Reserve Casino Hotel Review - CLOSED Jump to comments

The Reserve Casino & Hotel is located in Central City, Colorado and is the largest casino in town and the only one with a fairly large hotel.  There is Century Casino Hotel, but it is not quite as big.  The Reserve has live entertainment, slots, table games and utilizes Colorado’s maximum allowed bet of $100 at their table games.  Play slots for as low as a penny.

This is definitely a luxury hotel and casino having been through various upgrades since its original Harvey’s brand casino back in the 1990’s.  It’s previous incarnation was “Fortune Valley Hotel & Casino,” but The Reserve promises to change the game.  The new management really is making a visible effort to improve the facility and the entertainment experience of its customers.

Always top on my list of things to evaluate is the service.  Where in past visits, especially under the “Harvey’s” management, I thought the service on all fronts left something to be desired, this time I couldn’t be more impressed.  Fortune Valley had more than enough staff at every cashier, bar, and the slot club booth and The Reserve is even better. When a window at a cashier cage was open, there was a friendly body ready to help. And I should stress friendly. Not a sourpuss in the bunch. I finally asked a cashier right out what he thought about the new management. He had all good stuff to say. I couldn’t get a negative comment out of him to save my life. Finally, the drink service on the slot floor was excellent, even in the 5-cent video slot areas which in other casinos tends to get ignored.

The hotel is nice and the entire casino facility is in easy (downhill) walking distance to Black Hawk or even closer to downtown Central City (recommended).
