Colorado Casinos
Limited-stakes gambling is a popular pastime in Colorado, with three cities bursting with casino fun. These casino towns are part of the National Historic District and have preserved their boomtown-era look from the mid-1800s. Visiting one of these towns is a step back in time, as many casinos are housed in historical buildings while others have more modern setups. There’s more to do than gambling, such as touring museums, scenic train rides, theaters, art exhibits, historic mine tours, scenic byways, and more.
