separate visits to the casinos), took some nice pictures of the falls, and indulged in as many silly touristy things as we could.
From PRWeb:
Niagara Falls hotels have whipped up a variety of holiday packages to help make Valentine’s sweeter and Family Day more fun. Whether touring Niagara vineyards or enjoying elegant dining at Niagara Falls restaurants, Valentine’s visitors this February 14, 2008 have many ways to celebrate, while families have plenty of Niagara attractions and family activities for quality time together on Family Day, February 18, 2008.
Someone named Ambrose Kennedy has posted some thoughts about Niagara Falls:
Ontario. or New York, whatever.
I may be bias, But the Canadian side!! We have a lot to offer, a lot of choice for accommodations ( Big Name brand hotels, small family runs ones, B&B’s along the Niagara River), cheap motels (not something I would recommend), Camp grounds, hostels you name it it’s here.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
If you’ve gone to a casino, it’s not a coincidence if you felt drawn in by the flashing lights, ringing bells and the maze of slot machines.
That’s exactly how casino operators want it to be, said Karen Finlay, associate professor at the University of Guelph’s school of Marketing and Consumer Studies.
“It’s the design of the casino,” said Finlay, who has studied the issue of problem gambling for several years.
Finlay and a team of researchers at the university recently unveiled a lab known as ‘Virtual Vegas’ - a 360-degree, 1,700 square foot composite of 17 of the Sin City’s most famous gaming floors. It’s aimed at helping researchers understand what compels people to keep playing even after they know it’s time to go home.
