    I never went to Cripple Creek before gaming passed, so I have no clue about down there. I assume it was a similar situation.

    ETA: I guess the moral to my story is that many people benefited from gaming up here, not just the "millionaire" owners.
    Yeah, I understand that too but I miss those old towns.
