On a recent trip to Vegas, Borg and I happened upon this bar & grill in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. I was quite surprised, because of the name, that they weren't a Mexican restaurant. At least I don't think so. Didn't really get in the place, but, from outside, I figured it must be a seafood place since it had a kind of fishy smell.*

*What did the blind fighter pilot say as he walked by the fish market?
"Hello ladies."
Check out the smells at the FU Store.
I recently had the chance to kick back a few cold ones in Deadwood, South Dakota and decided on settling into the famous No. 10 Saloon. The bar has all the feel of an 1800’s location to include the chair Wild Bill Hickok was sitting in when Jack McCall blew his brain pan apart. I gambled a little and came away meeting my goal of drinking in another historic cantina on my continuing lifelong bar tour. When I got back to home base I decided to get the facts on the No. 10 and pass them on to you as a history lesson from FU. Below is the short breakdown of the Saloon and, I'm sad to say, I was not in the original and couldn’t have been if I tried. 
It was at this location that Wild Bill Hickok, famed gunfighter, who most certainly would have been a fighter pilot if he'd be lucky enough to live in that era, was shot by Jack McCall on August 2, 1876. The prior evening when Hickok was playing poker with several men, including McCall, Jack lost heavily. Wild Bill generously gave him back enough money to buy something to eat, but advised him not to play again until he could cover his losses. This obviously humiliated McCall who would take his revenge the next day.
McCall slowly walked around to the corner of the saloon where Hickok was playing his game. From under his coat, McCall pulled a double-action .45 pistol, shouted “Take that!” and shot Wild Bill Hickok in the back of the head, killing him instantly. Hickok had been holding a pair of eights, and a pair of Aces, which has ever since been known as the "dead man's hand."
