It was a big week for the future of Black Hawk: you can see the new 23-story hotel and spa at Monarch Casino Resort rising by the day!

Crews poured concrete for the second floor over the last few days. They're working on the base of the hotel and spa building, between the new parking garage and the current casino. By the numbers, the concrete work involved:

• 370 Cubic yards of concrete
• 7600 LFT of conduit within the slab
• 1 Forklift
• 1 Articulating Boom Lift
• 1 Track Hoe
• 1 Mini Track Hoe (MEP Contractors)
• 1 Mini Excavator
• 2 Tower Cranes
• 3 Skid Steers
• 1 Backhoe
• 1 Dewatering System
• 1 Sheep’s foot roller compactor
• 1 Gas Powered Tamper
• 1 Chipping extension for Backhoe or Trackhoe
• 63 contractors, consultants and workers on site

That's a lot of activity for the mountain town of Black Hawk, located just 45 minutes from downtown Denver in Clear Creek Canyon above Golden!

The new construction includes approximately 500 guest rooms and suites, an upscale spa and pool facility, a total of four restaurants and several new bars. From the beautiful steakhouse restaurant, to the rooftop pool, to the retail space, this resort is sure to rival any major US casino property.

The casino has also undergone a recent renovation, including construction of a nine-story parking structure with state-of-the-art lighting. When coupled with valet parking spaces, the property has room for more than 1,500 vehicles.
