Or go to the Long Branch Saloon and play a little Blackjack or Poker? So I was wondering why the Boothill exihibit doesn't offer food or drinks? Other museums have food courts, why not have one there? I would love to belly up at the Long Branch Saloon some time and have a beer or shot of whiskey. That would be just like the old times. With so many saloons back in the day, you could offer all sorts of different menus and such. Could have some Indians out front serving Indian Tacos or Buffalo burgers. Just an idea and was wondering if there was some law that prohibited that. Just was thinking that would take care of the casino issue as well.

Happening,

That's a great idea!!! The problem here in Dodge is that we fail to cater to visitors from out of town (people like you). Tourism is floundering in Dodge for that simple reason. It might take some effort and work on our CVB's (convention and visitors bureau) part. We're (the city) is to busy planning on how we're going pay to build the infrastructure for the new state owned (LOL)casino.
