Once upon a time, Denver, Colorado was synonymous with the Gold Rush. In 1858, prospectors from Georgia discovered gold in what is now Confluence Park. Over the following two years, 100,000 hopefuls flocked to Colorado in order to take their chances at striking it rich. Even now, people flock there to see the majestic Rocky Mountains, hike through its parks, and ski the pristine trails of Aspen. If you need to get out of the cold, you can visit the seven-story Denver Art Museum, the historic Molly Brown House Museum, and shopping at Larimer Square. But if high rolling is more your thing, you may be wondering: are there any casinos in Denver?
Although Denver itself doesn’t have a casino, there are plenty of options for high-stakes entertainment in the surrounding area. Check out the top hotels with casino near Denver, Colorado.
