Design
Fallsview Casino Resort was designed by a joint venture of award-winning Zeidler Partnership and Bregman + Hamann Architects. The resort’s Belle Époque style, featuring stone and other natural materials, was created by Terry Dougall, founder of Dougall Design Associates, the firm responsible for such properties as Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, the MGM Grand, the Luxor, the Monte Carlo, the Venetian and the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.
The building has been designed in accordance with the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui.
The east façade of the turn-of-the-century hydro distributing station that once stood on the site has been integrated into the casino resort.
