Casino Niagara, by Clifton Hill
This page covers Casino Niagara for readers starting from Dundas. It explains the room's location, its opening date, and the hours for each part of the floor. It also covers the entry, parking and shuttle details worth knowing before the longer trip east.
Part 1
Worth the trip from Dundas?
The nearest casino evening from Dundas is on Highway 5, at Elements Casino Flamboro beside the harness track. Casino Niagara is a different proposition. The room is 74.2 km east-southeast of central Dundas, a straight-line figure rather than a road distance. Flamboro is 6.8 km northwest by the same measure.
The address is 5705 Falls Ave, Niagara Falls, right beside Clifton Hill. Fallsview Casino Resort is roughly 1.4 km off, again measured as a straight line. The two rooms are close enough to share a shuttle, covered below. Whether the trip pays off depends on what the evening is for.
This room has outlasted its original plan. Opening on December 9, 1996, Casino Niagara became the second casino in Ontario. The original plan treated it as a temporary facility, to serve until Fallsview was built. The owner is OLG; Mohegan has operated it under a 21-year agreement since June 11, 2019.

Part 2
Floor and hours around the clock
Hours are the simple part here. Casino Niagara has no closing hour and no closed day, holidays included. Electronic table games and slots can be played at any hour.
Live table games keep shorter hours, running from noon to 3:45 a.m. daily. Anyone planning a late hand at a live table should keep that cut-off in mind.
Poker has its own room. Players can call (905) 353-7000 to join the wait list up to 90 minutes before arriving. Sports bettors will find a sportsbook at the LEV2L Sportsbar.
Part 3
Entry, parking and the Momentum card
Entry rules cover the whole property, not just the gaming floor. Everyone coming in, including for a meal at one of the dining spots, must be 19 or older. Kids may not enter any part of the property. Guests who seem under 30 should expect security to ask for ID. Anyone appearing 21 or younger needs two pieces, and these must be valid government-issued photo ID.
Parking is on-site and self-serve, at rates that change. Momentum members can get it complimentary, based on their rated play. Momentum is Mohegan's rewards card, shared with Fallsview. Signing up costs nothing for anyone 19 or older; bring government-issued photo ID to Casino Guest Services at either property. The same card covers the free shuttle to Fallsview, and partner hotel key cards work too.

Questions
Can children come in for a meal at Casino Niagara?
Children cannot come in, even for a meal. Everyone entering the property, dining spots included, must be 19 or older. Expect ID checks for anyone who looks under 30.
How does the poker wait list work?
Players call (905) 353-7000 to join the wait list. The call can be made up to 90 minutes before arriving. From Dundas, that means part of the trip east can overlap with time on the list.
