When selecting places I wanted to visit in September 2021, Deadwood was near the top of my list, because of the old wild west legends that once walked its streets. The “Legal” drinking business returned with the repeal of prohibition! In 1964 the city of Deadwood was designated a National Historic Landmark. Legal gambling, casinos and gaming halls returned in the 1980s. Deadwood retains its historic character while offering modern entertainment and services. The city which once contained nearly 10,000 residents. Today it is populated by less than 1,300, but still offers plenty of characters!
I stayed at the Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort, a nice place. I did not gamble but ate dinners within the establishment. It seemed to me that every other establishment in Deadwood has gambling and/or liquor. Even t-Shirt and souvenir shops, but all were PG rated!
