Casino Tower, Steel observation tower in Niagara Falls, Canada
Casino Tower is a steel observation structure in Niagara Falls topped with white paneling and illuminated LED lettering on its metal frame. Two glass elevators carry visitors up to viewing decks that offer perspectives of the cascading water and surrounding landscape.
The structure opened in June 1964 as Oneida Tower, named after a nearby silverware factory that was a major local employer. It was later renamed to reflect its current use as a casino, marking the area's shift toward gaming entertainment.
The tower transformed from an observation point to a casino landmark, reflecting the evolution of Niagara Falls entertainment district.
The best time to visit is during daylight hours when light conditions optimize views of the falls and surrounding cityscape. The elevators provide access to viewing areas distributed across multiple levels, so allow time to explore the different perspectives available.
The steel frame construction advanced at six feet per day during the 1964 tourist season, setting records for rapid tower development.
