Triple Crown Casinos, Colorado Live Cam

Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek keeps its Victorian brick fronts, and this view crosses the street to the Midnight Rose and Brass Ass casinos. A weather panel in the corner of the image gives the local temperature and forecast.

The town sits at about 9,500 feet on the southwest flank of Pikes Peak, in the Colorado gold belt. The rush of 1890 built the street in view, and the whole district is listed as a National Historic Landmark.

Limited-stakes gambling was legalised here in 1991, which is what kept the historic buildings in use. Winter temperatures at this altitude drop well below freezing, and snow often sits on the awnings in the live picture.
