Not from Buffalo and have never been but I've heard a few bad stories about it. Not as bad as some other NY cities like Utica thankfully. Just avoid certain parts , don't be out too late, don't drive a flashy vehicle or wear flashy clothes and you should be okay.
Why are going there?
Concert- Our Lady Peace in July
Thanks - I haven't gotten a hotel yet and I'll prob be walking to and from the casino, so just hoping to not cross over into some bad parts
