The history of the casinos on the Canadian side is interesting. Note that if you do not have either you will likely face significant questioning, particularly at the US border, but they still may allow you through. Not all states/provinces have the enhanced licenses available yet, but in Ontario and New York they are available for an extra fee over the standard license. All you need is a passport or an enhanced driver’s license with citizenship information embedded in the card. There is a short border crossing bridge that literally crosses right at the tourist areas on both sides. This is because of the superior views on the Canadian side – it is hard to see the falls from the US.Ĭrossing the border, despite what you may have heard, is very simple for citizens of either country. For those unfamiliar with the falls area, the Canadian side is far more built up, and the vast majority of the large hotels are located there. Two are on the Canadian side, and one is on the American side. Rather than any specific trip review, I will detail my experiences across several visits.

I am going to use this thread to review my experience with the two casinos in the Niagara Falls, Canada area, which I am quite familiar with.
