I've read online that the drinking and gambling age in Niagra falls is 19. I was wondering how strictly that's enforced- my sister is the only one under 19 in my family, and the rest of us would like to drink and gamble at some point during the trip, but we obviously don't want to leave her out of the plans. You must be 19 to enter a casino everywhere in Canada except Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec where the admissible age is 18. This age requirement similarly applies to entrance to the restaurants and theatres within casinos. 04 of 06 Destination and Resort Casinos.

The Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort (commonly known as Fallsview Casino) is a resort casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It opened publicly on June 10, 2004. The $1 billion complex overlooks the Horseshoe Falls and is one of the most prominent features of the Niagara skyline. The site was once the transformer station building for the Ontario Power Company at the foot of Horseshoe Falls. It was also occupied by the Canadian Pacific Railway Montrose Subdivision. The complex is owned by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. As of June 2019, the casino's day-to-day operations are managed by Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment.[1]
History[edit]
Planning began in February 1998 – Falls Management Group L.C. selected to develop new casino resort.
Construction began in 2001 and the resort opened on June 10, 2004.[2]
Building[edit]
The east facade of the complex retains the walls of the terrace and front entrance of the transformer station built in 1904. The area where the transformers resided is now the Grand Hall convention halls.
At the main entrance is a water feature called 'The Teslatron'. During its first few years of functioning it featured nightly displays with added audio and lighting but over the past few years this has ceased. At street level there is a fountain that varies its height with the wind so as not to wet pedestrians and passing cars.
