Things to Do & Entertainment

Since opening day in September 1996, the Double Eagle Hotel and Casino has been a long-standing mainstay attraction of the Cripple Creek area of Colorado. Unlike many other Colorado casinos in Cripple Creek and Blackhawk, Double Eagle went to great lengths to ensure their destination was built in accordance with the strictest historical preservation standards so they could enhance the beauty of the town’s Historic District in more than one way.  Double Eagle was the first “Vegas Style Casino” in all of Colorado when opened. If you've ever been to Vegas before, then you know exactly what we mean. At Double Eagle, you’ll be dazzled by high arched ceilings, pristine casino floors, spectacles of vibrant colored lights, plenty of exhilarating slot machines, on-demand alcoholic beverages, outstanding customer service, and so much more. They wanted to bring the essence of Las Vegas to this old cowboy town, and they have achieved that goal. In fact, many visitors have called Double Eagle a “mini-Vegas hotel and casino!”  For the past few decades, the Double Eagle Hotel and Casino has welcomed hundreds of thousands of players with open arms. You’ll enjoy a luxurious stay in one of their 158 recently remodeled hotel rooms and you’ll be a short elevator ride away from hundreds of unique slot machines and games. And with their Premier Club, you can take advantage of discounted meals, comped drinks, seasonal gaming promotions, and much more.  Thanks to a centralized location in the historic district, their just minutes away from all the local hotspots and attractions of our mountain town.

“Alaska small boat cruises” and “Small Alaska Cruise Ship” are terms that the “mid-size” cruise ships have adopted to describe their Alaska Inside Passage cruises and cruise boats carrying 40-80 passengers. But, there is a real difference between the Alaska cruise experience and “up close wildlife viewing” that these boats offer compared to the relaxed cruising atmosphere and intimate wildlife encounters we have onboard the Discovery. In most of the places that we visit even 20 people seems like a crowd for an Alaska cruise and it is a well known fact that your chances of seeing wildlife are better in smaller groups. The glow of filtered light on mahogany paneling sets the mood to one of relaxation. Picture windows offer panoramic views from every room. Discovery has 4 spacious common areas (Main Salon, separate Dining Salon, Forward Lounge and Fantail). There is plenty of room to gather as a group but you can always find a quiet space to read or catch up on your journal. Staterooms The yacht has 6 nicely appointed guest cabins with comfortable beds, opening portholes, vanity/sink and space to store your belongings. Two heads and showers are shared (a third head is located on the upper deck) and a furnace heating system keeps the boat nice and warm. Guest cabins are separate from crew quarters and battery power is used at night so all is quiet. On Deck Discovery’s open bow is a popular place to sit and an ideal stage for wildlife viewing. Wide, covered side decks allow uninterrupted access all around the boat and the Fantail (like a sun room, aft) provides additional space and undercover seating.  The Toys Discovery carries two Boston Whalers (skiffs), four stable kayaks, crab pots, shrimp pots and salt water fishing gear, for the best fishing in AK. The boat is outfitted with TV, Stereo, Satellite Radio and has a large library of books from the latest novel to informational books on Classic Yachts, Cruising in Alaska, Canada, the San Juan Islands and any wildlife in between. We have it all if you are looking for a intimate and small cruise ship to go from Alaska to Washington and Canada! Come see the difference! We look forward to welcoming you!  https://alaskacharters.com/
