We normally stay at a B&B in Niagara Falls with free parking. This time we are staying in NOTL but will want to visit the falls. I know there is cheap parking up near the skylon tower, but I also heard that we can park for free at the Fallsview Casino if we get and use the Players Advantage Card? Does anyone know if this is still true and if there is an amount you need to gamble to get this free parking? Thanks.

That doesn't really specify how much you need to gamble. We were in Vegas last month and only got $1.20 back on our Players Card.

Hi Amelie:
The casino used to offer free parking to anyone with a PAC card, however this is no longer the case. You must gamble so much in order to get parking "free" now. I am not sure how much you must spend at the games tables but apparently from what I have heard it is a substantial amount.

However so far this summer most places around the new casino are offering parking for $4 - $5.00 per day including the Skylon and the Fallsview Casino. Hope this info helps.
Have a great time in Niagara.
regards,
Lynn

Thanks Lynn,
That does help us to know what to expect!

To question a bit further, we are staying at the Embassy Suites which I hear charges $20 a day for parking. Can I park overnight at the Casino? Will it still be $5? Thanks. so much.

When you enter the parking garage at Fallsview Casino there is no ticket given or machine that requires you to check in so I am not sure if they monitor how long cars are left or where the occupants of the car go or if they have luggage with them etc. There are however overhead cameras everywhere so you are always under surveillance. (it is a casino after all) I am just not sure if there would be a problem with doing what you ask.
The parking fee at some of the hotels is outrageous. My mother recently stayed at a humble Days Inn in the Falls and was hit with a $20.00 fee.
By the way the rate at the parking lots lately has fluctuated between $5.00 and $20.00, the higher rate was to be found this past weekend which was a Civic holiday. The rate has since gone back down to $5.00 but it seems as though it depends on demand. The more the demand the higher the price.
If you do decide to park there the Embassy Suites is just a short walk away.

We parked at the very last parking lot from the falls for $5. There is a bus that takes you for a short ride and drops you off at the falls. It was better than paying $20 for the one across the street where you had to walk a long ways to get to the falls.

We're back. The parking at the Fallsview Casino was indeed $5, but the convenience of the valet service at Embassy
Suites was too good to pass up. We paid the $20 per day.

amelie

Thanks! We are going next weekend.

We parked at the old casino on day one, Casino Niagara, and it cost us $18 for a few hours. I was not happy, but this was a good location for walking over the Rainbow Bridge.

Day two we parked at the Fallsview Casino at night. No ticket upon entry, and when we left it was free. We did get a Players Advantage Card and we gambled (and lost $40) total.

Day three we parked at the IMAX lot (right across from the Fallsview Casino). There it is $5 per day or $1 an hour. I think that is a great deal.
