Only casino in Cripple Creek that has a poker room. Room is open Thursday to Sunday. Only 6 tables, three were running when I was there for my first time. They do allow calling in to get in list up to 90 minutes prior which was nice. I was able to get a seat as soon as I walked in. Very loose action with a few bingo players at my table. Drink service was okay, they came around fairly frequently.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Midnight Rose. The rooms are newly renovated and fantastic! The beds are extremely comfortable with amazing pillows. Good heating and ventilation! The views looking down & over the strip are beautiful! I can't forget to mention how every single interaction I had with ANY and ALL midnight rose employees, whether hotel crew, the Security or on the floor, was EXCEPTIONAL, Professional, and pleasant. Thank you

Midnight Rose Hotel & Casino delivered an unforgettable experience where I hit it big at the tables, making the night even more thrilling. The energy of the casino was matched by the incredible meal I enjoyed afterward—delicious, hearty, and the perfect celebration feast. With friendly dealers, great food, and a big win, it was a night to remember!
