A great theater to see a concert! I was here for Nick Carter and had a third row center seat!
I will say, security sucks, and needs to be fixed. Everyone stands during BSB shows, which is fine. Nick came out and everyone stood up. There is a big space between the front row and the stage, so the whole front row moved up, which is fine. However, security did absolutely nothing, so everyone from the sides also went to fill that gap, and since I was in the center, went right in front of me. I was also directly in the middle of the row, so I couldn't get out. And to add to this, the one guy that was actually at Nick Carter's show not only moved out to the front, but stood front and center right in front of me. I am short, so I had the honor of seeing the back of his dumb head the entire show. Not to mention, what man stands in front of thousands of women at a Nick Carter show?? I realize that isn't the venue's issue, but I have pent up anger...
So, would I see a show here again? Yes, But security needs to fix this, and I will most definitely complain about it if I go back. People with worse seats than me should NEVER be able to go stand in the front row.

Yes, there are bad seats in the Avalon theatre. If you are told the seats have an obstructed view, do not buy them, the view of the stage is obstructed by a wall along the side of the VIP box on the balcony. They should not even sell these seats. The Josh Groban show was great, but the seating is uncomfortable and tight. Cannot wait to see the new theatre.

Nice intimate space to see shows. Sat on the left wing. View was okay, but would definitely try to be in the orchestra or balcony for beat experience.

We have seen several concerts in this venue and always top notch whether it be KC and the Sunshine Band or Tony Orlando! The staff are very helpful and friendly especially given my Mom is in her 80’s and helping us to our Front row seats. The acoustics and lighting are amazing and the prices very reasonable! We enjoyed seeing Tony Orlando at his final show at Fallsview as he is retiring from touring!

Located inside the new casino, I've been here a couple times. The latrines are tidy, as is the venue. Drinks are served with lids too!
The drinks are very expensive, $3.50 a bottle of water. Beer ten bucks!
Regardless, folks don't go here for inexpensive drinks.
The staff however are... intense. If someone turns on a phone they get an eye full of flashlight from the usher. Personally I didn't care, but if the person next to you pulls out a phone you'll get it!

We went to see the Christmas show recently. The show was long and rather boring. While there was lots of energetic dancing and singing there was no change up of other acts. There were childish animal characters that came out and danced. I almost crawled under the seat! Speaking of seating during covid. We sat shoulder to shoulder with strangers while there was an empty row between us and the next row and the balconies were empty. I would not recommend this show, which is too bad as other years it was fun.

Let me start off by saying i am a larger gentlemen and have been too many venues , arenas and sporting events and this by far is the most comfortable seating i ever experienced. I sat on the lower level and There is no arm rests between seats, more than enough leg room in front let alone a huge cushion to sit on and reat ur back against. This venue is alot smaller in size and i cant really see any seat being a bad one. This makes for a really personal experience. I will be attending many more events here now that i know the lay out!!! Well done to the design and layout teams!!!! There was only one bar once inside past check in, the line up was 50+ people long so we decided against drinking and just enjoyed out time and concert. Roughly 10 mins into the show alot of the crowd rushed the front of the stage, not sure if this is normal or not but i know if i was in one of maybe the first 8 rows i would of been upset because the view would of been blocked by the crowd in front of the stage. My wife and i sat roughly 14 rows back and the seats were amazing without the crowd in front blocking anything. I really enjoyed our concert and will be looking for more shows to attend in near future.

The show in the Avalon was Rodrigo and Gabriela Sun. July 2. We stayed for the initial 4 songs which were over-amplified, loud to the point of hurting our ears, with strobe lights that had us close our eyes for the 1st 20 minutes of the show. We left saving ourselves from a possible heart attack, stroke, vertigo or some other disability.

The Avalon Ballroom Theater is an amazing place to see dozens of great acts from the past or present. It holds about 1600 people and all seats are good. Best of all no one stands up in front of you to block your view which is a major pet peave of mine in recent years. Have seen Styx and Josh Groban there with Alice Cooper next in about a month. Great hotels nearby with a casino and great package deals. Definitely a great combination.

I just saw Josh Groban perform at this wonderful theatre. It provides such an intimate setting without a bad seat in the house. There are still screens strategically placed throughout the theatre, but that adds to the charm. The Avalon Ballroom Theatre more than exceeded my expectations, and I pray I shall return sooner rather than later.

Is the Avalon Ballroom Theatre Licensed to serve alcohol? Can you bring drinks into the theatre during a performance?
