Fallsview, Rama, Or Niagara?


Recommended Posts

Heading up to Toronto for a conference this week and was interested in playing some cards at some point. From what I can tell, driving down to the Niagara area is my best bet - is this the case? Perhaps you can help me out here. I would prefer going to the place that offers all three of the below, but I am alright with driving down for a 3-5 hour cash session then back to Toronto.

  1. spreads 1/2 NL or PLO
  2. has a nightly tourney with $100 buy-in or less
  3. offers a room discount for poker players

closest for nl is Niagara falls 70 minute drive or less, 3 casino's 2 on the Canadian side fallsview and niagara. they have sng tournaments small, 1 table waiting list usuallyfallswview better entertainment, food, and but tables are more pricey might be lucky for 1/2 waiting list can be long you can call the casino 90 minutes before and get placed on the list. Niagara older of the 2, has a great sports bar and betting area. Older room, but more tables, more donkeys :club: , Seneca is on the USA side, that means crossing the border, room is good, better choice of games and tournaments.Rama 90 minutes drive, been a while since I been there room okay. there are the racetrack or smaller casino like PortPerry 40 minutes , Brantford but they only offer limit only. both are 45 minute drives. phone # to both falls casino 1-877-376-9722 you can ask for the poker roomshttp://www.fallsviewcasinoresort.com/gaming/poker.aspxhttp://www.fallsviewcasinoresort.com/Hotel link, look here for cheap bargains http://www.tourismniagara.com/gateway_niagara.htmlif you want 5 * or better than stay at the casino or Hilton, across the street3*+ near casino and cheaper Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn and best western both old but 2 minutes from the door (across the street at corner ) if you stay near the casino there are 3 of each there, make sure you get the ones by the casinoYou want to be around Fallsview ave or Murry Hill for new, For old, around Victoria ave, Clifton Hill As far as staying at the casino it self it's a little expensive but there are bargains very close by across the street or just down a block or 2If you want more info just PM me

windsor is better just saying from experience... it hink distence would be abt sameish
Windsor would be about 3-3 1/2 hours from Toronto. Fallsview is the ticket in this situation,

Absolutely Niagara or Fallsview...but it is IMPERATIVE to call on your way if your going in the evening or you'll be surprised (and more than alittle saddened) to see a waiting list quite long....could wait 2-3 hours plus in some instances. Call and CHECK IN as soon as you arrive...this will give you the best shot of getting on in a timely fashion.Enjoy your stay. :club:

Windsor is unfortunately that far. I've never actually played at Fallsview, because I've never had money when I went to Niagra >.> Not exactly sounding appealing now, though.

Rose's initial post translated:"I have a strong personal connection with you."Sounds like OP has it made!
Not lolRose plays at both casino's that's why and lived in the falls for 25 yearsAlso played Rama, Brantford and Windsor and PSU I been to Windsor many times and Fallsview is the nicer of the 2. but there poker room is not bad, just saying maybe it was you. Also been to Seneca on the US side it's a crappy casino but great poker room and tournament structure.Prefer Seneca of the 3 casino's poker rooms but since I play mostly on the Canadian side Niagara usually then sometimes Fallsview.

Fallsview it's nice but lots of tourists and it caters to more pricey games. Dealers are okay more friendly at Niagara, also maybe Niagara is old but love the sports bar image. Cheaper games there too. Love the fish, played against a Sports announcer from TSN and caused him to go broke in 2 hands :club: bad player, but great sports caster.

Too busy dressing down McChrystal...but no, giving a talk at the Bachelier Finance Society conference. Hopefully the anarchists protesting the G20 steer clear of it. Going to check out Niagara Wednesday night I think. If anyone's going to be there, send me a PM
