Seneca Niagara is a large casino hotel located in Niagara Falls, New York, within walking distance of the famous falls. Seneca Niagara was the second casino constructed in New York State, following in the footsteps of the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in the central part of the state, which broke the ground for Indian casinos in New York a few years earlier.
Like the Turning Stone, this is a very big and popular casino, set up to rival the two large casinos on the Canadian side of the falls, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Seneca Niagara originally had 82,000 square feet of gaming space, a nice size for a casino, but since then, their casino been expanded to 147,000 square feet, now making them one of the largest casinos in the United States.
Niagara Falls, NY, is a small city with a population of only about 50,000, but the falls do bring plenty of tourists and this casino brings plenty of people to the city to gamble as well. The 26 story building dominates the city’s skyline and features the largest hotel in the state outside of Manhattan, and is also the 10th tallest building in Upstate New York.

This complex was built in 2002, on the site of the former Niagara Falls Convention and Civic Center. Niagara Falls’ population had been in decline and today has less than half of the population they had at their peak, due to a loss of industry, and the city’s economy was struggling, so the building of a new, large casino, was certainly met with favor.
Seneca Niagara is an Indian owned casino though so they didn’t need permission from the authorities to build it, and the main idea here was to advance the economic standing of the Seneca Nation of New York, who have several other gambling interests, including two other casinos in the state. They also have a small gambling operation in Cuba as well, in addition to other business interests, including selling their own brand of cigarettes, Native Pride.
So the Seneca Nation is definitely ambitious and the Seneca Niagara is surely an ambitious project, but it has been successful for them and now stand as the centerpiece of their gambling business. Federal laws permit Indian tribes to operate casinos, in spite of what states may want, and they have taken full advantage of this, and serve many guests who come to Niagara Falls, NY, not only to enjoy the fabulous natural scenery but also to do a lot of gambling.
