Tip: This company offers day tours to Fallsview Casino and longer tours that require flying.
My mom was reminiscing about going down to Fallsview Casino years ago with a couple of her friends. All three of them don't drive, so they took a shuttle down from Pacific Mall, which is one of many pickup locations that you can choose from in the greater Toronto area.
She said that the bus was punctual. They did the first bus leaving Pacific Mall. It was the summertime and the bus was air-conditioned. My mom doesn't have a cell phone, so I never bothered asking if it had wifi.
She said that it was comfortable getting down there. Her tour package included the bus ride to and from the casino. There was also a deal where if you paid cash to load up a card to play the slots, you got the same amount to play for free.
It's funny. I don't think my mom did a ton of gambling. Although I worked in the gaming industry documenting ticket redemption kiosks for three years, I also have no interest gambling.
Like mother, like daughter.
She did hit the buffet and liked the carvery area the best. She enjoyed having a decent meal and chatting with her friends.
One word: Same!
They were told to meet at a specific area outside of the casino at their departure time. The driver made sure everyone was accounted for before he drove everyone back to Markham.
Although Safeway Tours is known for its shuttle service to and from Fallsview Casino, it also does longer tours. You can do a three-day tour that gets you to Ottawa and Montreal. There's also a seven-day tour to Las Vegas, San Diego, and Los Angeles. That tour includes air fare.
Maybe when I'm retired and don't feel like curating my own tour itinerary, I'd consider giving Safeway Tours a try. My mom had a good experience, so I trust that I will, too.
