Come park your RV or book a room and sit yourself by one of the many, many video poker and slot machines at the Model T. When you need some refreshment, stop by the 24-hour coffee shop.

But you'll also see an ichthyosaur modeled life-size and other fossils, and you'll walk through a life-sized ghost-town. These are just the beginning of the exhibits. Yo...

Fossils of the American Mastodon are housed in one exhibit and a wildlife collection is housed in the Wanamaker Wing, but the museum's range doesn't stop at natural history. Walk through a small host of exhibits on Western history, from saddles to beadwork.

Stockman's Casino is a wonderful place to gamble and stay. You'll find a number of different types of slots here, as well as table games. But after you're done, kick back and relax in one of the two fine restaurants on its premises, one of them a steakhouse.

Watch both traditional racing and extravaganza-esque events at the Top Gun Speedway. If, after watching the races, you're itching to try it yourself, you can even attend racing classes.

The Western Folklife Center is best known for Cowboy Poetry Gathering (and Cowboy Poetry is well-known indeed), but don't think that if you miss the Gathering, you miss all the Folklife Center has. Museum-like exhibits settle portions of the center and folk performances are held often.
