Back in the early 1900s, Buffalo Bill was the most famous man in the world. When he decided to establish a getaway town and a build an enormous, regal hotel, he chose Wyoming, because he loved the Cowboy State. Today, you can visit his famous city, enjoy a Western show in the streets, and feast on their famous prime rib at Buffalo Bill’s Irma Hotel.
The famous Irma Hotel is the grandest hotel in the Rocky Mountains. It was built by Buffalo Bill and immediately gained the attention of Americans seeking a Western adventure.
Today, you can enjoy a Western adventure of your own, every night, right in front of the hotel! Get there before dinnertime to watch an entertaining performance by some of the Wild West's most famous characters.
Take your seat before the show starts at 6 p.m., and watch as Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, and Butch Cassidy all meet in the streets of old time Wyoming.
You can reserve a seat for $2 by visiting the Cody Trolley Company booth by the hotel, or you can enjoy plenty of standing room around the hotel's porch and sidewalk. The shows run from June 4th to September 22, Monday through Saturday, and they start at 6 p.m. sharp!
Each half-hour show ends with an exciting shootout.

After the show, head inside to enjoy a delicious Wyoming dinner in these historic digs.
Like any good Cowboy, Buffalo Bill himself was a big fan of steak. Now, his famous restaurant is known for making one of the best prime ribs you'll ever try.
The Irma has figured out the best way of slow roasting and seasoning the cut, and with salads, potatoes, veggies and more sides offered, you'll never leave the Irma hungry.
While you're here, look around to take in all the history that surrounds you.
