Black Hawk, CO

united states

Black Hawk is a tiny mountain gaming town 38 miles west of Denver, reached via the winding Peak to Peak Highway through Clear Creek Canyon. The former gold rush settlement now hosts several casinos in a dramatic Rocky Mountain setting at over 8,000 feet elevation. Most visitors drive up from Denver for day trips, with EV charging available near the main casino strip. The town's Victorian buildings house modern gaming floors, creating an unusual architectural mix of Old West and contemporary Nevada-style casino design.
