With musical heavyweights like Rod Stewart , Santana and the Steve Miller Band performing in the near future The OLG Stage At Fallsview Casino looks to be a significant entertainment destination for years to come . “ I think everything ’ s been really positive so far , “ summarizes Zlomislic . “ We ’ re starting to ramp up with the calendar .
