Ameristar Black Hawk Fact Table

Casino History

Ameristar Black Hawk opened in December 2001 as the largest casino in Colorado. Plans for the casino by real estate development company Windsor Woodmont had first surfaced four years prior in 1997.

At the time, the casino was called the Black Hawk Casino by Hyatt. It was the first piece of what would eventually become a destination resort, complete with a large hotel, convention center, nightclubs, a spa, and more.

The Black Hawk Casino had a rough start, producing sub-par revenues in its first year of operation. This ultimately led to Windsor Woodmont defaulting on bond payments and filing for bankruptcy protection in late 2002, leading to a change in ownership and the renaming of the business.

Ameristar Casinos bought out the property two years later in a deal worth almost $120 million. The casino rebranded to the Ameristar Black Hawk in 2006, following vast improvements to the facilities.

A hotel tower was added in 2009, featuring 536 guest rooms and suites. The tower is the tallest building in Colorado outside of Denver.

The hotel’s Ara Spa provides six treatment rooms and a fitness center, complete with massages, facials, scrubs, and manicure/pedicure options.

The swimming pool facilities feature a rooftop pool and hot tub spas with panoramic views of the mountains. A retractable glass wall can be closed in the winter to keep the area warm.

Four different restaurant options are available, catering to different price ranges and atmospheres. These include:

• Centennial Buffet
• Timberline Grill, an upmarket steakhouse
• Fireside Kitchen, a casual restaurant
