Teambuilding and recreational opportunities are easy to find in Tonopah. One of its most popular attractions is Historic Mining Park, where visitors can take a guided tour to learn about the 113 original mining claims of the town’s founding father, Jim Butler. Another top attraction is Central Nevada Museum. “Providing that you are feeling daring, check out the world-famous Clown Motel, which sits next to the Old Miner’s Cemetery and dates from 1901 to 1911,” Roberts adds. “Grab a pamphlet and learn about the people laid to rest there. There is also a variety of ghost tours the Mizpah Hotel offers.”
Tonopah has a number of culinary staples popular with locals and tourists alike, Roberts shares. “For breakfast and lunch, Strawberry Hill Diner serves anything, from traditional breakfast to south of the border Mexican lunch,” she says. “Looking for a nice dinner? Check out Jack Dempsey Room, open nightly at Mizpah Hotel. More interested in pizza and beer? Look no further than Tonopah Brewing Company. Visitors needing a morning pick-me-up can get a coffee and breakfast at either Beans and Brew or Belvada Coffee Shop. Whatever you are looking for, we have it here.”
