Celebrate Fallsview Casino’s 20th anniversary with a magnificent event featuring Michael Bublé, the adored international superstar!
Renowned Canadian crooner Michael Bublé is set to headline Niagara Fallsview Casino’s 20th-anniversary festivities on June 21, 2024. Returning to Niagara Falls for the special night, Bublé will now perform at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino for the first time.
Bublé, who has sold over 75 million records worldwide and received numerous honors, including 5 GRAMMY Awards and 15 JUNO Awards, is poised to make this celebration really exceptional. With six multi-platinum albums and over 14 billion streams worldwide, his commitment to preserving the classics shines through. Bublé’s distinct style, vocal ability, and love of timeless songs have been on display for the past 20 years.
Bublé’s history with Fallsview dates back to 2006 when he performed two sold-out shows at the Avalon Theatre. During the same year, he participated in the charity concert “David Foster & Friends,” held at the Avalon, contributing to raising $3.3 million for families in need of life-saving organ transplants. The star-studded night also featured Andrew Bocelli, Paul Anka, and Babyface.
Hailing from Burnaby, B.C., Bublé stands as one of Canada’s most successful pop crooners. Bublé’s relentless efforts and enthusiasm make every night an exceptional experience, whether it’s standards, pop, swing, jazz, R&B or comedy.
Cathy Price, vice-president of marketing at Niagara Casinos, expressed that having Michael Bublé perform is the perfect way to celebrate Fallsview’s two decades of success.
Fallsview Casino initially opened its doors on June 8, 2004, with a grand VIP night featuring Paul Anka as the first performer at the 1,500-seat Avalon Theatre. Two days later, on June 10, the casino opened to the public, marking the beginning of its 20-year journey.
The OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino opened more recently in 2022, serving as a second concert venue for the casino with a 1,500-seat capacity, expanding the performance and event offerings.
Beyond his musical achievements, Bublé has maintained a prominent presence on Canadian and U.S. television screens for two decades. Notably, he appeared as a guest judge on a special “Dancing with the Stars” episode dedicated to him in 2022 and stars in commercials for Bubly Sparkling Water.
Bublé’s performance is part of a series of events throughout June, commemorating Fallsview Casino’s remarkable 20-year milestone.
Join in the festivities as he sings his heart out, delivering romantic ballads, humorous, and dance-worthy tunes for a memorable night in the Falls. Tickets for Michael Bublé’s concert will be available for purchase starting Friday at 10 a.m. on www.ticketmaster.ca.

Lucky element: gold or silver
The Year of the Dragon brings favorable prospects for Rats. Lucky stars will shine on their careers, offering opportunities for promotions and advancement. Leadership roles are within reach, particularly in law enforcement. However, there are cursed stars that may lead to accidents, so caution is advised, especially when participating in high-risk adventure sports.
Ox:
Lucky numbers: 2, 7
Lucky color: red
Lucky element: ruby
Oxen may face some misunderstandings and gossip in the Year of the Dragon, as they clash with the guardian deity. However, their hard work will yield rewards, allowing them to make progress towards their goals. Lucky stars will help them overcome obstacles, but they should be cautious of their health and be mindful of accidents. Renovating their homes can help balance the negative energy.
Tiger:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: black
Lucky element: pearl
Tigers can expect a prosperous year in terms of wealth. Lucky stars will bring opportunities for promotions, pay rises, and the opening of new markets for entrepreneurs. Business travel will enhance their luck. However, cursed stars may lead to accidents, so it’s advisable to obtain travel insurance before going abroad.
Rabbit:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: blue
Lucky element: sapphire
The Year of the Dragon may present challenges for Rabbits in terms of networking and interpersonal relationships. Unlucky stars will require them to rely on their own abilities and caution. Accidents leading to injuries are a potential risk, so giving blood or visiting the dentist can help balance the negative energy.
Dragon:
Lucky numbers: 2, 7
Lucky color: white
Lucky element: rose gold
Dragons may face some bumps ahead as they offend two different tai sui in 2024. However, auspicious events such as marriage, starting a family, buying property, or initiating a business can boost their luck. A lucky star will support promotions and career progression. Cursed stars may affect health and lead to accidents, but giving blood or visiting the dentist in specific lunar months can mitigate these challenges.
Snake:
Lucky numbers: 3, 8
Lucky color: green
Lucky element: jade
The Year of the Dragon brings opportunities for learning and further education for Snakes. This is a favorable time to pursue courses or hobbies of interest. Love is also in the air for single Snakes, as they may meet their partners this year. Career advancement is likely, especially for those working in male-dominated industries or in clerical and white-collar jobs. However, cursed stars may create challenges in health and relationships, emphasizing the need for effective communication with partners.
Horse:
Lucky numbers: 3, 8
Lucky color: light green
Lucky element: emerald
Horses can expand their horizons and consider attending seminars or pursuing further education in the Year of the Dragon. Lucky stars will help them overcome obstacles, but caution is advised in high-risk water sports. Cursed stars may affect the home and interpersonal relationships, which can be balanced by following the Buddhist tradition of being vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar calendar month.
Sheep:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: gold
Lucky element: platinum
Sheep will reap the rewards of their efforts in the Year of the Dragon. It’s a time to work towards their goals, and their lucky star will assist them in wealth accumulation.

Lucky color: yellow
Lucky element: diamond
Monkeys can expect a favorable year, especially in partnerships, collaborations, and networking. Career progression is also on the horizon, with potential raises and promotions.

Rooster:
Lucky numbers: 5, 10
Lucky color: brown
Lucky element: yellow crystal
Roosters match with the guardian deity in the Year of the Dragon, bringing numerous opportunities through networking and the assistance of benefactors. Lucky stars will help overcome obstacles, while a small unlucky star may impact finances. A strategy to balance this is to make a big-ticket purchase, symbolizing a “happy financial loss.” Romance is in the air, but relationships may be impermanent.
Dog:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: black
Lucky element: onyx
Dogs may face challenges as they conflict with the guardian deity. Auspicious events such as marriage, starting a family, buying property, or initiating a business can wash away the bad luck. Attending weddings and parties can boost their luck. Unfortunately, Dogs do not have lucky stars to rely on, so self-reliance is crucial. Cursed stars may affect finances, and caution is advised in aggressive investments. Health and home may also be affected, but giving blood or visiting the dentist in specific lunar months can help balance the energy.
Pig:
Lucky numbers: 4, 9
Lucky color: purple
Lucky element: carnelian
Pigs can look forward to a year of networking, relationships, wealth, and career advancements. Long-term goals will be achieved, and romance is in the air, making it an ideal time to attend social events. However, Pigs may be absent-minded this year, so travel insurance is recommended for any trips abroad. Volatility is a possibility, so risk appetite should be considered when making investments.
These predictions offer a glimpse into what the Year of the Dragon holds for each zodiac sign. While the influence of the Wood Dragon may bring both opportunities and challenges, it’s important to remember that our actions and choices ultimately shape our destiny. By being aware of the potential obstacles and leveraging the lucky stars, we can navigate the year with confidence and embrace the transformations and growth that await us.
Why is the Dragon the Most Popular Sign in the Chinese Zodiac?
The Dragon holds a special place in Chinese culture as a mythical, auspicious, and supreme creature. In ancient times, Dragons were believed to have the power to control wind and rain, soar through the skies, and turn rivers and seas. They were seen as the benefactors of farming and were associated with prosperity and wealth. Emperors were regarded as real Dragons, and the Chinese people were considered descendants of Dragons. To honor their dignity and divinity, the Dragon was included in the Chinese zodiac, becoming the most popular zodiac animal in China. Many Chinese couples choose to have a baby in a Dragon year, hoping for a lucky and successful child.
