The check-in time is a very firm 4:00 pm. We went to Central City for the opera, not for the gambling, and we were somewhat startled to discover that there was essentially no place to eat that wasn't a casino, with the lights and noise of slot machines. Our room was too warm, and the air conditioner sounded like a plane taking offi, so we opened the windows (thank heaven for that) and dealt with the street noise. The hotel seemed comparatively expensive for the amenities on offer, but heat and noise aside, the room was fine.
