I stayed here August 7th to the 11th during the Sturgis Bike Week. With that said - the price of the room was highly inflated. I knew that when I booked it.
I was in building 3 which is one of the new buildings. Check in was smooth. The room was clean and inviting. The bed was very comfortable. I would give this place a 3 star "rating" compared to the many other places I stay at.
The hotel is at least a mile from the downtown area. I know this because I walk alot and I know it takes me approx. 15 min to walk a mile at a casual pace....and it took 15 min to get downtown. But there are other places close to First Gold. Cadillac Jacks is “next” door (about a 4-5 min walk).
The room is only a couple minute walk to/from the casino and the hotel does offer a golf card ride back and forth from the rooms to the First Gold Casino for those can don’t want to or can’t walk far. The hotel is on a hill and maybe challenging for some. And there are a lot of steps if you choose to pass on the elevators.
The casino is nice, like all the other places in town. Lots of options from penny machines to $1 machines. They have the basic table games that South Dakota allows. I’m not a gambler, but my husband stayed entertained.
We ate the breakfast buffet 3 days. It is affordable, right around $15.00 for the two of us plus a tip. The food was ok. I opted for the fresh made omelet because I did not like the eggs they had in the trays. Bacon, sausage, fruit, toast…the usual.
I would stay here again if I decided to visit Deadwood again.
