    Anyone been to Niagara Falls?

    Booking a hotel for two nights and never been there. Canadian or NY side doesn't matter. Price not a big factor. Anyone know of a really good place?

    been several times on the Canadian side. usually get hotels comped at Fallsview casino, try that... if not I stayed at the Sheraton Four Points a couple of times, it is connected to Fallsview casino and you can get free parking at the casino, just get a players card and a little bit of rated play

    yeah if you have a passport canada side

    there's a great wolf lodge on canada side, amusement park, lots of great restaurants and attractions

    for small kids don't do the "niagara's fury" if you do the 4 attractions pass (maid of the mist/journey behind the falls/white water walk)

    my 5 year old daughter was terrified and wouldn't stop crying

    oh and if you're looking for rooms you definitely want "falls view" and the highest floor you can get
    marriott has a great view

    Try the Brassa Brazilian Steakhouse at the Hilton Fallsview. Grab one of the luxury suites overlooking the Falls. Floors 41 through 50 Rooms have jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces in the corner suites looking out a wall wide view of the Falls. I am a Hilton diamond member and get frequent free stays at that hotel.

    i agree

    also forgot to mention that cool ride that takes you up/down the hill to the hotels from down by horseshoe falls.

    like a giant car that you sit in and goes straight up and down, great view and fun to ride

    Thanks everyone. Good info so far. She's been there, I haven't. She did say she prefers Canadian side.

    The pictures of the Hilton look amazing.

    Really nice hotel/casino on the American side, that the Seneca tribe owns, look into that one. Nice views of the falls from the west side of the hotel if it's not too pricey.

    Yeah, bring your passport so you can see the Canadian side and tool around that part of the city. American side is more ghetto than you'd expect.

    Ralphie brings up a good point. The canadian side is more classed up at least alongside the border. The american side had the seneca casino a pizza hut and howard johnson last time i was there and looked like it was plopped in the middle of a ghetto.

    You will love falls view casino like others have stated try the casino hotel, or Hilton across te street.

    If you want club scene, dragon fly is outside the casino it's the busiest place in niagara.

    If your not going with wife, check out sundowners strip club.

    Lundys lane for outlet shopping ( pretty shit though)



    Copa cobana amazing all u can eat meat restaurant around $75 on the weeken but worth it look it up

    I knew nothing about Niagara Falls, always thought it would be a boring place to go. It appears I was wrong.

    You should always think of PM'ing me whenever you go out with just the wife. I always have ways of deleting them from the situation.

    I don't advocate anything while kids are around or involved.

    Cheeeeeers.

    Club Mintz used to be great, Sundowner is good, and Pure Platinum was okay.

    WVG, you can take the wife there too, the girls will be all over you and her.

    I have taken her to a few clubs, and it's amazing the attention you get when you have a woman with you.

    Cool stories bros

    Niagara falls Fukkin blows. Tourist trap 110%. No fukkin free drinks in the casino. Hard to believe no one pointed that out yet. Hilarious that everyone trashes AC but talks NF up. Apples and oranges but either way it sucks.

    IIRC, there are free drinks if you're at a machine, but just there. Anyway, free stuff isn't everybody's motivation for enjoying a hotel/casino. We have become a discount society post-recession, so maybe it is a big deal, who knows?
