Fallsview Casino Resort sends 750 die-hard ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’ fans home happy
Screams erupt in resort’s Grand Hall as excited winners rip open their envelopes
NIAGARA FALLS, ON, April 30 /CNW/ – The enormous Grand Hall at Niagara
Fallsview Casino Resort filled with screams of joy Sunday afternoon as 750
lucky people each won a pair of tickets to see the popular daytime talk show
Live with Regis and Kelly when the show rolls into Niagara Falls, Canada, for
two tapings on May 22.
Fallsview gave the tickets away in an enormous public draw that saw
dedicated fans of the show’s hosts, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, line up at
the resort from the crack of dawn right up to the draw’s scheduled 3:30pm
start time.
“We knew there was going to be a lot of excitement over this draw, but I
don’t think anyone expected the kind of tremendous enthusiasm we saw in these
people,” said Steve Wolstenholme, General Manager, Niagara Fallsview Casino
Resort. “There were people actually crying for joy when they opened their
envelopes and discovered they had won.”
The level of enthusiasm in the hall was further amplified when a special
greeting to all the contestants from Philbin and Ripa was shown on several
large screens located throughout the room.
Veronika Kulchar of Orangeville, Ontario, was the first person in line,
arriving to take her place at 5:40am. She was also the first winner, walking
away with a pair of tickets to the 9am show. The next two people in line -
Bette and Jim Gare of St. Catharines, Ontario, scored the day’s first
double-header. Bette won a pair of tickets to the 9am show and Jim snagged a
pair for the 11am show.
“I’m certainly glad Ms. Kulchar and the Gares had so much luck,” said
Wolstenholme. “They were here just as the sun was rising over the Falls and
they left just as the sun was setting over our hotel tower.”
Live with Regis and Kelly will broadcast live coast-to-coast at 9am on
Monday, May 22, from The Niagara Parks Commission’s stunning Oakes Garden
Theatre in Niagara Falls, Canada. A second show will then be taped at 11am for
broadcast on Tuesday, May 23, at 9am. (All times EST.) To allow as many people
as possible to see the show, one live audience will see the show at 9am. Oakes
Garden Theatre will be cleared to allow a second audience to see the next
show.
The show was brought to Niagara Falls, Canada, thanks to a five-way
partnership that included Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort, The Niagara Parks
Commission, the City of Niagara Falls, Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Tourism
and the Canadian Tourism Commission.
Live last broadcast from Oakes Garden Theatre on September 9, 1996 -
exactly three months before Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort’s sister property,
Casino Niagara, opened its doors to the public for the first time right across
Falls Avenue from the meticulously-manicured outdoor amphitheatre.
Regis Philbin, the long-serving co-host of Live, will also be performing
his nightclub-style variety show with a 22-piece orchestra in Fallsview’s
Avalon Ballroom on May 21 – the night before his TV appearances in Oakes
Garden. This show is sold out.
