An 11-month-old Las Vegas-style hotel and casino in Cripple Creek has changed more than just the city’s skyline; it’s also enticing gamblers to wager more and prompting a wave of investment by some of the gaming industry’s high-profile players.

The Chamonix Casino & Hotel, which opened in phases from late December 2023 through early November, features 300 luxury rooms, an upscale steakhouse, a spa and fitness center, rooftop pool and a jewelry store with custom-made creations from seven designers. Full House Resorts spent $300 million to complete the nine-story Chamonix complex that’s attached to its Bronco Billy’s Casino, which the Las Vegas-based company acquired in 2016.
