Deadwood for dinner and dallying...
The day ended in Deadwood... an entire city on the National Historic Register... a historically significant city carefully, accurately restored. While the gold rush of 1876 brought the likes of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, it also provided the wealth to construct a thriving commercial center in the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
A town known for its lawlessness and famous legends. A town who outlawed gambling in 1947 just to bring it back in 1989 (for economic reasons) and whose last prostitution house didn't close until 1980. Wild history.
We dined in a treasure, Diamond Lil's in the Midnight Star Casino, part of an entire building owned by the actor Kevin Costner. The casino is named after the saloon in his breakout film, Silverado, and its restaurant and sports bar are named after characters in the movie. We dined amongst memorabilia of the movies he has starred in. Being a fan, this was pretty cool for me.
