Cripple Creek, Colorado, The CVD
 

A classic mountain mining town, Cripple Creek has always been a haven for risk takers. During the 1890s gold rush, miners bet it all in hopes of hitting the mother lode. Today, the town's many casinos welcome gamblers eager to stake their fortunes on games of chance.

Any vacationer willing to try their luck on Cripple Creek won't be disappointed. Besides its bustling casino district, the town is home to architectural gems, tasty restaurants and the historic Butte Opera House, showing melodramas and plays throughout the year. Several museums tell visitors about the town's mining heyday, including tales involving legendary outlaws and the ladies of the red light district.
