Cripple Creek ColoradoCripple Creek Colorado is probably the coolest little casino town that we have ever visited. They have a wonderful old downtown district that is cram packed with some favorite Colorado Casinos.
Cripple Creek is located in the heart of the "Gold Belt Tour". The cha-ching feel of striking it rich is alive and well in this little town. While the Casino's are an obvious attraction, the town has so much more to offer you. In the heart of the Colorado Gold Rush country, the city is rich in the history of Gold Mining from the late 1800's.
