the town
We humbly acknowledge that our team will be creating on the sacred land of the Tr’ondek Hwech’in.
Dawson City, Yukon was established during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.
The height of the gold rush lasted a few short years but during this brief period more than thirty thousand men and women arrived in the Klondike seeking fame and fortune. A city was born and legends were created that live on in the remaining historic buildings and through the stories that are retold and celebrated.
We at Fireweed Entertainment subscribe to the ideology “one foot in tradition and the other in progress”.
We believe this balance will ensure success for all involved in our productions over the next three years, particularly for the Gertie’s brand.
Gerties is distinguished as Canada’s oldest legal gaming establishment.
Gerties is an iconic visitor attraction, featuring a unique Klondike Gold Rush themed entertainment experience that includes high energy shows, licensed gaming with slots, poker, blackjack, red dog, multi-action blackjack and roulette, a full service bar and food.
The venue seats approximately 300 people. The main floor area has table games, slot machines, bar & seating area, as well as show seating at the front near the stage. A second floor balcony has some additional show seating.
