"THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT IN COLORADO SKIES"
|
From Elvis to Elvira, you never know who you'll run into at Colorado's casinos. Acts will amaze you, dancing will dazzle you and music will move you, when the sizzling stars shine in all three gaming towns. Experience live stage shows complete with impressionists, hypnotists, comedians, country/pop/nostalgic/rock singers and lots more, when stages light up across the Rockies.
The Flamingo Bay Ballroom and Riviera Ballroom stage some of the more elaborate national acts, and entertaining fun events like game shows with audience participation and live boxing also are people pleasers. Acts such as Bobby Vee, the Shangri Las, Mel Tillis, Sha Na Na, Firefall and many more have graced Colorado casino stages and it keeps getting better.

Slot club members often get discount tickets too, so it pays to join and see the stars shine. The Caribbean Cove at the Isle of Capri, where you can catch everything from country to caribbean sounds, and Harveys in Central City often have great local talent performing free of charge.
Harveys' Silver Spur Saloon hosts both local and national acts on weekends. You'll see and hear the best country and country rock groups on the circuit today. Dick Kroekel, Harveys' own piano man, tickles the ivories in the hotel lobby Tuesdays through Sundays. He's a human jukebox and can play most requests.
