romantic get away? My fiance and I are wanting to plan a trip to Niagara Falls and I need some pointers on which airport to fly into leaving from Texas and recommended hotels and what to do. I would love any decent honest answers.

I am not sure what airport you would fly into bc the hubby and I lived in Buffalo and would just drive across. I would def. stay on the Canadian side. The NY side is a rough town. Niagara falls is very touristy and VERY overpriced. There are two casinos (last time I went at least), which are a decent time, but also a way to spend money very quickly (especially if you are like me and know the least bit about gambling. I stick by the quarter machines). Also there are a bunch of little museums like the Ripley's believe it or not museum. We didn't see any are museums or anything...it was mosty things like Ripleys. There are a bunch of bars. Niagara Falls is VERY touristy (at least that was my opinion). The falls were not as impressive as we thought they would have been. Actually the first time that the hubby and I went we weren't sure if we were actually looking at "Niagara Falls." In my humble opinion, I would visit Montreal for a romantic getaway rather than Niagara Falls. Montreal is a bit more quaint with nice cobblestone streets. Visit Niagara Falls for your bachelor party. Oh, we stayed at the Sheraton Hotel overlooking Niagara Falls...they had VERY comfortable beds. We got a great rate on hotfares.com. As with most hotels in Niagara Falls you'll pay extra for parking, but if you're not renting a car that won't be a problem. Taxis are fairly easy to come by.

You can fly into Buffalo.
I agree the better attractions are on the Canadian side but there are some on the NY side as well. The poker room on the American side is better.
