I don't know Niagara Falls, but according to forumers, it seems a very unimaginative place and aside the falls, there is nothing else to see. I don't think gambling would help at all.

I'm not a gambler myself, but was just trying to think of more attractions that are symbiotic to visiting the Falls other then what they have now which isn't very much really.. Casinos were the easy answer.I was actually thinking of the shows that come with the Casinos.

Another large casino on the Canadian side beside Fallsview would likely be a good step, and better transportation links.
The problem with Niagara Falls is that while it’s a border location, about 80% of the attractions are on the Canadian side. Crossing the border might not seem like a big deal for a lot of people on this board, but the % of Americans without passports is pretty substantial. Just being on the wrong side of the river is going to be a big limiter.
Currently it acts as the gambling resort town a short distance away from Toronto, sort of how Atlantic City serves that for NYC and Philly. It’s going to have to really step it up to start attracting a wider audience.

Yes exactly!.That 5000 seat performance space will help for sure..Is the Falls really even an Atlantic City for Toronto right now though?..Yes to improving Transportation links.
