Central City Casinos & Gambling |
Central City is less than one mile from Black Hawk, so if you are in town there is absolutely no reason not to visit Central City. Central City has something different to offer than Black Hawk. It's actually a slower pace, has more of its historical feel to the town still intact. You'll find friendly staff manning the casinos in Central City, too. (Sometimes being in high demand has it's perks, and they want your business here)
The casinos themselves are beautiful, and as we mentioned Central City did a good job of making sure that the casinos did not destroy the buildings. Central City as well as the rest of the gambling establishments in Colorado have had their stakes raised to $100 per hand (up from $5 limited stakes). It should be an exciting year and great for the state economy, too.
The two biggest casinos in Central City are going to be Fortune Valley Hotel & Casino and the Century Hotel & Casino. Both are excellent as are their smaller counterparts in town. We highly suggest getting a local brewed beer at the Dostal Alley and saying hello to the rest of town while you are there (Bonanza, Doc Holliday and Easy Street).
The Central City Parkway also made it an easier trip to get to Central City than Black Hawk, too we think. Just take I-70 to the Central City Parkway and follow the signs for a quick and scenic drive to the backdoor of the casinos.
