Gold Rush Hotel & Casino/Gold Digger’s Casino in Cripple Creek, Colorado

Cripple Creek’s Bennett Avenue corridor is a compact historic gaming strip at nearly 9,500 feet of elevation in Teller County, approximately 45 miles west of Colorado Springs via US-24 and Colorado 67. The 209 East Bennett address placed Gold Rush Hotel & Casino in the heart of that strip. The property’s detected amenities — hotel, spa, pool, gym, sportsbook, and steakhouse — indicate a resort-hotel configuration larger than the smallest Cripple Creek storefronts. The 1999 opening placed the property in the mid-era of Cripple Creek’s gaming development, after the 1991 founding wave but before the 2009 bet limit increase.
