Bird Cage Theatre

The Bird Cage Theatre opened in December of 1881 and closed its doors in 1889. During its short business life, the Bird Cage was one of the wildest places in the west. The Bird Cage is named after its thirteen little cribs that hang from the ceiling where ladies of the night plied their trades. Twenty dollars a night, would buy a gentlemen a bottle of whiskey and a lady for the night. Different from the way Hollywood has portrayed it, no respectable lady would have ever entered the Bird Cage. The longest single poker game in history was played in the basement gaming area.

This nationally known historic Old West Landmark has been preserved. It was the site of 16 gunfights, 26 killings and the refrain of the "Bird in a Gilded Cage" song.
