CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. (KKTV) - On Wednesday, Full House Resorts opened the Chamonix Casino Hotel in Cripple Creek.
The new hotel/casino is opening in stages and will feature 300 rooms with what the ownership describes as a blend of “Colorado comfort with classic European elegance.” The casino is located next to Bronco Billy’s Casino.
“Chamonix features an elegant casino floor, with a wide variety of the newest slot machines, a high-limit slot salon, and the state’s most elegant table games area,” part of a news release reads. “Many of Chamonix’s hotel guestrooms and suites offer balconies and sweeping views of Cripple Creek, Pikes Peak and the spectacular Sangre de Cristo mountains.”
A temporary restaurant and buffet is open now, but the hotel will include many more amenities in the future.
“In approximately one month, Chamonix plans to open its high-end 980 Prime restaurant, featuring the cuisine and supervision of Las Vegas celebrity chef Barry Dakake,” the news release adds. “Shortly thereafter, Chamonix will unveil Ore and Alloy, its freestanding jewelry and luxury retail store, and its opulent Chamonix Spa. The spa features a rooftop pool and deck; winter garden; large workout room with modern exercise equipment; eight massage rooms; and an assortment of saunas, steam rooms and other amenities. The spa also offers a full-service salon with hairdressers, barbers, and manicure and pedicure capabilities. In the spring, the adjoining Bronco Billy’s Casino will introduce its new Italian restaurant, Firenze.”
The casino/hotel gets its name from the “Queen of Alpine” resorts in France.
“Chamonix is a special place, unlike any other casino hotel in the state. It offers a high-end, Las Vegas experience in our beautiful Colorado mountain setting,” said Baxter Lee, General Manager of Chamonix Casino Hotel. “We are overjoyed to open Chamonix’s doors on December 27 and to welcome our friends from Colorado and beyond.”
