We spent 5 minutes playing with the dollar on different penny machines until it was gone. We visited the casino and put a dollar into the penny slot machine and pulled the lever and won 619 pennies! Why couldn't it have been a dollar machine? Turns out that it took 83 of my pennies to achieve that winning, so sevenfold my investment, which I had borrowed from my daughter, so I quit and gave her back all but a dollar.
Getting the rental car near the airport took almost an hour, then the drive was a short hour, so check in was close to 10pm and we had no waiting and a friendly clerk.
This hotel was reasonably priced and in new condition, and got us close to the Georgetown Loop Railroad where we had booked a 10am train ride the next morning, and then had us close to Vail which was on our list of places to visit.
We wanted a place that would let us get to it relatively quickly, as our flight into Denver was arriving at 8pm (10pm our Eastern Time) and I didn't want to drive 3 hours to Stteamboat Springs and check into our Wyndham Timeshare at midnight (2am our time).
