Things to do in Colorado, United States: The Best Casinos & Gambling

May 8, 2022 Harland Bartelt

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

We always try to stop in Cripple Creek when going through Colorado. It’s a lovely Mining town steeped in history. Complete with loads on old buildings full of unique Stores, restaurants, hotels and casinos. The Brass Ass Casino has achieved mixing A casino within a historical building. Keeping many of its the old charm and atmosphere intact. We really enjoyed the experience, drinks were great, friendly helpful people. There is a buses that runs from Colorado Springs a couple times a day if you do not want to drive, Or better, stay the night at one of the wonderful hotels in the area. Enjoy the awesome Mountain View’s.

Easy Street Casino

Reviewed By RICART75 - Peru, United States

We stopped in to see the architecture and decor of the Gold Coin Saloon. If one enjoys a historic, well-preserved, 1800s structure, as we do; this place is a real treat. The bartender was friendly and informative regarding the history of the saloon. We also had lunch at Millies; where the food was quite tasty, at a very reasonable price. All the staff we encountered, throughout the casino were friendly, courteous and accommodating. The gambling area seemed typical; but again, that was not why we were there. This facility has a great, turn of the last century ambiance; in which one can indulge for a pleasant few hours.

McGill's Casino

Reviewed By thomasaU2201GH - Davidson, United States

A near annual trip of ours has been to go to Cripple Creek and stay in J.P. McGill's hotel. The rooms are reasonably priced, nicely furnished, have good Internet connections and ready access to the casino floor. Tied to the hotel are down home restaurants that are short on price although good for the palate. Those playing the slots at any one of the Triple Crown Casinos (JP McGill's is one) can earn points and earn significant discounts on their room and/or their meal costs. Highly recommended although Cripple Creek does not come with the flash or shows of higher end casino locations.

We love the hotel upstairs of Casino. Rm 123 is our favorite. The Steakhouse is fabulous. The restaurant in the casino is good too, but not as good as the Steakhouse. The staff recognizes us now and we never have trouble getting drinks while gambling. The slots usually pay enough for us to play and have fun, We go a couple times a week. The Ice Sculptures and Ice Slide is still standing in the rd. Heated smoking area with benches on the street. Great for people watching.

Dostal Alley Brewpub & Casino

Reviewed By michaelrS2628TV - Kansas City, United States

We just made a trip to Blackhawk. Took the shuttle to Central City. Dropped into a very comfortable place called Dostal Casino. We had a great time. People working there couldn't be more welcoming. And the whole time, the aroma of pizza filled the air. We did not eat, but everyone else was and it looked outstanding. Well worth the visit.
