Nelson, NV
Nelson is a privately preserved Nevada ghost town in Eldorado Canyon, 45 minutes south of Las Vegas. Built around the Techatticup Mine, discovered in 1861, the camp produced some of the richest gold ore in the early Nevada Territory. Nelson is preserved by owners Tony and Bobbie Werly, who acquired the property in 1994.
Beatty, NV
Rhyolite, Nevada was a Bullfrog Mining District boom town that grew from a two-tent prospecting camp in early 1905 to the third-largest city in Nevada by 1908, with electric lights, concrete sidewalks, an opera house, and three banks. The 1907 financial panic and exhaustion of the gold ore led to a rapid collapse, and the town was effectively abandoned by 1916.
Las Vegas, NV
The Bellagio opened in 1998 as a $1.6 billion luxury resort on the site of the Dunes Hotel, one of the Strip's original properties. The Dunes operated from 1955 until its closure in 1993, followed by a televised implosion on October 27, 1993. Steve Wynn built the Bellagio on the cleared lot, which opened with its iconic fountain displays on the exact location where the Dunes once stood.
Gold Hill, NV
The Gold Hill Hotel in Storey County, Nevada is recognized as the oldest hotel in the state, with the original stone Riesen House structure under construction by July 1861. The property sits within the Comstock Historic District above workings of the Yellow Jacket Mine, where a fire on April 7, 1869 killed dozens of miners.
Goldfield, NV
Goldfield is a former gold-mining boomtown in Esmeralda County, Nevada, established in 1902 and briefly the largest city in the state, with a peak population of about 20,000 in 1906. Mining declined sharply after 1910; a 1913 flash flood and a 1923 fire destroyed much of the town. Fewer than 300 residents remain, making Goldfield one of the most-visited still-occupied ghost towns in the American West.
Fallon, NV
Grimes Point is a 720-acre archaeological site in Churchill County, Nevada, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972. Approximately 150 basalt boulders along the trail bear petroglyphs carved between roughly 3,000 and 8,000 years ago, on what was once the shoreline of Pleistocene Lake Lahontan. Hidden Cave, discovered by modern visitors in the 1920s, yielded artifacts dated to approximately 9,470 years old, including a rare diamond-plaited matting specimen.
Las Vegas, NV
The Aladdin Hotel opened in Las Vegas in 1966 as a major resort and casino property. The hotel underwent renovations and continued operations until its closure in 2003. Planet Hollywood Entertainment acquired the property in 2005, completely renovating and reopening it in 2007 as Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The 7th floor Panorama Suite emerged as the property's most paranormally active location during Aladdin Hotel operations.
Las Vegas, NV
Caesars Palace opened on August 5, 1966, as a $24 million landmark resort developed by Jay Sarno. It was one of the first Las Vegas properties to incorporate a fully developed Roman Empire theme and the largest hotel built as a single unified project in Nevada at the time, featuring 700 rooms across 14 crescent-shaped floors.
Las Vegas, NV
The Flamingo Las Vegas opened on December 26, 1946, under the direction of Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel, making it the oldest continuously operating resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Siegel was murdered in Beverly Hills in June 1947, just months after the casino began turning a profit. The original hotel cost far more than projected — early estimates of $1.5 million ballooned to roughly $6 million — and the syndicate's patience ran out before Siegel could see his vision fully realized.
Las Vegas, NV
The Las Vegas Academy of the Arts occupies the original Las Vegas High School building at 315 South 7th Street, completed in 1930. Designed by Reno architects George A. Ferris and Son in an 'Aztec Moderne' style blending Art Deco and Southwestern motifs, the campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and represents downtown Las Vegas's best surviving example of 1930s civic architecture.
Virginia City, NV
The Bonanza Saloon was constructed in 1870 during Virginia City's peak mining prosperity, when the town supported over 100 saloons following the Big Bonanza discovery. The building has hosted numerous businesses over 150 years and remains a prominent fixture on C Street in Virginia City's historic downtown.
Virginia City, NV
The Fourth Ward School was dedicated on November 28, 1876, during the peak of the Comstock Lode silver boom that briefly made Virginia City one of the wealthiest cities in the American West. Architect C.M. Bennett designed the four-story Second Empire building with a distinctive mansard roof; it could accommodate more than 1,000 students and was among the most sophisticated school buildings in the region. The school closed in 1936 and reopened as a museum in 1986.
Virginia City, NV
The building at 76 North C Street in Virginia City, Nevada has operated as a saloon and entertainment venue under various names since the Comstock Lode era. Known at different periods as the Comstock House Hotel, Kitty's Longbranch, and the Red Dog Saloon, the property has been continuously occupied since the mid-19th century and sits in one of the American West's best-preserved Victorian mining towns.
Virginia City, NV
The Washoe Club opened on B Street in Virginia City, Nevada on June 1, 1875 as a private social institution serving Comstock Lode mining magnates and visiting dignitaries. The original location burned in the Great Fire of October 1875; the club rebuilt in 1876 above a tavern on C Street, where it operated until 1897. The building today functions as a museum and saloon.
Carson City, NV
Abraham Curry built his Carson City home in 1871, two years before his death in 1873. Curry was arguably the most consequential figure in early Nevada history — he laid out the town of Carson City in 1858, donated the land for the state capitol, supervised construction of the Nevada State Prison and the US Mint, and served as the first warden of the prison. The one-story masonry house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
Carson City, NV
The Nevada Governor's Mansion at 606 Mountain Street in Carson City has been the official residence of Nevada's governors since 1909. Designed by Reno architect George A. Ferris in Classical Revival style, the mansion was authorized by State Assembly Bill 10 (the Mansion Bill) in 1907 and completed in 1909. Acting Governor Denver Dickerson and his family moved in that July.
Tonopah, NV
The Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah, Nevada was constructed in 1905 at a cost of $200,000, financed by mining magnates George Wingfield, George S. Nixon, Cal Brougher, and Bob Govan. The reinforced concrete and stone structure was Nevada's tallest building until 1927. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, fell dormant in 1999, and reopened in August 2011 after a $4 million restoration by Fred and Nancy Cline.
Tonopah, NV
The Mizpah Hotel opened in 1907 in the silver-mining boomtown of Tonopah, Nevada. With five Victorian-styled floors it was the tallest building in Nevada for the next 25 years, featuring all-electric lighting, steam heat, and the first electric elevator in the western United States.
Austin, NV
The International Hotel in Austin, Nevada is recognized as the oldest hotel in the state. Its wooden portion was originally part of an 1860 hotel in Virginia City, dismantled in 1863 and reconstructed in Austin during the Reese River silver rush. The building still stands on Main Street and is a Nevada State Historical Marker site. Today it operates as the International Cafe & Bar - the lodging component is no longer offered, with travelers using motels across the street.
Goodsprings, NV
The Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, Nevada, was built in 1913 by Clark County commissioner George Fayle and is one of the oldest continuously operating saloons in the state. It is closely associated with actress Carole Lombard, whose 1942 plane crash at nearby Mount Potosi was coordinated, in part, from the building.
Henderson, NV
Foxridge Park opened in September 1986 as part of Henderson's Green Valley development, a planned suburb east of Las Vegas. The 42-acre recreational area was conceived as a community amenity and has hosted Shakespeare in the Park productions and other civic events. The park is maintained by the City of Henderson.
