Niagara Falls is within a short distance.  It is a city filled with many attractions as well as North America’s most voluminous waterfalls.  Tourist attractions, including the world famous Maid of the Mist, are of great abundance and activities are offered to suit whatever your interest may be.  A widespread selection of restaurants and luxurious hotels coat the city and the two casino’s offer many forms of entertainment, including popular musical guests.
