Diamond Tooth Gerties: Old fashioned evening out

by tompt

Every evening there are several shows in the Diamond Tooth Gerties. The show contains dancing girls, tapdancing and singing. It feels like being in a show during the Goldrush. Maybe goldminers in those days would have a great evening, for us it was just a nice show for 6 $.The show is staged in a casino. Nice to do if you want the Dawson experience to the fullest.

Downtown hotel Dawson City: Drink the sourtoe cocktail

by tompt

In the Downtown Hotel in Dawson you can take part in a tradition. For 10 $ you can drink a sourtoe cocktail. It is a real human toe in a glass of beverage. The tradition is her since 1973, when captain Dick discovered the toe of Louie Liken, a trapper and placer miner, who amputated it in the 1920's. The rules: Put the toe in any drink you like, and drink it. The drinker's lips must touch the toe. " You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow-- But the lips have gotta touch the toe."After captain Dick apporved your attempt you get a certificate.So did we drink it? NO. Why not?Because the whole thing was looking a bit too commercial. People were lined up to do the toe, and they had only a few moments to enjoy it. Then it was the next 10$.....

Diamond Tooth Gertie's: The Northernmost Casino in Canada

by Paul2001

To be honest Diamond Tooth Gertie's is something of a tourist trap cattering to the tastes' of the bus tour crowd that travel through the Yukon during the summer months. Still it is lots of fun. Essentially Diamond Tooth Gertie's is an attempt to recreate the feel of the Klondike as it was 100 years ago. Besides gambling, there is a floor show with costumed singers and dancers, a honkytonk piano and a bar. The gambling includes all the usual games such as blackjack, roulette and slot machines. The casino is opend from 7pm to 2am from May to September.A note about this picture. As you all no the sun goes down late in the summers in the Yukon. This photograph was actually taken at 10:30pm. The sun never actually came down that night
