We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Tombstone is home to multiple competing versions of a 30-second fight, ranging from 'historical to hysterical.' One reviewer noted the show was short an outlaw, which is the most Tombstone thing imaginable: a town that has been milking the same gunfight since 1881 and still can't get the cast list right.
Tombstone's motto is 'too tough to die,' which is brave for a place where visitors say the mannequins look like zombies and everything 'needed dusting or washing off.' The silver mines flooded in the 1880s, so the new ore is $10 tickets and a gift shop selling the same turquoise rattlesnake keychain on every block.
The Bird Cage Theatre ran around the clock through the 1880s, is now a haunted attraction where the piano allegedly plays itself, and has more bullet holes than a Tombstone gunfight script. Honestly, it's the only business in town that never has trouble finding its actors, since the ghosts work for free and never ask for tips like the guys in the street.
You can order a steak at Big Nose Kate's while a piano man plays, a waitress in period costume refills your drink, and the house ghost, a dead handyman named Swamper, guards his silver in the basement. It's the only restaurant where the Yelp review says 'great food' and the other review says 'something touched me,' and both are considered a good night out.
