Fitzgeralds Casino

Fitzgeralds Casino in Black Hawk CO has changed ownership and name to Saratoga Casino as of 6÷23÷2013. Went there on 11÷1÷13 and was pleasantly surprised to find the upgrades they have made to all areas were great improvement. They are still honoring Fitzgerald member rewards and staff is still the same. Felt very well taken care of and staff were super. New machines, tables etc. Really enjoyed

I’ve had some luck at the Fitz, but then again, I’ve had some not-​so-​luck at the Fitz. They have some of my favorite slot machines here (the big and flashy ones), and I can always get a spot at the $ 5 blackjack tables.
I love the uniforms of the female dealers. Cute little motorcycle shirts with booty shorts and fishnets. If that doesn’t say class, I don’t know what does.
Make sure to sign up for the Key Card (the rewards program). I get stuff mailed to me constantly, urging me to come back and lose some more money. So very tempting. And every month, you get a free coupon for a hot dog. A hot dog that’s been sitting in a heater all day. It makes my stomach hurt every time I get it, but I don’t turn down free food.
The café there is pretty good. Lots of Irish fare, all year round (I loves me some corned beef and cabbage).
Overall, one of the biggest Black Hawk casinos, and one of my go to places.

It is a smaller casino but thats what makes it so much better. THey have free valet and that is the only way to park in their garage. THey are in the process of remodeling and they will changing and adding more tables. They currently have 2 black jack tables, 1 roulette, and 1 craps. They have two floors of slots and the third floor is a players lounge pretty nice detail whenu just need a lilttle break from all the noise and just want to admire the mountain view. The Shamrock café has some of the best steak I had in my entire time in Colorado. We signed up for the players card and they gave a few perks buy one entrée get one free. $ 5 after earning x amount of points, and a free hot dog…

Good place to chill when you’re not hanging out at the pool. My folks love Black Hawk and Fitzgeralds is one of their favorites. The staff was nice and I didn’t get carded every 60 seconds like the other BIG casino. It makes a big difference when you’re treated like family or a valued customer. Being treated like an under age hooligan when you’re in your mid 30’s is really annoying.
Way to go Fitzgeralds! I had a great time and I’ll be back.

Fun little casino in Black Hawk, CO. Came here to do a little slot machine gambiling with a couple of girlfriends while the hubbys were motorcycle riding. We were encouraged to sign up for a players card so we did. It came with a free lunch at the Shamrock Café inside the casino. That was cool.
I had the hot turkey jack sandwich and my friends split the club sandwich. We had the fried pickle appetizer which was probably some of the best fried pickles I ever tried. Good food, big portions!
We had a great time playing slots. One of my friends came out ahead, but for me, it was $ 40 well spent. Great atmosphere, clean and staff was very nice.

I had a great lunch at the little café inside the casino. My wife had the corned beef and cabbage and I had the hot beef sandwich. My meal was delicious, tender and very filling. The corned beef needed a bit more seasoning, but after adding salt and mustard it tasted very good. The portions are very generous and the service was excellent. Next time you are «up the hill», stop by and check out this little place.

This is our hot spot! Staff is friendly, beers are free and when you need to eat there’s hot dogs, nachos and all the yukky stuff that tastes good when you’re drinking. I do very well on the slots up here and can play for hours and hours if I’m so inclined as opposed to other casinos that eat your money and spit you out. They keep plenty of the latest slots so it’s always fresh.

I ended up «casino hopping», and found Fitzgerald’s to be one of my favorites! I signed up for their rewards programs and they definitely have the most generous sign-​up package (they give you this $ 40 book with coupons for a free hot dog, free entrée at their restaurant, $ 5 match play, among other things).
Staff was friendly. Had fun at the blackjack tables. I regret not staying longer, but I will be back again.

Visited Fitzgeralds Casino in Colorado Springs and I must say I was totally impressed. Not only by the friendly staff but the area is so beautiful it was amazing.
Imagine driving through the Rocky Mountains seeing Black Bears, Horses, Deers and Big Horn Sheep’s and in the middle of nowhere you come across a Casino City high up in the mountains. Priceless !!!
Coming from a tiny island in the Caribbean (Trinidad & Tobago) and Living in a Big Apple this trip was definitely what the doctor ordered.
There are many casinos and Hotels to choose from but Fitzgeralds was the place I made my mark (lol)…
I will be there again in December 2010. Hope I can get some nice deer meat to bring home. Some nice Bar-​B-​Que or Curry deer would make some good cutters. (heheheheheh)…

I was just in town for the weekend with The Mrs. and some friends, but possibly spent the majority of our time outside of our hotel here.
We got so sick of looking for a place with table limits that we could afford — on Saturday’s it’s $ 25 limits as far as the eye can see. When we walked into the Fitz, it’s like they were waiting with open arms. $ 10 blackjack, $ 10 craps… we had found it.
Found a spot on the rail at the table and sat there for about an hour and a half. Time was flying, I was drinking, fun was being had, and I should have cashed out far sooner than I did, but who knew.
Found my new favorite.

Not a bad place to gamble your money away overall. Its a pretty run of the mill casino much like all the other ones on the same block, with slots, table games, and plenty of free drinks. I chose to review this one because if you are hungry at 3 AM and are looking for a cheap bite, you really can’t beat the $ 1 hotdogs they sell at the bar. And they aint half bad either!

HIT ME!
I lost more money that we can discuss here at Fitzgerald’s, but you know what, that’s the point of gambling :)
This place has enough Blackjack tables so that people really dont’ have to wait to sit down at one. That’s the first good thing.
The next good thing was that they drove away crazy loon black jack players that don’t pay attention, complain a lot, and just act overall jackface-​like. They did this for us in an effort keep us at the table.
They also had pretty reasonable drink service that came by quick. I will give you a DISCLAIMER though, they are really stingy about the 2 am drink thing… They took my beer out of my hand at 1:40 am, and were pretty pushy about it.
All in all, Ladyhawk, Dan W. and I had a great time here. I’d go back. I even signed up for a Key Card (which is the rewards program)…

They gave me champagne to drink while I played blackjack. What’s not to like? Also, once the dealer tried to pay me even though I was showing 18 and he had 19. I told him he beat me so I didn’t take the money, but you got to love a place that is that willing to give away their money like that.
Since the increase of limits and the change of hours this casino has added in a table for all the popular games — craps, roulette, etc. and they had two blackjack tables when I visited. My only complaint is that you can’t have 24 hour gambling without 24 hour drinking. But, that’s a Colorado law and not the casino’s fault.
***Disclaimer — I have a hard time giving any casino less than 4 stars because I love playing blackjack so very much.
