GI Golden Island Resort & Casino
Deadwood, South Dakota · Est. 1991

A Black Hills Boomtown Address for Rooms, Dining & Gaming

Golden Island Resort & Casino sits on Deadwood's historic Upper Main Street, built on the ground of an 1876 gold claim old-timers once called simply "the Island." Hillside rooms, a full bathhouse spa, four dining rooms, and a historic-style gaming floor keep the block lit long after the storefronts close for the night.

The Golden Island Difference

Nobody Comes Here for Just One Thing

Most places on this block picked a single lane years ago and stuck with it — either it's a gaming hall with rooms attached, or a hotel that happens to have slots in the lobby. We went a different direction. Someone can be face down in a book by the pool while someone else in their party is three hands deep at blackjack, and both of them show up for the same dinner reservation an hour later.

Pulled Straight From the Front Desk Log

★★★★★

Told the front desk it was a work trip. Ended up extending two extra nights because of the bathhouse. Nobody at the office believed me.

Our kids ask about the glass-roofed pool more than they ask about Mount Rushmore, and we did both on the same trip. Take that as you will.

Wandered into the Historic Machines Corner half expecting a gimmick. Ended up reading every plaque before I made it to a single table.
