For experienced roadtrippers, the Dempster Highway is a legendary drive. It connects Inuvik, NT to Dawson City, YT across mountains, rivers, and unpaved roads. It’s only open in summer and fall, and services are minimal — but the rewards are unmatched.
This route is all about isolation and natural wonder — until you arrive in Dawson City, where a historic casino adds unexpected flair to the wilderness.
🎰 Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall – Dawson City, YT
Canada’s oldest casino and a true northern treasure. Live can-can shows, costumed staff, and old-time decor bring the gold rush era to life. It’s more of a cabaret theatre with gaming than a standard casino.
