First and foremost, cheers to @xtc303den who curated a great list of hook-up spots that I've referenced for quite some time. The list still is here.
I took a few minutes to clean up and add to the list. Denver, as we all know, as NO bathhouses so a list like this is helpful for me.
I thought about making an editable file that everyone could contribute to, but I also don't want to provide access to law enforcement.
Here is the current information in the file. If you want to add / update or delete anything just comment in this thread! I'll repost it every month.

**************VIDEO / BOOK STORES**************
PLEASURES (NORTH)
Update: 9/13/2024
7000 Washington St, Denver, CO 80229
Current notes: Plenty of parking. Crowd varies based on time of day. Late night/early is partiers and horny dudes. Around commute time you get guys stopping by for a quick fuck. The crowd here is more diverse than Colfax location as it seems less like just gay guys. It's fairly roomy, comparitively. The staff seems to participate a fair amount.
PLEASURES (COLFAX)
Update: 9/13/2024
3490 W Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80204
Current notes: Fairly busy especially on weekends with new crowd showing up between 10p-2A (after bar close). My opinion: it's always hotter than I want.
PREVIOUS NOTES: Their "Flagship store" is the Pleasures on West Colfax and King, just west of Federal. It's extra big since they took over the porn theaters next door and incorporated them into the arcade. The place is usually pretty busy, but because it's so big, it doesn't seem busy. It also costs a little more. They charge $12 instead of $10, but again, it's good all the Pleasures in town. If you have a $10 ticket from one of the other arcades, you have to pay an additional $2 when you go to the West Colfax Pleasures.
PLEASURES (WEST ALAMENDA)
UPDATE: 9/13/2024
6700 Federal Blvd, Denver, CO 80221
PREVIOUS NOTES: Previous comments are that it's regularly busy. Please update with your experience as I've not been.
*************HOTELS/MOTELS FOR HOSTING**************
AMERICAN HOTEL (WHEAT RIDGE)
UPDATE: 9/13/2024
10101 N I 70 Service Rd, Wheat Ridge, CO, 80033
Current notes: Located close to several different "neighborhoods" of Denver so makes it easy to get to for many, and right off the highway. Not a downtown location (like Colfax) so not heavily monitored. No key/card/etc. required to get to any room. Plenty of parking. Nearby 24-hour convenience stores/etc. if you work up an appetite.
LAMPLIGHTER (LONGMONT)
UPDATE: 9/13/2024
1642 Main St, Longmont, CO 80501
Current notes: not my first recommendation. Cheap and central in Colorado across I25.
COLFAX MOTELS - it seems like everywhere has been closed down on Colfax. ANY suggestions for Colfax these days?
*************PUBLIC : BATHROOMS**************
LIONSHEAD SECOND FLOOR HANDICAP BATHROOM (Vail)
Update: 9/13/2024
395 S Frontage Rd W, Vail, CO 81657
Current notes: If you are skiing or otherwise in Vail, handicap bathroom on the second floor is NEVER used (steps to get there, inconvenient) and is out of general area where people congregate. Post a quick connect ad and wait on the landing just outside.
*************PUBLIC : GAS STATION/TRUCK STOP**************
Will add some here shortly. It's not worth really posting up there unless you've arranged something with a trucker.
*************OTHER**************
CHEESEMAN PARK (Denver)
Update: Not UPDATED
1599 E 8th Ave, Denver, CO 80206
Current notes: Not sure I'd recommend this. Hookups at Cheeseman used to be a thing, but I don't know if it is anymore. Around lunchtime, the west side of the parking drive is filled with cars with guys in them and yes, you can suck some dick there but it's pretty exposed. Not sure I'd recommend.
EL POTRERO (Glendale)
Update: 9/13/2024
4501 E Virginia Ave, Denver, CO 80246
Current notes: If you're in to Latino guys or "cheds"s good place to head. 70% of the guys there are gay and want to fuck, but are often surrounded by some strong-arming Latina. There's plenty of places to hook up around Glendale nearby - the park one block away, or right around the corner on the backside of the strip club and el Potrero. Many of these guys aren't on apps, but it's a fishbowl of available dick/ass.
MIR PARK NORTH SIDE (Glendale)
NOT UPDATED
580 S Elm St, Denver, CO 80246
Current notes: The apartment buildings around here are filled with a bunch of guys that want to fuck. Over the past years, the wooded area at the north side of the park was a place to hook up. Tons of places to hook up around there though, and lots of guys generally partying or looking to fuck.
LOUISVILLE PARK (Louisville)
NOT UPDATED
955 Bella Vista Dr, Louisville, CO 80027
Current notes: Learned from others that the bathrooms where frequently left unlocked at night. The structure around it also has enough places to tuck in to and is far enough from any observers it would go unnoticed. Haven't been there in a year so not sure if things have changed.
*************ORIGINAL NOTES FROM ORIGINAL POST**************
Pleasures by the Park on East Colfax and Adams St. near downtown is medium sized, and can be busy.
Pleasures on South Broadway and West Bayaud Ave is miniscule, 4 booths, I think. But both pairs have glory holes. (Years ago this was the largest Pleasures arcade in town with a couple dozen booths and lots of glory holes. It was ALWAYS super busy. But the vice squad made them get rid of all the arcade booths at that location. The just added the 4 booths a couple years ago.)
Pleasures on North Federal and West 66th Place rounds out the list of Pleasures in town with an arcade. It's tiny, 6 booths, but it can be busy.
There are a handful of other arcades that have glory holes. Adult World on North Federal and 66th Avenue is just a block south of that Pleasures location. Adult world costs $7 to enter their arcade in the basement. It's a fairly large arcade with several glory holes, and it's usually pretty busy.
Romantix on South Sante Fe and Mississippi is a large arcade with a few glory holes. It's sometimes busy, sometimes not. It costs $6 for a token card that runs out of credits pretty fast. You either need to add money to your token card or drop dollar bills.
Romantix in Capital Hill on East Colfax and Washington is small, but can be busy since it's about the only arcade left near downtown.
There are a number of other arcades i
