The building known as Diamond Tooth Gerties was built in 1901 by the Arctic Brotherhood, a fraternal organization dedicated to improving social conditions in Dawson City and other northern mining communities. Over the years the building was the centre of Dawson's most important social gatherings.

The city obtained title to the building in 1951, after which it operated as a community hall until the city leased it to the Klondike Visitors Association in 1971, when it was transformed into the popular casino known as Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall. It was named after Gertie Lovejoy, one of Dawson's most famous dance-hall queens of the gold rush era. She got her nickname from having a diamond inserted between her two front teeth.
Since then the KVA has spent more than $1 million on major improvements to the building and its site. In 1992 the casino introduced slot machines. Revenue from Gerties is re-invested in the community to preserve historic sites, produce local events and tourist attractions, and to promote the Klondike as a visitor destination. In 1996, the KVA further improved the building with new air conditioning and ventilation at a cost of $225,000

The Palace Grand was opened in 1899 by impresario and gold seeker, Arizona Charlie Meadows and restored in 1962 as a National Historic Site. Once featuring everything from raucous wild-west shows to operas, the Palace Grand Theatre continues to host Klondike style entertainment to visitors and locals alike.

Daily during the summer visitor season Parks Canada offers guided tours of the theatre interpreting its colourful history, while in the evening visitors can step back in time as they enjoy a lively presentation of the Gaslight Follies.

A classic musical comedy performed in one of the most magnificent Theatres ever built!!

Over one hour of high-energy entertainment! The Gaslight Follies is a professional show that is original and written to reflect the lavish and exciting time of the gold rush era.

The Klondike Visitors Association, a not-for-profit society, presents the Gaslight Follies. All proceeds are invested in community attractions, events and marketing visitor services.
