01 · The casino
Gaming floor
The floor sprawls across multiple levels with a polished high-limit salon, a busy poker room and one of the deepest slot selections in the country. Table minimums climb on Saturday nights, so weekdays suit anyone who prefers lower minimums.

Rooms & suites
Ask for a Falls-view room above the 20th floor. The nighttime illumination of the Horseshoe Falls is the reason you're here. Standard rooms are generous and recently refreshed with marble baths.

Entertainment
The OLG Stage hosts touring headliners nearly every weekend, and Clifton Hill's attractions are a short walk downhill.

Getting there
About 90 minutes from Toronto by car. GO Trains run to Niagara Falls station year-round, then it's a short taxi ride.
You must be 19 or older to enter a casino in Ontario, and ID is checked. Gaming floor hours, rates and facilities change, so confirm with the resort before you travel.
The verdict
“Canada's most complete casino resort. Expensive at peak, but nothing else matches the view-plus-floor combination.”
