The Landmark Hotel and Casino stands as a striking blend of historical charm and modern luxury in Deadwood. Housed in the Adams Block building, which dates back to 1894, the Landmark has been meticulously restored to honor its storied past while offering an elevated experience for today’s visitors. Originally built as a warehouse for W.E. Adams’ grocery distribution business, the building has evolved over the years from a bustling commercial space to one of Deadwood’s premier hotels and casinos.
What makes the Landmark truly special is its fusion of old west elegance with high-end amenities. The property has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation, retaining the building’s historical facade while introducing state-of-the-art facilities. The Landmark’s gaming floor boasts the latest slot machines, table games and a sleek venue for sports betting, creating an exciting yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Opening on New Years Eve, the Landmark expanded with a new hotel, adding luxury rooms and a premier lounge space. These new additions, coupled with plans for an adjacent entertainment district, position the Landmark as a year-round destination for both tourists and locals alike. The property’s owners envisioned it as a place that brings the excitement of Las Vegas-style luxury to Deadwood, and they’ve succeeded in creating an unparalleled experience in the area.
John Sheldon, the General Manager, plays a key role in bringing this vision to life. With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality and casino industries, John’s leadership is a driving force behind the Landmark’s success. Having worked with major names like MGM, Caesars and Mirage Resorts, he brings a wealth of knowledge in both luxury hospitality and gaming. His dedication to excellence and to building a strong, local team has helped establish the Landmark as a standout property in Deadwood. Under John’s direction, the Landmark not only honors Deadwood’s rich history but also redefines what a modern casino and hotel can be.
“The growth is here,” John said. “Every year, there’s more visitors, more events and more energy. Deadwood is evolving, and it’s exciting to be part of that progress — creating something truly one-of-a-kind and elevating the experience for everyone who walks through our doors.”
