Casino operator plans major Cripple Creek hotel
CRIPPLE CREEK — The company that owns Bronco Billy’s Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek will build a 150-room upscale hotel connected to the gaming hall, creating one of the top-rated lodging properties in the Colorado Springs area.
According to a report in the Gazette, Daniel Lee, CEO of Las Vegas-based Full House Resorts Inc., which bought Bronco Billy’s in May 2016, said the hotel would cost $60 million to $70 million to build and open in two or three years on property the company has options to buy for about $13 million. The project includes a hotel with a restaurant, meeting and event space with a capacity of 500 people, a 400-space parking garage and a courtyard that would be built north and west of Bronco Billy’s. Lee said the hotel would not be part of a major chain and rooms would cost an average of $200 a night.
The Gazette quoted Lee as saying he paid $30 million to buy Bronco Billy’s in 2016. “We will be bringing a different level of customer to Cripple Creek,” Lee said.

Solar Operations and Maintenance for Commercial Properties
One key qualification to consider when selecting a solar partner to install your system is whether they have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) or service department. Since solar is a long-term asset with an expected lifecycle of 30 plus years, ongoing O&M should be considered up front. A trusted O&M partner will maximize your system’s energy output and therefor the return on your investment.
The operation will be the largest in Cripple Creek. Three other casino operators also are planning hotel projects.
