InterContinental Hotels Group has opened a resort in Deadwood, SD, about 45 minutes from Mount Rushmore.
The Holiday Inn parent company spent $50 million renovating the 245,000-square-foot, Wild-West-themed property, a former mining building with 98 guest rooms and five suites.
The Deadwood Mountain Grand, a Holiday Inn Resort, boasts a fitness center, a business center and meeting facilities, an indoor pool, a spa, a casino and an event center that can accommodate over 2,000 people.
The historic town of Deadwood was founded two years after the discovery of gold during the 1874 Custer Expedition.
The gold-filled gulch has played host to Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok, who was shot dead there in the middle of a poker game.
