Ceasars windsor has a great casino and the windsor riverfront is nice, but other than that nothing to do there unless you want to take VIA to toronto while you are there. You also have to deal with crossing the border. If you can go when there is an event, the collosium is reaely nice.

Cleveland's casino wasn't that impressive to me. The ritz carlton is a great hotel though and there are other things to do in Cleveland like rock and roll hall of fame and the science museum.
Thanks, appreciate the advice.

The smoke-free part is certainly appealing and I don't drink and gamble - playing slots is stupid enough without doing it drunk

Maybe 2 nights in Cleveland and 1 in Windsor (it will be over a weekend) will be the way to go. Especially since on the Sunday Windsor has a 10x RCs for Diamonds.
I will have a rental car - how is the crossing from Detroit? Or would I be better off leaving the car behind and just getting the tunnel bus that I believe goes very close to Caesars?
I've never been to Niagara Falls but after a few days of gambling that might be too dangerous a sidetrip. It looks like a long return trip from either Windsor or Cleveland too.
