Re: Colorado Poker rooms - non smoking?
The Gilpin definitely has the nicest poker room and best intentions of any casino in Black Hawk or Central City. You can tell they really are trying to be the best room around. The only problem is they don't get a whole lot of games going, but hopefully that's just because they're still relatively new. The location is the worst of the poker-room casinos in BH, so that's got to have something to do with it too. If you can't handle smoke, I'd stay away from Central Station and probably The Lodge. In fact, I'm not much a fan of The Lodge anyway. Mountain high isn't too bad with smoke, because the ceilings are pretty high, but if you're sitting next to someone who's smoking, you're still going to get it.
In the end, I'll play at the Gilpin and Mountain High. They are #1 and #2 as far as "nice" rooms go, and I like the action at Mountain High. I'm really rooting for The Gilpin to take off, though, and once they do, there'll be no reason to go anywhere else unless the Gilpin's list is 3429876467 people long.
