Rapid City, South Dakota's second-largest city, rests amid the state's (and the country's) oldest mountain range the Black Hills. This formation, with its abundant minerals and rugged terrain, has shaped much of the region's history. In fact, Rapid City's early prominence came from the Hills, although gold rather than rich mineral reserves generated the fame. Intent on seeking wealth, early prospectors defied government prohibitions against white settlements, which were enacted following hundreds of bloody conflicts with the indigenous Lakota. Although things have settled down in subsequent years, the area's natural beauty remains constant. More than 300 miles of streams (including Rapid Creek, which gave the town its name) thread through the Black Hills, making Rapid City a common jumping-off point for trout fishing. Hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing also contribute to the town's status as one of South Dakota's most vibrant, most visited cities. And, of course, Mount Rushmore, a tribute to democracy and the American will, attracts folks with its monumental stature and impressive spectacle.

After Kevin Costner filmed "Dances with Wolves" in the region, he and his brother, Dan, opened a casino in Deadwood called the Midnight Star. The Main Street complex boasts gaming facilities, a sports bar, and an upscale restaurant and includes a wealth of memorabilia from Costner's life and films. The casino helped breathe new life into Deadwood, which had foundered for years until legal gambling was reintroduced in 1989.
