I went to the Niagra Falls USA casino – really disgusting with the cigarette smoke. I don’t remember A.C. like that. Not that I gamble or even buy lottery tix but need to see these places while in town. Unfortunately, people/tourists still almost all go to canadian side for just about everything else. I don’t think the USA casino has done anything for city of NiagraFalls, NY
Funniest casino experience I ever had was In Niagra Falls, on the Canadian side. Anyone who has been to Niagra Falls knows that it has become something of a run-down tourist spot. In order to turn things around, the Canadian government incentivized one of the big casino chains (Hyatt, I think, but I forgot) to drop $1 billion on a new casino complex and indeed it is first-class. Unfortunately, however, it is empty most of the time, and the hotel has lost a fortune on it. Why? Well, soon after the hotel was built the provincial government (the most politically-correct organization in the world) passed two laws: no smoking in the casino, and no free booze. Well, telling gamblers that they can’t light up and no free booze is an insult.
At the same time, the Seneca Indians built a casino on the Niagra, New York side, at a far lower cost. They made it be known to all the gamblers: you can smoke your brains out, and there’s plenty of booze on us.
went to see Black Swan other night. pretty disburbing to watch.
Also rented The Kids are Alright over wkend. Quite enjoyable. One line in movie character says bought something a flea market in Brooklyn ( movie takes place in California) or at least that is what I thought I heard.
Benson, it’s Niagara. It has three “a”s, unlike Viagra.
Aren’t all the casinos in the US smoke free now??? Do they have special smoking rooms/floors???

“no smoking in the casino, and no free booze.”
BIG mistake.
WOW…I just realized I still have my Tamiflu from a year ago when the Swine Flu was supposed to hit.

On another note, I am working with Norman Calvo of Universal Mortgage for my condo purchase and so far he is doing an outstanding job.
Yes, CGar, but when they are all constantly returning with new husbands it becomes annoying.
