The Resort and Where It Sits
Fallsview Casino Resort stands on a cliff directly above Horseshoe Falls, looking straight out over the water. It has been operating without interruption since opening its doors on June 10, 2004. The official address is 6380 Fallsview Boulevard in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and the name fits the location. From the hotel tower, from some table areas, and from a solid portion of the rooms, the falls are in plain view. That panorama is packaged into the stay, and the property actually delivers it, not just in photos.
The entire complex covers close to 2.5 million square feet under one roof. Casino floor, hotel tower, restaurants, retail spaces, and convention halls all feed into the same internal corridors. A glass walkway links Fallsview directly to Hilton Niagara Falls, a connection that was built into the original blueprint rather than added later. That scale and layout made Fallsview feel like a separate class when compared with Casino Niagara, the earlier OLG venue that stayed open nearby after 2004.
Who Owns and Runs the Place
Fallsview Casino Resort belongs to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. OLG is a provincial Crown agency, so ownership of the gaming activity and the responsibility to regulators sit with them. Since 2019, the daily running of the resort has been contracted out to Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment under a service agreement set for 21 years. That change brought in a seasoned international casino operator while leaving OLG in its role as owner in the background.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario acts as the regulator. AGCO is independent from OLG but still a provincial body, and it is the organization that signs off on rules, licensing, and compliance on site. On the player protection side, Fallsview and Casino Niagara share a responsible gambling accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council, with one published code covering both properties.

The Casino Floor
The casino floor runs around the clock, including statutory holidays, and does not shut down overnight. More than 3,200 slot machines are spread across the space, with different denominations and styles mixed through clusters. Typically between 110 and 130 table games operate at the same time, covering blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and a selection of poker-style tables. Tables tend to be grouped by type toward the central sections of the floor, which helps once you have walked it at least once.
Someone walking in for the first time usually starts by grabbing a printed floor map at the main entrance. The Players Advantage Club card is worth taking care of early as well. It is the loyalty program card for both slots and tables, tracking play and awarding points. Those points can later be moved toward food bills, hotel nights, or tickets to events inside the resort.
A first pass through the floor often looks something like this:
- Come in through the main Fallsview Boulevard doors and stop at the Players Advantage Club desk to register for a card.
- Present a valid government-issued photo ID, since Ontario rules require age to be verified before play.
- Look over the floor map for the area you want to start in, rather than walking blindly.
- For slots, load your machine with cash or a ticket, then insert the Players Advantage Club card before pressing spin.
- For tables, find an open seat, check the minimum bet on the small sign, and exchange your cash for chips with the dealer.
- When you are done on slots, use the Ticket Out function, then swap the printed voucher for cash at a cage or at one of the automated kiosks.
- To use your accumulated points, head back to the Players Advantage Club booth on the main level and ask what they cover.
One practical piece that applies here and in other casinos: if you are new to table games, standing back and watching a few hands usually teaches more than any written overview. The pace, how bets are placed, how players behave - the table itself sets the pattern.
Hotel, Rooms, and Booking
The hotel tower rises directly from above the casino floor and holds 372 rooms in total. Rooms with a Fallsview designation look straight toward the falls from higher floors, which is the main premium. A daily resort fee of $19.99 plus tax is charged on all retail reservations and appears on the bill at checkout instead of at the booking step.

Inside the site, move to the Resort Hotel area, plug in your planned check-in and check-out dates, then choose the room type that fits - standard room, Fallsview-facing room, or one of the suites. Before you enter payment, the system shows how the rate is broken down. The cancellation policy also appears on the confirmation step and is worth reading in full before you press the final button.
