Actually the falls themselves are pretty well preserved on both sides - but down the gorge the Canadian side has definitely done a better job of catering to tourists (and bringing in the millions of dollars they carry with them). The American side has nothing any longer... the Rainbow Centre is a parking lot and crappy outlet mall. The Turtle closed years ago and I believe that the Arboretum is closed now as well. Most of the hotels are discount houses and the only restaurants to speak of are cheap "Denny's" knock-offs. Naigara Falls, N.Y. is dying slowly by small steps. The Canadian side has always had stuff to do: wax museums, the pyramid place and Skylon centers, Maple Leaf village and now several casinos.
