Deadwood, SD

[AKQJ10]

Thanks, Pat. Jeez, I had no idea SD had that many rooms, let alone Deadwood. I don't even think I'd heard of Deadwood. Are they planning to become the Vegas of the Upper Midwest or something?

Deadwood has had gambling since 1989. They increased the bet limit from 5 bucks to 100 in the mid 90s when Kevin Costner was trying to build another casino. I think there are 15 or 20 places with a significant number of slot machines / table games.

I think they already are the Vegas of the upper midwest but with more of a "wild west" feel. I think they have 3 shootouts in the street every day during the summer, next weekend is really huge, I think it is called "Wild Bill Days" or something, 3 days of concerts in the streets.

My favorite character, hands down.

Deadwood was the first non-reservation city to allow gambling outside of Nevada and Atlantic City. The casinos are taxed pretty heavily to pay for historic preservations in town.
