Wild West show
Buffalo Bill's entertainment
A Wild West show was a traveling entertainment popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s featuring romanticized reenactments of frontier life—staged gunfights, trick riding, sharpshooting, and encounters with Native Americans.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West was the most famous.
The term now describes anything with similar theatrical chaos or cowboy theatrics: The city council meeting turned into a Wild West show.
