Four-Star Hilton with Rooftop Restaurant Overlooking Niagara Falls

Every day, about 200 billion liters of water surge over Canada's Horseshoe Falls, the largest of Niagara’s three waterfalls. Though impressive, statistics fail to capture the cascade’s full power: at ground level, there's a thunderous roar, and a massive cloud of mist rises high above the brink. From a higher vantage point at the four-star Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls/Fallsview, you can see the whole amazing show.

Each of the hotel's guest rooms features expansive views of either Niagara Falls or the city, but the view from the 33rd-floor Watermark Restaurant is arguably the best in town. Between bites of prime rib or roast rack of lamb, you can gaze down on Horseshoe Falls and speculate on the province's astronomical water bill.

This Groupon also includes a credit at Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse, where you can select from 12 different cuts of meat. Those who choose Options 3 or 4 receive yet another credit to taste authentic Italian food at Romano’s Macaroni Grill.

A glass walkway connects the hotel to the Fallsview Casino, where you can try your luck at 150 gaming tables and 3,000 slot machines. The casino's Avalon Ballroom has played host to Ringo Starr, Jay Leno, Diana Ross, and several other major acts. Check out upcoming performers here. For a more mellow experience, make use of the wine tastings and tours at Peller Estates and Trius Winery at Hillebrand included with this Getaway.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls—considered by many to be one of the world’s seven natural wonders—water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddles the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario. The Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of the photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls — visitors board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps away from the cascading water.

A 10-minute walk will bring you to the neon glow of the Clifton Hill neighborhood. Its Fallsview Boulevard has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos, indoor water parks, restaurants, and soggy Elvis impersonators.
