As seen in the HBO series, "Deadwood." The entire town is a national historic landmark, true to its Wild West roots, right down to the replicas of turn-of-the-century street lamps. This is where Wild Bill Hickok was gunned down, and rumor says it's where the tradition of laying sawdust on bar floors began (barkeeps hoped it would hide spilled gold dust, which they could sweep up after closing time). It is once again a gambling town, so the raucous flavor of the Gold Rush era is replicated here as well, but it has a multitude of souvenir shops, gold panning, and Wild West re-enactments that appeal to the kids. Blend a rustic mini-Vegas, and Old West town, throw in lots of souvenir shops, and you have a feel for Deadwood. If the casino vibe bothers you, you might want to give this a pass.
