    Thank you FP for the set list and link to review. If I wasn't excited before -- I am now !!!

    I can't imagine there being a dress code. No casino I've ever been to has had one. As long as there is cash in your pocket, I don't think they care what that pocket is attached to.

    Temps at that time of year average 79 F during the day and 59 F in the evenings, but it will be air conditioned as well so a light jacket could not hurt. I can't imagine anyone not feeling the "heat" while at the show!
    I know I will.

    I booked my hotel in Toronto - it's the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown. I had to make two separate bookings, of course. I could hardly leave the room unattended for two nights.

    I have never seen Niagara Falls so I'm looking forward to that too. As far as the shows go, this is such a rare event as I discovered when I looked up the Frey Concert Reviews thread, that we must make the most of it.

    The two waterfalls at Niagara Falls will send off a lot of mist both day and night, and a warm and waterproofed jacket for wet and chilly air coudn't hurt. Neither could packing some long-sleeved garments, or maybe even an acrylic sweater, in case you can feel the cold.
    A waterproofed windbreaker could be a lightweight all-purpose light-rain cover for sightseeing at the Falls, too.

    Oh, and there's a steady gusting wind along the waterfronts and Niagara Falls is usually a little cool and damp with water spray when you're outdoors, no matter what the degrees are on the thermometer!


    If your're going to sightsee near the falls during the daytime, to take a boat excursion, for example, or to walk near the tourist views of the falls--Autumn-weather garments, with waterproofed and windbreaking overgarments (coats, jackets, sweaters), are about what it would take to stay warm. Most of the scenic views of Niagara Falls are from the sides of high bluffs, and the winds across that altitude make you feel cold. You could be blown along by the wind walking along the tourist paths.

    Most importantly--SHOES--no slippery-to-walk-in SHOES--instead, you'd want to pack a pair of often-worn athletic shoes with rubber soles--This is for touring scenic land areas around the falls outdoors--so that you don't slip(!!!)--not for being indoors at the show in the Fallsview Casino--indoors is indoors.

    A massive amount of water goes over Niagara Falls, both at the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the border, and at the American Falls on the American side of the border. It's hard to anticipate the degree, the weight, and the force of that water. The tourist souvenir shops are on the Canadian side--the side with the Fallsview Casino.

    Well gals, as much as I'd love to meet all of you (and see Glenn) I don't think I'll make it. Now I have to have a root canal on my tooth this Friday. This was just kind of the icing on the cake. Too much going on and too expensive.

    I'm so excited for you! That must be so thrilling, to know that you are flying in a few weeks to the Niagara Falls for a Glenn Frey concert !

    Good advice here Lisa.

    It was September when my DH and I went to the falls and I was out in shorts with a t-shirt /vest or light blouse during the day and jeans or light trousers in the evening and a light jacket. Still was warm enough then to sit outside at the HRC to eat too, although they did have their patio heaters on.

    If you have never been before, it is well worth doing the tourist bits. The Maid In The Mist boat and the tunnels. We have the boat ride on video (seemed a good idea at the time lol), and also where the water goes over the falls. The force and noise is amazing and almost mesmerising. I still have my plastic coats from the MITM boat ride and from thetunnels too. I took them to Hop Farm in case of rain. Well it was Canada day on July 1st.

    So exciting that so many of you are going. Makes me wish I could go but unless we win the Euromillions lottery this weekend (£166 million rolled over for a couple of weeks now,) it won't happen. But I am excited for all of you and hope you have a fantastic time in Niagara and more importantly at the concert. You all seem to be so close to the stage that you could almost sit on Glenn's lap.

    Good luck with that root canal, Brooke. I find that the worst part of having one is spending all that time in the dentist's chair with my small mouth open. I don't find that there is any pain. Not as bad as everyone says. I've had a number of them. Luckily I have dental coverage.
