Christmas and gambling aren’t necessarily two things that go hand in hand, but in Colorado they certainly do now!

A few years back, the people who own Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek bought the longtime Imperial Hotel and spent six months and $1 million turning it into a Christmas-themed gambling hall and lodging property.

The Christmas Casino and Inn is all Christmas, all year-around.

If you really love Christmas, Southern Colorado might be worth a trip… Besides the casino they also have The North Pole, which is a 365 day a year Christmas themed theme park in Manitou Springs.
