CENTURY CASINO – DENVER’S BEST CASINO 2012-2017

SUBMITTED BY CENTURY CASINO

C

Century Casino in Central City has once again been voted Denver’s Best Casino celebrating the recognition for the sixth consecutive year on Denver’s A-List.

“This has been a great run that we are extremely proud of,” smiles Mickey Rosenbaum, Century’s GM. “We know we have to earn our guest’s respect and loyalty on a daily basis and at every level of the operation. We create and deliver a culture of fun for our staff and guests alike which leads to a family feeling experience that people love.”

Century Casino is the complete gaming entertainment package offering 500 of the latest and loosest slots and video poker games in a warm, inviting and easily accessible gaming layout. The tables room is located away from the slot floor in a fun yet intimate setting. You will find a 150 year old rock fireplace located in one corner of the room and ample windows to Central City’s historic Main St. keeping the real world in view. Enjoy various blackjack variations, craps and roulette with some of the friendliest dealers to be found anywhere. “The relationships made at our tables are as rewarding as the winning, says Rosenbaum. Players love the unique room and action close at hand on Main St. You don’t get that anywhere else in gaming.”

During the past 11 years Century has maintained an outstanding reputation for food quality and consistency in the Mid City Grill and the Retro Deli Tavern. Both are located on Century’s lower level and both are family friendly. Guests under 21 years of age can enter on the lower level and enjoy both food outlets without violating any casino regulations. You don’t find that anywhere else in gaming either.

“We have always been very proud of our food reputation” boasts Rosenbaum.

Guests come for the food and then fall in

love with the entire casino. It is fun to watch and hear the positive comments.”

The $7.99 Prime Rib Special has been a signature item of Century for 11 years.

It is served daily from 11 a.m. with a Player’s card. One must try the rattlesnake eggs appetizer and the wok charred salmon, served as a dinner or salad.

Indulge in a bacon wrapped filet or a juicy rib eye. The entire menu is diverse and delicious and will satisfy any appetite. Century also offers one of the finest stand- alone salad bars to be found anywhere in casino dining. Enjoy it as a meal for $7.99 with Player’s Card or add on with other menu items. The 45+ salad selections are diverse and fresh and accompanied by a choice o f

two freshly prepared soups.

The Retro Deli Tavern specializes in fresh healthy Noodle Bowls and delicious thin crust pizzas.

One can also enjoy great sandwiches and various other treats and snacks. Hand scooped ice cream is served in eight tasty

flavors. The entire family will love the food options of the Deli Tavern. The Deli also offers a full service Starbucks serving all of the signature Starbucks specialty drinks.

Century features a 26-room “boutique style” hotel for those that want to spend a night close to the action. You can book a room conveniently through online

sites such as Expedia or Hotels. com or at Century’s web site with your computer or smartphone and plan an extended stay in advance.

The 500 car covered parking garage provides close hotel and

casino access from every level. Twenty-four hour alcohol beverage service was introduced two years ago.

All bar and soft drink beverages are complimentary while gaming.

Fantastic daily and monthly promotions have always been a huge part of Century’s draw and success over the years. New Members in our Player’s Club will receive

THE COLORADO GAMBLER – Celebrating 25 Years

a free spin on our “Big Bertha” slot machine just for signing up, and will also receive up to $20 in InstaPlay on the first day, just by playing with their card. Play hourly $100 Bingo on Thursdays with three random games worth $250 cash.

Century’s Rapid Return Insta-Play coupon program is the best in the gaming market at rewarding you quickly. Unique and fun monthly promotions provide for lucrative drawings and rewards every weekend

Friday through Sunday.

Century Casino is the heart of historic Central City and summer is the perfect time to visit.

The Central City Opera is in full swing during July and exciting street festivals abound on Saturdays throughout the summer and fall. The historic setting is beautiful and a very pleasant

short and fun getaway from anywhere in the Denver area. Access is very easy from exit 243 off I-70 just before Idaho Springs. The Central City Casino Parkway offers a gorgeous eight mile four lane drive into Central City and Century Casino.

Century Casino has been voted Denver’s Best Casino for six con-

secutive years for obvious reasons.

The hospitality is relaxing and sincere.

One feels comfortable

and appreciated! As their tag line states, “Come for the Action – Stay for the Fun!” You will always find plenty of both!!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You may find yourself easily annoyed this week, Aries. Surround yourself with positive people so you’re not pulled into the doldrums. You will snap out of this funk.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you have been hesitant about being in the spotlight, times are about to change. There are no more excuses this week. Dive head first into everything.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 People around you may seem extra passionate about their beliefs this week, Sagittarius. But you can still take things lightly if those same fires are not stoked in you.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, when others call on you to police a situation, you might be stuck between doing the right thing and taking the side of a friend. Do your best to remain impartial.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 The last few weeks have been good for you, Gemini. Others have had the chance to see what you are capable of accomplishing, and your confidence and ego are soaring as a result.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when speaking with others, take a more serious tone than you are used to. You don’t want to come off as if this is just a big joke. Something important is happening.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may be called on to host family or friends and will have to arrange all of those details. Recognize your strengths and delegate what you can’t handle.
