Tourisme Casino Atlantic City

Up the ante on your next Buffalo Niagara trip! There are two casinos in Erie and Niagara Counties run by the Seneca Nation of Indians. In Buffalo, the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino is just steps from the Canalside and Cobblestone entertainment districts and complements other attractions downtown. Are table games your thing, or do you prefer playing slot machines? Take advantage of both in North Dakota’s Vegas-style casinos, where gaming experiences meet concerts and other live entertainment year-round. Several North Dakota casinos also offer fine dining, accommodations and shopping for authentic Native American goods. Click here for a list of all casinos in North Dakota.

Not only are these visitors great for generating local tax revenue, but they will also bring more sales revenue to surrounding restaurants, hotels and locally-owned small businesses. While many of our visitors will stay at the resort, there will be plenty who want to see what else Norfolk has to offer and will choose to book rooms at other hotels and explore other dining and entertainment options. Making Norfolk the premier destination in all of Hampton Roads will be a boon for the local economy and help elevate the City’s tourism reputation to its proper location at the top of the list!

Buffalo Philharmonic

As Buffalo’s cultural ambassador, the Grammy Award-winning Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under the leadership of music director JoAnn Falletta presents more than 120 Classics, Pops and Youth Concerts each year and reaches over 40,000 students (K-12) across all eight counties of Western New York. Since 1940, the orchestra’s permanent home has been Kleinhans Music Hall, a National Historic Site with an international reputation as one of the finest concert halls in the United States.

The BPO has toured widely across the United States and Canada including the Florida Friends Tour with JoAnn Falletta in March 2010, the first multi-city tour since the 1988 European tour. The BPO has been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall as a participant in the prestigious Spring for Music festival in 2013. This will be the orchestra’s 24th appearance at Carnegie Hall and its first since Music Director JoAnn Falletta led the orchestra in a much heralded appearance there in June 2004.
