MAY 2014 LIVE REGIONAL MUSICAL ACTS AT SENECA CASINOS NIAGARA FALLS and SALAMANCA, N.Y. – Seneca Casinos’ two resort properties in Western New York continue to offer guests some of the region’s best live entertainment on its main gaming floors during the weekends. STIR at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in Niagara Falls and Casino Bar at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel in Salamanca are the places to be for listening to high-energy musicians while enjoying drinks and gaming. STIR is located in the southwest corner of Seneca Niagara’s completely renovated main gaming floor and features a collection of sights, sounds and tastes that will thrill the senses. A massive 20- by 40-foot high-definition video wall with open views from across the gaming floor creates a focal point of activity and excitement. Casino Bar is located in the heart of Seneca Allegany’s gaming floor near the table games, and offers a vibrant gathering place for drinks and live entertainment. STIR will turn up the heat in May with the return of the STIR Dancers from the Las Vegas– based Blair Farrington Entertainment and Productions. The performances will make the already-exciting atmosphere absolutely electric on select Friday and Saturday nights. Three half-hour shows will take place each evening on May 16, 17, 23 and 24. In addition, a variety of new musical acts join the STIR lineup in May, including:
Dal Bouey – Beautiful, high-energy vocalist and choreographer from Detroit
Dianne Ryder Band – Mississauga, Ont.–based pop band
