Abstract

In this article, the commonly held belief that casinos automatically function as tourist attractions is questioned. The analysis suggests that while casinos do exhibit many of the characteristics of "typical" tourist attractions, they also differ in many ways. With the exception of the Windsor venue, Canadian casinos are not major tourist attractions.
