The ranking
Our order rests on eight weighted criteria. The casino access note on each card matters: only one property on this list has a casino under its own roof.
The only property on this list where the casino floor, the hotel and the big stage sit under one roof.
A tower that sits between the casino and the theatre, so the walk from table to bed is measured in feet.
An 18-storey hotel with a glass walkway to Fallsview Casino and two steakhouses in the lobby wing.
A 669-room Falls Avenue tower with balconies, an Italian dining room and an indoor link to Casino Niagara.
A 1,200-room hotel complex with an indoor link to Casino Niagara, and a Tapestry Collection hotel that keeps its own steakhouse.
Editor’s picks
Different nights need different rooms. These are our picks by purpose, each tied to a fact the venue publishes.
Best for poker
Fallsview does not offer Texas Hold’em. Casino Niagara does, with an 18-table room open noon to 3:45 am. The Sheraton is connected to it by an indoor link.
Read the reviewBest for blackjack
Seven blackjack variants are named on the official table games page, from Blackjack Switch to Super 4 Progressive, on a floor with 110 gaming tables.
Blackjack guideBest for VIP gaming
A VIP-only floor with 27 high-limit table games and 95 slots, overlooking the Falls. Qualification rules and limits are not published, so you have to ask the VIP team.
VIP guideBest for entertainment
The hotel says it is directly connected to the OLG Stage, so a late show means an indoor walk home. Fallsview lists over 320 shows a year across two venues.
