After more than six years of planning and construction, Bronco Billy’s Chamonix Resort Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek, CO is now fully open. The $300 million project, which was originally approved by the Cripple Creek City Council in April 2018, ran into some delays due to labor shortages and other issues. But all those headaches are in the past now as customers are able to fully enjoy the expansive casino and resort space.
The Grand Opening
Due to the multiple setbacks, the casino opened in stages, starting in December 2023. The official grand opening took place Nov. 2, 2024. The event featured special activities and gourmet meals for casino guests, in addition to performances by former late night host Jay Leno and country music artist Tenille Arts.
The Hotel and Casino
The Chamonix Casino Hotel, planned by Cannon Design and built by Hensel Phelps Construction, features a large casino floor complete with a variety of newest slot machines, high-end table games, and a high-limits salon. Meanwhile, the 300-room hotel features the finest luxury guest rooms in all of Cripple Creek. Guests can dine at 980 Prime, a high-end steakhouse operated by notable Las Vegas chef Barry S. Dakake.
Other Amenities at the Resort
Chamonix includes a state-of-the-art luxury spa that is also open to the public. Customers can receive everything from massages to facials to full-body treatments to hair and nail work at the full-service salon. Meanwhile, the gym gives guests access to equipment from some of the most popular fitness brands, including Peloton, Hydrow, Tonal, and NordicTrack. The resort is also complete with an onsite jeweler, Ore & Alloy.
Chamonix guests also get access to a heated pool, which is kept at especially warm temperatures in the frigid winter months. The pool and deck overlook Cripple Creek and the nearby mountains, which makes for a tremendous view.
Meanwhile, the resort features modern, well-equipped meeting spaces at its convention facility. Chamonix is capable of hosting events of many different sizes, including weddings, as well as intimate corporate retreats.
