Medically cleared by Mellisa Kerchief, NP, our Medical Director
Black Hawk started in 1859 along the north fork of Clear Creek, at Gregory Gulch. Its mills and smelters earned it the nickname City of Mills.
Opening soon in Colorado. Join the waitlist and we’ll text you when booking opens.
Casinos opened in 1991, and Black Hawk now has three times as many as Central City next door.
This is a town of casino hotels. A registered nurse comes to your room, asks a few health questions, takes your vitals, and sets up your IV drip. Plan on about 45 to 60 minutes.
At a glance
Casino weekends run late. Add drinks at about 8,000 feet, and the morning after can be rough. Visit Denver warns that alcohol can make dehydration worse before you adjust to the altitude. The Hangover IV is made for that morning.
Black Hawk sits about 2,800 feet higher than Denver. Guests who drive straight up from the city or the airport can feel it, with a headache, fatigue or a bit of nausea. A Hydrate IV in your room puts fluids back.
Both the Ameristar and the Monarch have spas. Pair a spa morning with a Beauty Glow IV in your room.
