The Gold Rush Casino

5. How do I get to the Gold Rush Palladium?
The Gold Rush Palladium is located at the corner of 2nd Street and Carr Avenue in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Directly behind the Gold Rush Hotel & Casino. For more complete directions check out our “Directions” page on this web site.

6. What about parking?
Because of the large volume of individuals visiting this historic town and its casinos, parking has always been difficult in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Add to this the limited amount of nearby parking lots, parking fees, required players club memberships and you understand everyone’s frustration. The Gold Rush offers two nearby parking lots, one directly across from the Palladium and the other on Carr Avenue, 1/2 block west of the Palladium. Parking is $5.00 which is refundable if you are a member of the Gold Exchange Club and meet certain slot play requirements. Membership is free, so come before or after the show and play.

7. When can I get in the main gates?
The main gates open 1 hour prior to show time for all concerts. Gates may open earlier for special events. Check the Entertainment page for complete information.

8. How does seating on the Festival Lawn work?
There’s nothing like spreading out your blanket on a comfortable lawn under beautiful Colorado skies and enjoying a spectacular concert.

Lawn seating is first-come, first-served. To protect the view for everyone on the lawn, personal lawn chairs and umbrellas may not be brought into the facility.

9. What can I bring to the concerts?
For most shows, you are welcome to bring blankets, pillows and binoculars. For your protection, the following items may NOT be brought into the Gold Rush Palladium: bottles/cans, food and beverages, laser pens, umbrellas, lawn chairs, strollers, illegal substances and weapons of any kind. Shirts and shoes are required for entry into all events.

Audio and video recorders of any type are not permitted inside the facility at any time. Ordinarily, single-shot cameras are permitted but no flash mechanisms may be used. If an artist’s contract prohibits us from allowing photography of any kind, signs at the front gate will say so and our security personnel will remind you. Your cooperation is appreciated. If you must have a cellular phone with you, please turn the ringer mode off or to minimum to avoid disturbing performers or other patrons.

10. What if it rains?
All shows will go on rain or shine. There are no refunds in the event of inclement weather. Raincoats or rain ponchos are the perfect protection for the weather. For your convenience, modestly priced ponchos are available at our concession stand. Umbrellas are not allowed because they block the view of other guests.
