Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall
I’m not much of a gambler by any means, but I love all the buzz and flashy lights of casinos. While we were in Dawson City, we went to a Victorian style Casino called, Diamond Tooth Gertie’s Gambling Hall. The entrance fee was $15 and well worth it! The entrance fee included an early 1900s period style performance and live music. We played a card game called “Over, Under”. I’ve never heard of this game, but it was pretty fun. During the performances, Saewan was one of the lucky people that got called up on on stage and danced with the dancers (video below).
A man that was traveling from Ontario with his 75 year old dad, sat with us and started chatting with us for some time after the performance. He was really inspired by us travelling around via campervan and told us his dad and himself wished they traveled more when they were younger and got a campervan or RV. It sounded like he regretted not travelling more in his younger years and so did his dad. Listening to stories like this makes me realize how important it is to do the things that you really want to do and to do them now. Don’t wait for tomorrow or when you think it’s “the right time”. The right time is now because tomorrow is not guaranteed.. Nothing is guaranteed in life, except the choices you make. Anyways, gambler or not, check this place out if you are in Dawson City!
