4 reviews for Isle of Capri
This place is like heaven's waiting room, if anyone wondered how a significant portion of Colorado's retired community spends a Friday afternoon, look no further than the Isle of Capri. I was in Denver on groomsman duty for a close friend's wedding extravaganza, part of which included a party bus trip to Blackhawk. We had a couple hours so my brother and I set out to explore the Isle, we spent most of our time at the 3 card poker table where both of us came out decently ahead (the best man won $4000 on one slot pull up the street) All in all the trip was a success, the only thing I am disappointed about was not taking advantage of the free drinks, I didn't realize it was the same as Vegas and avoided the cocktail waitresses as I was uninterested in paying too much for a tiny drink...tisk tisk I should have known better.
My only real question is about all of these hotels...who is staying in these? There is nothing else to do in town but gamble, and most of the mountain attractions are much further west. Nonetheless this is a delightful outing from Denver and the Isle of Capri is a great place to stop on your tour of Colorado's finest gambling bodegas.

Leaving winning $200 so I'm happy!! Friendly employees & good food....awesome/fun place to go while "up the hill" in Black Hawk!!
Don't ask me how this works, but there is a little old casino town in the mountains right outside of Denver. You're driving along a nice scenic road, just you and nature... and BAM! There it is, a magical little casino town. You make your way in, and it feels just like Las Vegas. Well, not really..but they have the coin slots, and even $3 Black Jack tables.
Just like the Multimillion dollar casinos in Vegas- the cocktail waitresses in their skimpy outfits will bring you a drink on the house. So long as you keep gambling away! Now, I didn't learn much about the history of this town, but as you get back in the car and drive 1/4 mile you look back, and it's gone. An interesting place, to say the least. Definitely worth the stop!

All casinos are created equal. It attracts a lot of the same sorts of people I've seen at most casinos, those looking to "get lucky." People watching here was priceless. Parking was beyond insane on 7.7.7 but then again, would there be any doubt about that? Kudos to the gelato lady who filled my cup with enough to feed two people. It's a shame I didn't get lucky on the slots though.
