Niagara's entertainment scene continues to grow and expand as it develops into one of North America's premier destinations.

Two casinos, located in the heart of Niagara's tourism area offer an array of entertainment in addition to the excitement of the gaming floors. Tony Bennett, Paul Anka and Jessica Simpson are just a few of the big names that regularly perform at the Avalon Ballroom to thousands of fans.

Greg Frewin Las Vegas Style Dinner Magic Show is fantastic - just ask the thousands of visitors each year who return again and again to witness some of the wildest magic imaginable. Wonderful hospitality, ring side seats and a great menu make a night at Greg Frewin a night to remember.

In true Canadian style, Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Show is a hilarious, live performance that continues to get rave reviews from visitors and residents alike. A talented, versatile cast keeps the action going in this ever changing performance that appeals to both the young and old.

Join King Henry and one of his wives at a raucous, festive feast where you become part of the cast. Let the wine flow and enjoy the repast of days gone by with a bevy of beautiful wenches. Minstrals will entertain you and get you to sing along as the Tudor days of yore come to life before your very eyes at The Buttery Restaurant.

One cannot mention Niagara on the Lake without paying tribute to one of the finest live theatres in North America, the renowned Shaw Festival Theatre. 2009 again brings an array of both famous and infamous works, including two productions of George Bernard Shaw, The Devil's Disciple and In Good King Charles's Golden Days. In addition, Noel Coward, Eugene O'Neil and John Osbourne works are presented in the finest style of the Shaw Festival Company. Over 10 productions will fill the play bill from April to November 2009. If you can, take in a play at the Festival - you won't be sorry.

Jackson Triggs Vintners' open air amphitheatre presents a wonderful performing arts series each July through September. Sip a glass of the fruit of the vine while taking in great entertainment - all right in the vineyard.

In addition to scheduled entertainment, Niagara is considered one of the best when it comes to night clubbing and dancing. The variety of first class hotels means that lounges are alive with music and entertainment most nights of the week. If your taste runs to intimate little corners with a jazz musician playing softly in the background or a more lively exhuberant evening, Niagara has it all.
