Double Eagle Casino

The casino is okay, certainly a place I would go again and it was pretty clean. The location is pretty cool and if you get a room with a view on the fall as we did its spectacular. The rooms are subpar, we got a junior suite that was nice… Specious with lots of Windows and a nice tv, two sinks, etc. the shower head was at shoulder height I honestly don’t understand that whatsoever as I’m just under six foot. The bed was the most uncomfortable, hard mattress I’ve ever slept on and that’s the reason it’s a 3 star. Other than that it’s 3.5−4.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for our anniversary. We had an awesome time. Did we leave rich, no but we did win enough to gamble with the casinos money all weekend. We also gambled enough to get comps for our meals and even one night of our hotel stay. The dealers here are really fun and I stayed at the blackjack table from 8 pm — 2 pm. The waitresses come around often so you are never waiting with and empty drink like I so often have in Blackhawk. The rooms are small and simple but they are very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this place if you are in Cripple Creek or for a weekend getaway.

Hotel/​casino seems decent. Feels Like a real casino in Atlantic city or off the Vegas strip casino.
Nice atmosphere in the casino.
Hotel is average at best.
The tv is a crappy tube tv. With only 10 channels. I was expecting decent cable. To watch the walking dead. I called ahead to ask if they had amc. Lady on phone said yes. (But who really watches tv in cripple creek). The price is decent. $ 60 for a Sunday night with two $ 10 credits for breakfast for me and G/​f.
Casino is clean. ²⁴⁄₇ arcade for kids and people down on their luck.
I heard food is good here also.

Not gonna lie, this place kinda sucks. Stayed at the hotel which was decent enough but the following day couldn’t find a blackjack table at 9:30 in the morning. When I tried to play cards last night, the line around the tables was two deep at nearly every seat. No thanks.
Also, the wait at the one and only restaurant in the place has gradually expanded from a «half-​hour» to forty-​five minutes to what is now the better part of an hour as I bash out this review on my phone. A continental breakfast for hotel guests would have been better than this!
Not worth it at all. This place really needs to step up it’s game or there’s really gonna be no reason to come here at all.
EDIT: The lady called my name to come up and get our table then straight up walked away to get change. NICE.

I’ve stayed at this hotel at least once a year for about 10 years. I’ve always loved it, but lately, it’s getting to be a little «meh».
When we first checked in, the heater wouldn’t blow warm air until it was set at 90 degrees. Anything below 90 was cold air. Easy fix, we just turned it way up and then turned it off when we were warm enough. But a bit of a pain.
Hot water took FOREVER. The husband washed his hands with cold water because it would just not warm up. I decided to take a shower at midnight. I turned on the water all the way to hot. and I waited. Nothing. I got undressed, still cold. I went into the room itself and smoked a cigarette. Came back and it was at least warm. Finally got hot halfway through the shower.
speaking of water-​There was NO water pressure. I have never had to actual try to scrub soap off of my legs. The water was a drizzle. The toilet took ages to flush because of no water pressure.
The staff is awesome and friendly, the casino is clean, as are the rooms. I love that they put out a little buffet of snacks in the casino at night, this was the first year I had seen that, and the snacks were pretty tasty. The slot machines are always changing, so there is always new games to play.
I think the main issue is they expect the casino to carry them and don’t spend the money fixing up the little issues in the rooms. with the new hotels and casino’s though, they better be careful before they start losing buisness

The staff is friendly and they have great top shelf liquor drinks. The cocktail staff bring drinks quickly and are very friendly!

I’ve never been to a casino before today, so I admittedly have no basis for comparison, but we had a good time. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly, the drinks were strong, and it wasn’t excessively crowded, which was nice. They were having free prize drawings every half an hour or so and in honor of Oktoberfest had the prize cart lead by gals dressed in costume and doing the Chicken Dance, which was cute and festive. They said next week they’ll be giving away a car. Our primary reason for coming here was to eat at Winfield’s so we really only hung out downstairs and didn’t try any poker or anything, but we had a good time on the slot machines, the waitresses were very friendly, and came by to check if we needed anything very frequently. Contrary to one of the previous reviews I certainly didn’t smell anything like damp carpet, and certainly didn’t find the roads going to Cripple Creek difficult to navigate. Infact most of the highway going up has been widened and expanded so I found it a much less stressful drive than it was a few years ago, so certainly don’t let that scare you off. I did play some pinball in their arcade though, and one of their machines ate my money, neither reacting to the start button nor responding to the coin return button. And their multicade was also out of order, but at least that had a sign. So. Although that seems to be the place intended to entertain kids while their parents take turns gambling, I’d say just get a babysitter. We also had to wait a while to get anyone at the service desk so we could get cards for the machines (and there were other patrons waiting before we even go there, not sure why the desk wasn’t manned on a Saturday evening.) but again once they did come they were very friendly.

My wife and I stayed here May 27 – 28 2012 and I can’t tell you how great all the staff
we delt with from booking the room over the phone to playing vidio poker at the bar and having Richard as the bar tender that night what a great person to talk with. The Hotel is spotless as are the rooms. If you want to stay in a newer Hotel this is the one.
It’s at the end of town as you come into town. The town is so small maybe 7 to10 blocks long you can walk every were or the Hotel has a free shuttle that will drop you off and pick you up. There isn’t a lot to do in the town unless you like to gamble. I would recomend going to the Molly Kathleen mine the tour is just fantastic. And the museum next to the Hotel is worth going to. I know you will have a great stay at this Hotel. We have stayed in Hotel’s in Japan, Sweden, Germany, Amsterdam, Netterland, All over Calif. And for Cripple Creek this is the best.

I went for my fist visit on Labor Day Weekend 2011. I have been to casinos in Iowa, Vegas, Blackhawk and previously in Cripple Creek. This was my first (and last) visit to the Double Eagle.
The buffet was hokey. It had about 20 items on it including the stuff for salad. The buffet was similar to what you would find in an elementary school.
I then played the table games. The dealers were bored and not engaging with the customers. I had to help the craps stickman (actually a woman) by telling her that I had lost and she needed to remove my chips.
When, dropping your money down for new chips. The banker might be away and your money could sit on the table for 5 – 10 minutes waiting for him to get back — so you could get your chips???
Again, the area for the table games was decorated similar to a elementary school gym for a parent teach meeting?

Let’s face facts; gambling in Cripple Creek is a little different than gambling in Vegas. A four star casino here might only be a two in Vegas, but hey I compare like-​styled things to one another and the Double Eagle is like the Bellagio of Cripple Creek. So, I guess you could say I stayed at the Bellagio in Cripple Creek for Sir Nicholas’ father’s 60^th birthday. Or you could not say that. I mean there wasn’t a fountain light show after all although they do some really nice stuff with the holiday decorations.
Anyway, the rooms are cheap-​ish and fairly reasonable when you consider where you are. There are scarier places on the Vegas strip to be sure. And the gambling is fun, which is probably the most important part of a casino because if you aren’t having fun then you might as well just burn your money in the backyard.
The only disappointing thing for me is how very early last call is. I think they did it at like 1:15. I know the law is you have to give up your drinks by 2AM, but clearly they have no idea how fast I can drink a cocktail when it’s going to be my last of the night.
