I have been to Colorado about 40 years ago. We visited Rocky Mountain National Park in early June and snow banks were still 10 feet tall up in the mountains. Yes, it is a beautiful state.

However, if I don't have a car I can look out the window and don't have to have my eyes glued to the road. I'm told traffic is terrible in Denver and that I-70 often backs up. I have no idea if that is true. A country boy like me (I should say old man) is not use to big city driving. Where I come from most of the time nothing is coming down the road in either direction once you get out of town.

Once you get to Black Hawk, I believe there is a free tram that runs to all the casinos so a car would not be necessary.

If I made a trip to Black Hawk it surely wouldn't be for only 3 days. There wouldn't be enough time to recover all the expenses. I would make it for at least a week. The unknown is how much heat the town has and if they flyer to the other casinos. However with only $100 max bet and some places offering only 1 to 4 spread I would think they wouldn't care much about counters.

The biggest expense for a trip there would be hotel expenses. There are not many hotels there and they are expensive compared to what I'm use to. However, a new hotel is scheduled to open in mid 2019, maybe prices will come down then.
