NIAGARA FALLS — Niagara Falls Police say a Florida man who jumped to his death from the top floor of the Seneca Niagara Casino parking garage had been having “personal problems,” though. 287 reviews of Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino 'I've been here a few times so this is a composite review. Overall, it's fine but it can be hit and miss. Casino - very stingy slots. I play at a lot of places and I play for fun and entertainment.

An update on the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel
We are staying here tonight, 9/24/2009. Our printed directory, Jane Kenny's excellent 'Casino Camping - Guide to RV-Friendly Casinos - 4th Edition' indicated parking was available here and provided directions.
Those directions included getting off US-190 North at exit 21 onto the Robert Moses Parkway. Signs indicated that the road was closed to commercial traffic, but there were no height warnings, until we were already well committed on a corkscrew ramp, where a sign warned of 12'0' clearance.. We stopped on the shoulder and called the State Police for help. When the officer arrived, he asked how tall our rig was -- 13'0' -- and informed us that we would clear the overpass if we stayed in the left lane, and that semi-trailers routinely clear it at 13'6'. He did a traffic block behind us and we did clear the overpass with inches to spare. Bottom line, it is no problem for rigs 13' or under, just stay left.
Kenny states the RV parking is in the self-park lot off Falls Street, however this is out of date, The casino now wants RVs to park in the oversize lot, normally used by tour buses, at the northeast corner of the property. Access is from Niagara Street at the corner of John B. Day. Here is the Google Maps view:

There is one other rig with us here tonight, and at this writing several tour buses are in the lot as well.
On May 4, 2007 we went to Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. Although the security guard said that it was okay to park your RV in the back parking lot near the back fence, I wouldn't trust it. There was not enough room and it didn't look too safe to me.

Expansion[edit]
In February 2008, the Seneca Gaming Corp. announced the expansion of the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel Property. It will add more hotel rooms, and other amenities.[citation needed] It acquired Fallsville Splash Park, located next to the Seneca Niagara Casino, which was condemned by the State of New York and transferred to the Seneca Gaming Corporation. It was demolished for Phase 2 of expansion of the Niagara Falls casino.
Legal Issues[edit]
Adjacent properties owned by Seneca Gaming Corp.[edit]
Adjacent properties owned by the Seneca Gaming Corporation are not located on Seneca territory owned by the Nation, therefore it is technically illegal to put slot machines or provide for gambling. The Splash Park Property where Phase 2 of expansion is to take place is also located on non-sovereign land.
The former Convention Center is located on sovereign land, and the casino is operated by Gaming Corporation.
Taxing of non-sovereign adjacent properties owned by the Gaming Corporation[edit]
Use of the surrounding area adjacent to the Seneca Niagara Casino by the Seneca Nation for gaming has been the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed by attorney John Bartolomei in October 2010 on behalf of Fallsite LLC and residents who are angry over a 4% tax hike to be passed in 2011. The Seneca Niagara Casino is located on sovereign land owned by the Seneca Nation of Indians.

But, the land adjacent to the casino, including parking garages adjacent to Niagara St., the site of a former Pizza Hut on the corner of Niagara St. and John B. Daly Blvd., the Holiday Inn property on the corner of 3rd Street and Duggar Drive, the former Niagara Aerospace Museum in between 3rd and 4th Streets and Niagara Street and Wendel Way, the former E. Dent Lackey Plaza (now a parking lot) in between Wendel Way, Duggar Drive, 3rd Street and 4th Street, former private homes on 5th and 6th Streets, and the Splash Park Property on the corner of Falls Street and John B. Daly Blvd, are owned by the Seneca Gaming Corporation. The Seneca Gaming Corporation is non-sovereign and therefore taxable, but was left off the city tax rolls. If taxed, the corporation would be the largest payer of taxes in the City of Niagara Falls.[citation needed]
Other properties[edit]
The Seneca Nation operates other gaming casinos on its property in New York state:
