Victor Gold Mine/ Cripple Creek Casino's:
There is so much to do in the area. The Victor Gold mine is one of the largest Gold Mines still in operation in the United States. Mine tours are available. Or visiting some of the haunted areas in these Mining Towns.
Hike till your drop, fish till you drop, shop till you drop. The Casino's offer a whole lot more than just gambling - some excellent restaurants and shows.
Colorado Springs Area:
So much to do. Colorado Springs is about 1/2 hour away. Visit Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, the cave and don't forget the train ride up to Pikes Peak - get the view from on top of the world. Shop in Manitou Springs or Old Colorado City.
Canon City :
If White Water Rafting is of interest - then you've got to make your way over to Canon City - approx 1 hour.
Also near Canon City is the Royal Gorge Bridge - something you have got to see and do for yourself.
