BLACK HAWK, CO-Las Vegas-based Ameristar Casinos Inc. on Thursday afternoon debuted its newly renovated and expanded Black Hawk casino, and announced details of its 33-story, 536-room adjacent hotel. The entire project will cost $380 million. The company will begin constructing the “four-diamond” quality hotel in May.

The Ameristar Casino Black Hawk, at Highway 199 and Richman Street, formerly was called the Mountain High Casino. Ameristar expanded the parking, refurbished the dining areas, added additional gaming slots and established a “Star Club” for top players. Black Hawk is one of three mountain communities in Colorado where limited stakes gambling is allowed. Black Hawk is west of Golden.

The hotel will include Black Hawk’s only swimming pool and indoor and outdoor spas. Next to the spa will be a 1,000-sf fitness center. It also will include a meeting center with a main ballroom, junior ballroom, breakout rooms, pre-function space, a business center and a boardroom. The main ballroom will not only cater to businesses and company meetings. It can be converted into an event center for special entertainment, such as boxing matches.
