Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Any word on if/when they are reopening? Or did it slide into the sunset. Just started watching El Dorado and seeing the scenery and those beautiful mountains and thought I would ask. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucson isn't so fun in the summer. March is nice and the cacti will be in bloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I visited Old Tucson twice while on the way to WR and both times was in cowboy clothes, went healed and got in free showing my SASS ID. Was great, got a lot of questions as if I was working there as well as request for photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sloe Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I believe they are either open or opening soon. Give them a call at (520) 883-0100. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Cat Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 One of my fondest memories was being 12 or 13 at Old Tucson and a Saloon Girl called me on stage for a gunfight. She handed me the gun and said, "Fire on the count of three." When I fired, a banner unfurled that said "Bang" and totally caught me by surprise. I was under the impression that it was loaded with blanks and I probably looked completely shocked; the entire audience burst into laughter.

Great story Scout I remember one Saturday night in Tombstone; you and I were at opposite ends of a table of about 15 Texans. We came in full costume after shooting at the livery. We got a lot of stares from the tourists. Finally, one lady from another table walked over and asked me if we were “part of the show?”. I simply answered, “No ma’am, we use real bullets.” Her eyes got big and she just slipped back to her own table. The expression on her face made it all worthwhile .
