Black Hawk & Central City
Just a short drive from Denver, Black Hawk offers gaming, entertainment, nature, and history with a unique Western kick, and is one of the best day trips from Denver that you should try. Here, you can explore Colorado's authentic past, enjoy outdoor activities like hiking or biking, and experience world-class restaurants, casinos, and hotels. If you’re looking for Vegas-style luxury, try the Ameristar or Isle of Capri casinos. If you get tired of gambling, head on over to Maryland Mountain Quartz Park for some picturesque hiking or go shopping at Gregory Street Plaza. You can also check out the next-door Central City for more shopping and dining options, plus tours of historic Colorado mines. All this, in a picturesque mountain setting like no other.
With plenty of free parking and complimentary shuttle service throughout the city, Black Hawk is your convenient destination for true Western fun and adventure. And, with the new Gregory Street revitalization and development plans, the future of Black Hawk will bring even more unique entertainment and history to enjoy.
