Deadwood: Modern Fun in the Wild West 
 
by Brian Thompson September 06, 2005

Casinos

Midnight Star—The Midnight Star is an experience all its own. The casino, which is owned by Kevin Costner and his brother, truly pays homage to the grandeur of the Old West. The casino features dark wood railings, polished brass, and beautiful etched glass.

In addition to its beauty, the casino is a museum filled with memorabilia from many of Kevin Costner’s movies, including the suit he wore in The Untouchables and his uniform from Dances with Wolves.

Finally, you can certainly enjoy five-star meals at Jakes, which sits on the third floor of the Midnight Star. Jakes features wonderfully prepared meals and an extensive wine list for those who want the best.

Saloon #10—If you want to truly step back in time to the mining camp days of Deadwood, then Saloon #10 is the ticket. Here, you will find a décor that dates back to the days when Wild Bill Hicock was shot holding the infamous Dead Man’s Hand.

After enjoying the gaming and spirits, you can relax in the Deadwood Social Club. This restaurant is warn and inviting, and features well-prepared steaks and a great wine list. For a little desert, the restaurant has its award-winning cheesecake and butterbrickle with caramel sauce.

Silverado—this casino, like so much else in Deadwood, has a storied past. The building sits at the interaction of two creeks. It is here that the first gold discovery was made in Deadwood. Later, as the town was developing, the building that currently houses the casino was a car dealership, and later was occupied by Montgomery Ward.

Today, the casino features a large gaming area, including the largest poker room in Deadwood. In addition, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dinner is a grand buffet featuring soups, salads, vegetables, chicken, and prime rib.
