    A fine location in Black Hawk, Colorado. Canyon views. A mountain feel. The pool was fabulous. I was there during the Memorial Day weekend and it didn't seem too busy. Hardly any screaming children. Outside rooftop deck with firepits were relaxing. Casino was decent. Spotty restaurants to choose from with some being good and others not so good. You take what you can get I suppose. I noticed it is somewhat of a food desert in the early morning hours from 3am to 7am. Overall a nice getaway from the big city. A mixture of spar relaxing, gambling and food. 4 stars!

    I really like this casino- it's the perfect balance between "laid back" while still being upscale. My friend even brought me to this "club 48" to eat dinner one night while we were there, though I have to admit I was quite disappointed that the food overall was very "meh." However the rooms are quite nice and I'd totally stay here again!

    First time stay at the Ameristar Black Hawk and I had a great experience and time! This is my bestie's favourite casino and she frequents it often. She suggested we all go up for a couple of days to hang out and relax and rejuvenate since my first visit to Black Hawk involved a birthday celebration, too many shots, and no good memories. We arrived during a rush so valet and the front desk was a bit hectic. Valet was missing Sergei who would have made sure everything was running smoothly. The front desk was swamped with a line of about 15-20 guest groups. They recovered by bringing out a couple more desk clerks and the line moved quickly and we got up to our room. The two queen room was on a high floor away from the elevator. The rooms are spacious as is the bathroom. Love that the rooms have a water closet for privacy. I love the mission-style decor throughout the hotel, casino, and rooms. Our first night included a spectacular dinner at Timberline (which I already reviewed). We received excellent food and service at Timberline. I would go back in a heartbeat! After dinner we sat in the bar and enjoyed cocktails and the DJ spinning. Music and atmosphere were on point. The bestie is the gambler in the family so we headed up to the room and called it a night. Bed and pillows were so comfy and loved that the AC got the room nice and chilled. Slept great. The next day we enjoyed the pool and hot tubs on the 34th floor. It was perfect hot rubbing weather: rainy and chilly. We chatted with some nice people also partaking of the amenities. We followed up by having lunch at Fireside Kitchen and enjoyed another great meal. Our server was great and our food was delivered by a robot which was hilarious! We hung out on the casino floor and did some lookie-looing and drinking for a couple of hours before heading out and back down the mountain. Thank you, Black Hawk!

    Nice looking casino. I like that all casinos are in one area and literally next door and across the street from one another. The parking ramps are a bit confusing but still easy to get in and out of. Since I was a passenger, I went with the flow.

    I didn't stay at the hotel on this visit - just a quick visit to see if there was anything new. They do still send me free rooms but after that last stay, I haven't wanted to use them. The poker room wasn't empty but it definitely wasn't as bustling as it used to be. I played slots in a couple of different areas but didn't see much that was new or interesting and drink service continues to be slow to non-existent. Ameristar has such good potential, and it's a beautiful casino, that it's a real shame that I don't feel valued there. With so many competitive options in Blackhawk, they really need to step up their game in that respect.

    Ask the Community - Ameristar Black Hawk

    Does this casino have roulette?

    Yes

    Does the casino allow smoking?

    So, there is no smoking in any Colorado casino, but they do have nice smoking patios with heaters. Also, the hotel itself recently went completely non smoking in all of their rooms.

    How loose are the slots?

    On a Friday or Saturday night the red one's are hot, but check to see if someone won recently. If so, then they will likely be cold for a bit. It all depends on amount of people playing, weekends are better.

We checked out the lower level and then hopped on a couple machines on the upper before deciding to leave. There was hardly anyone there but we did notice a security guy sort of lurking. He hopped on his radio and before we knew it we were ambushed by a floor manager and security telling us to leave due to being "intoxicated " and that it's against the law to gamble while intoxicated. I was shocked to say the least. I had 4 inch platform heels on and we were quietly enjoying ourselves not bothering a soul. It's insane how rude they were with telling us to finish our drink and leave. Absolutely disgusting racist behavior. I will never ever recommend this casino. EVER. Stay away.

We didn't have an ice bucket in our room and had to call down for one. The shower does not get that hot, which is frustrating. At check-in the lady didn't know how to work the key card machine. She only gave us one key card and it expired the next morning even though we were scheduled to be there for 3 days. There was a huge line, so we tried using the kiosk and it would not register either of our id's. So we got back in line and waited 20mis to get new keys (she was understandably checking in new guests, it just sucked to wait when we had somewhere to be and this could have been avoided in the first place). We ordered food from the room and payed for it with our card, but they also charged it to our room upon check out. The person at the front desk didn't know how to erase the charge, but called their manager who over the phone said they would take care of it. There are a few unsavory individuals that run around the motel. A girl and her guy friend that were literally rolling off of nitrous that she was actually carrying around in her arms going floor to floor during check out time. So...that was interesting. There's not a store or anything nearby, so if you needed something extra, other hotels in the area will actually have something.
