Authentic UNAUTHORIZED Photos of the Wild West

. . .Bally's Wild West, that is.

Finding ourselves in Atlantic City sometime back, my wife and I took the obligatory stroll down the boardwalk. And look what we found:

The Oregon Trail (we thought we'd left it behind).

The Cash Express

Blazing 7s

Wall mural 1

Wall mural 2: Is that Kevin Costner?

This hombre looks familiar.

Some of the gamblers have been here a LONG time.

The floor show.

Hey, Miss Kitty! Where's Matt?

Right about here, the 'Sheriff' accosted us, saying if we didn't stop taking pictures we'd have to leave. We did both.

  2. It never once occurred to me watching GUNSMOKE for a million years, that Miss Kitty was not just a saloon owner.

  3. On the radio Kitty's occupation was much more obvious. She didn't become a partner in the saloon until the show went to TV.
