Central City/Blackhawk gambling 2/8/09

Decided to go to Center City/Blackhawk for the first time to experience gambling at 8000 feet above sea level. Well, the towns had their small mountain charm with small-medium casinos occupying every building.

The turn off of I-70 towards Central City.


















That's it! Central City!














Every building is a small casino in Central City.


















Entering Black Hawk



















Blackhawk through a cracked windshield.

























They are adding onto the Ameristar casino by building this huge (by mountain town standards) hotel addition.





















First stop.
























Blackhawk's casinos are a little bigger and more modern than Central City.

























Inside, wait, where are we again?
























The poker room was packed!

















This little casino sucked!!! Drink service was terrible.






















Inside the Ameristar casino.























Zeus took my money.. Damn greek gods!





















Another shot inside of Ameristar






















Outside Ameristar, see the new hotel in the left corner?






















The Lodge? Forgot which one exactly this was.






































Yep, just like Vegas! Wait, I win in Vegas!
