The Slime Plant, a historic building in Deadwood, SD, is being restored, remodeled, and renovated into the Deadwood Mountain Grand Resort.

The developers hope to open in July 2009. This video shows the work that has been completed to date, including demolishing the previous interior offices, digging out the mountainside in the back to make room for the hotel, digging out the interior floor down one story to accommodate the casino, and removing the outside siding to prepare for a new exterior.

Stugis Rally comes to Deadwood

realdeadwoodpodcast@gmail.com (Paul Dennis) — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 12:46:55 -0700

Every August as many as 400,000 bikers come to the Black Hills of South Dakota for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. There is a huge spillover into all the communities of the Black Hills including Deadwood. Here is a glimpse of how Deadwood looks and sounds on one of the last days of the rally. The audio for this video is recorded binaurally, which means stereo microphones were positioned on either side of the head like human ears. The result is that, when listening with headphones, instead of the sound seeming to be inside your head, the sound is outside your head exactly as recorded.
