The Brass Ass Casino history
The charming Colorado gambling house opened its doors in June 1995.
The memorable name is an ode to a donkey statue on the property named of wood and brass. The figure is an ode to the donkeys used at the 1893 World Exposition in Chicago that would kick boats to help launch them in the water.
