"When gaming was re-legalized in 1991 the annex was sold and converted into a casino. I went off to a business partnership running a parking lot, shuttles, and some miscellaneous marketing. Part of this marketing involved doing coupons for some of the casinos. Checking an order one day, I went to Doc Holliday’s Casino - which was in the building that had housed the Golden Rose Annex just months before. It was early morning and when I entered the office the secretary was quite frazzled, and was sorting a very disordered stack of papers on her desk.
She complained loudly that the "guys” kept forgetting to shut the windows and file cabinet drawers at night and she was many mornings faced with picking files up off the floor and reorganizing them. She was also not pleased with the disappearance of files, which would invariably turn back up on her desk at a later time, but she could never find out who was taking the files in the first place. The room the office was in? You guessed it. Doc Holliday’s Casino office was located in none other than the haunted annex room. I was told that the casino was called Doc Holliday’s because it was believed that the ghost of Doc Holliday inhabited the building. He actually died and was buried in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Whether he actually has taken up permanent residence in Central City , a town he frequented often during life, or not will probably always be a mystery. It is no mystery that SOMEONE has decided to take up permanent residence in that room, however." (excerpted from (
