Seneca Allegany Casino
New York’s Allegany region includes the 65,000-acre Allegany State Park, which is the state’s largest park. It’s also home to Lake Erie and Chautauqua Lake and many streams, rivers, and ponds. It’s a fishing and outdoor enthusiast’s dream destination, and it’s also home to Seneca Allegany Casino.
The casino resort is in the heart of this natural area surrounded by waterfalls, skiing, golf, and the village of Ellicottville. Our casino review covers what you can expect from this AAA Four Diamond resort and casino.
