[Farmer’s Pick Buffet in Isle Casino in Black Hawk, CO. Photo: Isle Casino] The thought of visiting casinos conjures up several stereotypes, from the glittering slot machines and bustling table games to the all you can buffets. This latter casino staple, most known for its cheap eats in the City of Sin, Las Vegas, the casino buffet has a home in Colorado as well.

Although you won’t wind sprawling buffets at all of Colorado’s gambling halls, there are a handful of casino restaurants with buffets to choose from. Out of the 3 casino towns in the state, only buffets can be found in Black Hawk and Cripple Creek. The casinos in Central City are without them to our knowledge.

Because these buffets are located inside the casino, you’ll need to be 21+ to dine. It’s best practice to sign up for the local casinos awards program. This can track your time spent playing and reward you with discounts at some of these very same restaurants. Plus these free programs are free to sign up for and often required for the member pricing at most of these restaurants. Casino parking usually located on-site in a free parking garage.

To really make your Gilpin or Teller County casino day a trip to remember, be sure to do more than gamble. You can play casino games virtually anywhere, there are online casinos for that. Instead soak in the local culture, and make sure you get a bit to eat, or two, or three. Go up as many times as you feel to the buffet.

Sometimes you’re hitting the table hard and need to fill up on all you can eat grub, to soak up the free booze and slow down play. Other times it’s just fun to feel like you’re actually beating the house (in terms of money spent) by enjoying the flexible nature of restaurant buffets. Here are the best casino buffets in Colorado:
