Gateway Casinos London at the Western Fair District on Dundas Street East - Gateway's London property with its slots, its table games and its restaurant, eight minutes from downtown - is the city's own casino night, and LondonLimo.net drives it at a fixed in-city planning figure of $40-60 for a sedan each way, with the return moved by text; the region's larger casinos are Caesars Windsor two hours west at $340-400 each way or by the hour, Fallsview and Casino Niagara two hours twenty east at $360-420, and Elements Casino Brantford an hour and a quarter. A group's Sprinter or party bus through the partner fleet does the Windsor or Niagara night by the hour with the chauffeur waiting, and the casino trips page has the service; this article is the casino night, casino by casino, with the arithmetic that makes the chauffeur cheaper than the designated driver's evening.
Gateway Casinos London, at the Western Fair
The casino sits in the Western Fair District's grounds on Dundas Street East, with its entrance and its lot off the district's Florence Street side, the slots and the tables inside, the restaurant and the bar, and the raceway's harness racing beside it on race nights; a London couple's evening is two fixed rates with the return moved by text, and a group's is an SUV by the hour. The venues page has the district and the OLG the province's rules.
| Casino | Where | From London | Sedan, one way | The group's day |

| Caesars Windsor | Windsor's riverfront, across from Detroit | 190 km, 2 h | $340-400 | A Sprinter by the hour, or the party bus |

LondonLimo.net planning ranges before HST; the destination pages have each city.
The London night, in detail
Dinner on the Row or at the market at 6:30, the casino's entrance at 8, the return from the same entrance at 11 moved by text - two fixed rates of $40-60 from most of the city, $50-70 from Byron or Lambeth - or an SUV by the hour for six friends who want the car through the evening; the neighbourhoods page has the drive times to Dundas East.
Caesars Windsor, two hours west
The riverfront hotel-casino across from Detroit's skyline, with the tables, the slots, the Colosseum's concerts and the restaurants; a London group's night is a Sprinter leaving at 5, dinner at Caesars at 7:30, the tables until 1, and home by 3:15 with the chauffeur waiting through the evening by the hour - or an overnight in the hotel booked through the travel desk and the run home on Sunday. The Windsor page has the city and the Caesars article the run.
Fallsview and Casino Niagara, two hours twenty east
Fallsview's resort on the ridge above the Falls with its tables, its theatre and its hotel, and Casino Niagara on Clifton Hill: a London group's Niagara night is the same Sprinter by the hour with the Falls' fireworks on the way, or an overnight at Fallsview with the Niagara Falls page's day around it.
Elements Casino Brantford
An hour and a quarter down the 401 and the 403, the Brantford casino is the middle-distance night - the tables and the slots without the two-hour run - and the Brantford page has the drive.
The designated-driver arithmetic
Six friends to Caesars Windsor in two cars with two designated drivers who do not drink, two lots at $20, fuel for 400 kilometres each way, and the 401 at 2 a.m.; or six friends in an SUV by the hour for ten hours at $125 - $1,250 plus HST, $208 a head - with everyone at the tables, the chauffeur at the door, and the 401 driven by someone who has been awake since noon. The comparison guide does the same arithmetic for the airport.
The group's vehicles
An SUV for six at $115-135 an hour, a Sprinter for fourteen at $145-175, a party bus for sixteen to thirty at $190-290 through the partner fleet with the rules aboard Ontario's; the party bus page has the bus and the fleet page the cabins.
The rules aboard, and at the door
Ontario's law on alcohol aboard - in the bus and the stretch for legal-age passengers, none in the SUV and the Sprinter; the casinos admit nineteen and over with ID and the AGCO and the OLG set the rules inside; and a passenger who has had a bad night is driven home with the same care as one who has had a good one. The etiquette guide has the rest.
The overnight, and the weekend
Caesars' hotel, Fallsview's tower or a Clifton Hill hotel for the night, booked through the travel desk, and the chauffeur's run home on Sunday after brunch; a Windsor weekend adds the Essex wineries on Saturday afternoon and a Niagara weekend the Shaw or the wineries.
The corporate night and the birthday
A company's client evening at Caesars on the corporate account, a sixtieth birthday's Fallsview night for twelve, a stag's Windsor run with the Detroit casinos across the bridge on the cross-border page's rules: the desk plans each and the group transportation page has the manifest.
Three casino nights, as they went
Gateway London, a Friday in November. A couple from Sunningdale: dinner on the Row at 6:30, the casino's entrance at 8:15, the return moved to 11:40 by text. Two fixed rates at $52.
Caesars Windsor, a Saturday in March. Twelve friends in a Sprinter from Westmount at 5; dinner at Caesars; the tables; home at 3:15. Ten hours and a quarter.
Fallsview, a sixtieth birthday in September. Fourteen in a Sprinter to Fallsview at 4; the fireworks from the ridge; the tables; the hotel; the Shaw's matinee on Sunday; home at 8.
Booking it
The London night is two fixed rates on the reservation engine; the Windsor, Niagara or Brantford night is one email or call to the desk with the date, the numbers and the hours; the casino trips page has the service.
Three questions the desk is asked about the casino night
Does the casino have a pickup point? Gateway London's entrance off Florence Street, Caesars' porte-cochere on Riverside Drive, Fallsview's valet loop on Fallsview Boulevard, Casino Niagara's Clifton Hill door; the chauffeur waits at each or returns by text.
Can the chauffeur wait through the night? By the hour, yes - a Windsor night of ten hours is the SUV's or the Sprinter's booking; a London night is two fixed rates with the return moved by text.
Can we go to the Detroit casinos? With passports, on the cross-border page's rules, and the Detroit page has MGM Grand, MotorCity and Greektown. The FAQ has the rest.
Gateway Casinos London, in detail

The London night, priced
Two fixed rates at $40-60 from most of the city - $52 from Sunningdale, $58 from Byron, $44 from Old North - or an SUV by the hour for six friends who dine on the Row first and want the car through the evening at $115-135; the rates page has the in-city figures.
Caesars Windsor, in detail
The riverfront hotel-casino faces Detroit's skyline across the river, with the tables, the slots, the Colosseum's concert hall and the restaurants; the porte-cochere on Riverside Drive takes the Sprinter and the bus; two hours down the 401 and the E.C. Row, and the Caesars site has the hotel. The Windsor page has the city.
Fallsview and Casino Niagara, in detail
Fallsview's resort on the ridge above the Horseshoe Falls has the tables, the theatre, the hotel tower and the valet loop; Casino Niagara on Clifton Hill is the older, smaller floor; two hours twenty by the 401, the 403 and the QEW, and the Niagara Falls page has the day around them.
Elements Casino Brantford, in detail
Off the 403 at Brantford, an hour and a quarter from London, the Elements casino has the tables and the slots without the two-hour run, and a sedan's fixed rate at $210-250 each way or an SUV by the hour is the middle-distance night; the Brantford page has the drive.
The designated-driver arithmetic, in detail
Two cars to Windsor: two friends who do not drink, two lots at $20, 800 kilometres of fuel at about $110, the 401 at 2 a.m., and a night that ends for the drivers at the door of the casino; one SUV for ten hours at $125: $1,250 plus HST, $208 a head for six, everyone at the tables, the chauffeur at the door and awake since noon. The comparison guide does the same sum for the airport.
The rules aboard, in detail
Alcohol in the bus and the stretch for legal-age passengers under the AGCO's rules and none in the SUV and the Sprinter; the casinos admit nineteen and over with government ID; a passenger who has had a bad night is driven home with the same care as one who has had a good one; the etiquette guide has the rest.
Booking checklist for the casino night
The date; the casino; the numbers; the pickup; dinner before if any; the hours or the return time; the overnight if any; the passports if Detroit; the organiser's card. Nine lines to the desk or two fixed rates on the reservation engine.
The honest summary
Eight minutes to Gateway London or two hours to Caesars and Fallsview, with a chauffeur who waits and nobody driving home; the casino trips page has the service and the party bus page the bus for the group.
A worked example: the Windsor Sprinter
Twelve friends on a Saturday in March: Westmount at 5, the Tilbury ONroute at 6:15, Caesars' porte-cochere at 7:05, dinner in the hotel at 7:30, the tables until 1, and home at 3:15 with the chauffeur at the porte-cochere at 12:55 by text; a Sprinter for ten and a quarter hours at $160, $1,640 plus HST, $137 a head, and nobody driving the 401 at 2 a.m. The Caesars article has the run.
The desk's rule of thumb
Gateway London by two fixed rates with the return by text; Windsor, Niagara and Brantford by the hour with the chauffeur waiting, or by two fixed rates with an overnight; the SUV for six, the Sprinter for fourteen, the bus for more; and the rules aboard the province's. The casino trips page has the service.
Booking it, in one line
The London night is two fixed rates on the reservation engine; the Windsor, Niagara or Brantford night is one email or call to the desk with the date, the numbers and the hours, and a written quote follows within a working day.
