Doors open 5:00 PM

Denver Marriott West Golden

1717 Denver West Marriott Blvd, Golden, CO 80401

Attire:

Dress as you would have in 1876, or in your favorite lucky casino outfit. Judges will decide who wore it best! 

It's Colorado's 150th Anniversary and we are celebrating 1876 style with a Sesquicentennial Saloon night in Golden! Feel free to come in costume (there will be a contest and prizes) and no worries if you don't know how to gamble, the dealers will teach you! We're playing with Dino Dollars to benefit the missions at Friends of Dinosaur Ridge (fossil protection, education, and scientific research) and especially the soon-to-be-open Deep Time Detour exhibition at the Martin G. Lockley Discovery Center.

Serve-yourself buffets and special desserts from The Inventing Room (hint: Denver Mint and Silver Dollar "caviar" are some of the ingredients), a Photo Booth, a live DJ, Silent Auction, Wine & Whiskey Pull, and special drinks along with the poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, and money wheel games. It's going to be so much fun and you will get the very latest on the new exhibition at the Martin G. Lockley Center opening Memorial Day Weekend! Don't miss this one!
