Overview

Caesars Windsor sits on the Detroit River with the American skyline filling the window, which gives it the most striking urban outlook of any casino hotel in Canada. Two hotel towers hold roughly 758 rooms between them, and the complex includes a 5,000-seat arena that programmes the kind of touring acts a city of this size would not otherwise see.

The casino floor runs to about 100,000 square feet with some 2,000 slot machines and 75 gaming tables. The pit is the strongest part of the property: a wide blackjack spread, an active poker room and table minimums that stay accessible mid-week. A large share of the room is cross-border traffic, which keeps weekend evenings busy and the dealer roster deep.

The resort side is more corporate than characterful — this is a Caesars property and it looks like one — but the execution is consistent. Rooms are large, the spa is proper, and the Augustus tower rooms facing the river are among the better casino hotel rooms in the country.

The casino floor

Slots & slot machines
Roughly 2,000 machines, with a strong bank of high-limit reels and a good spread of progressive jackpot terminals. Denominations run from a penny upward.
Table games
About 75 tables. Blackjack dominates, with roulette, baccarat, craps and several card games alongside. Minimums are lower mid-week than anything comparable in Niagara.
Poker room
A busy dedicated poker room running Texas Hold'em cash games daily and regular tournaments with professional dealers.
Sportsbook
A sportsbook lounge with a screen wall, table seating and its own bar service.
Live casino
Live dealer tables throughout the pit, with electronic table terminals near the slot banks.
High rollers & VIP
A high-limit gaming salon with its own cage and host team, plus dedicated 24/7 VIP service and suite access for qualifying players.

Machine and table counts are approximate and were last checked in June 2026. Licensed gaming in Ontario is overseen by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

Hotel & resort

The Augustus and Forum towers hold roughly 758 rooms. Augustus is the newer and better of the two — larger rooms, better bathrooms and the river-facing views that make the property. There is a full spa, a good-sized pool and enough conference space that the hotel functions as a business venue during the week and a leisure one at weekends.

On site

  • 758 rooms and suites in two towers
  • Full spa and salon
  • Indoor pool and fitness centre
  • 5,000-seat Colosseum arena
  • Conference and meeting space
  • River-facing terrace and restaurants

Dining

Neros Steakhouse
The property's serious room, with a river view and a wine list to match.
Artist Café
All-day dining, and the most reliable breakfast in the complex.
Legends Sports Bar
Screens, a long bar and the natural landing spot on a game night.
Market Buffet
Large, busy at weekends, and better than the format usually manages.

Entertainment

The Colosseum is the reason a lot of people book here at all: 5,000 seats, a serious touring calendar and a room small enough that the back row still sees something. Comedy, concerts and boxing all appear on the schedule, and tickets are sold to the general public independently of the casino floor.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Best urban view of any Canadian casino hotel
  • Strong pit with an active poker room and reachable minimums
  • The Colosseum brings genuinely good touring acts
  • Augustus tower rooms punch above the category

What does not

  • Corporate atmosphere with little local character
  • Event nights fill the parking garage and the restaurants at once
  • Windsor itself gives you less to do than Niagara or Vancouver

Verdict

8.6 editorial score out of 10
Windsor, Ontario

The most complete casino hotel in Ontario after Fallsview, and arguably the better one for anyone who cares more about the tables and the arena than about the view of a waterfall. Book the Augustus tower, aim for a show night, and eat at Neros once.
