Casinos/Aurora, CO
I'm going to Aurora, CO next week and will be staying at the DoubleTree and was wondering if there are any casinos with poker rooms near by.
thanks HD03King |

Re: Casinos/Aurora, CO
If you don't mind driving an hour up into the mountains for shitty 2-5 spread limit, there's Black Hawk. If you do go up there, go to The Gilpin - it's the best room in town. They've got some decent tournaments.

It is the nicest "room" but the action lacks and 90% of the dealers are horrible. Do stay away from Fortune Lounge though - it is quite possibly the worst. CCS has some good tournaments daily if that is what you are looking for and a lot of donkeys on the weekends. Lodge might have the best action but stay away from the $5/$5 game where there is a lot of colusion. |

The quality of play is bad just about anywhere you go. You might as well go to the best room with the best management. Second place would be Mountain High. The Lodge is just stupid LAGgy and the management sucks. CCS used to be my favorite, but you're going to take 2 years off your life every night you play there with all the smoke in that room. The Gilpin is actively trying to be the place for tournaments and they have some cool things going on and are always trying new stuff. They're the only room where it's clear they're actually trying to be a good place to play. |

Management might be ok at Gilpinj meaning upper management but they have some of the worst floor people in town as well as the worst dealers. They have the "nicest" room since it is the newest but unless you are wanting to play fixed limit at 2/4 its not the place to play - just my 2 cents. I really wish they would have better action and better staff because like I said it is a nice room equipement and comfort wise. |

Have you had bad experiences with the floor or had calls made that weren't in your favor? FWIW, business is gradually getting busier and busier and there are nightly "regulars" making the Gilpin their home base so to speak. I seriously doubt this would happen if we had the worst staff in town since there are other rooms to choose from. Please let me know why you think the floor staff is so bad. |
