• The Slime Plant, a historic building in Deadwood, SD, is being restored, remodeled, and renovated into the Deadwood Mountain Grand Resort. The $40 million project will ultimately feature a 100-room hotel, a creekside restaurant, an indoor-outdoor bar with a view of the downtown historic district, a multi-level parking structure, and a 2500-seat entertainment complex. This is sure to provide one of the most sought-after accommodation spots in the area. With a built-in casino, guests will be able to play poker or blackjack without leaving their hotel. The developers hope to open in July 2011. This video shows some of the early work in the restoration project, 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.
