The resort
Fallsview Casino Resort stands on the cliff above the Horseshoe Falls. It opened on June 10, 2004 at a cost of about $1 billion, still the Ontario government's largest single investment in the Niagara region. Mohegan has operated it for OLG since 2019.
Rooms and stay
The hotel has 372 rooms and suites, many with views of the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls or the city. It connects to the rest of the resort indoors, so you can reach the shops, restaurants and theatres without going outside. There's an indoor pool and a fitness centre.
Spa
Damara Day Spa, an organic spa using Eminence products, is at the resort.
