Spent the better part of a week with the Otteson guys (Tommy, Danny and Tristan). We learned so much about the business and these beautiful stones! These guys could't have been any more accommodating. My wife and I love to mine/rock hunt. This was our best experience ever!

The town of Tonopah has a colorful history and the Mining park is definitely worth a visit. It is very much a local site but interesting with the displays and the tour of the area. Great to see the town take such pride in it's early days. The curator was friendly and helpful. Interesting local movie which I so enjoy.

100% better than the entrance fee! We really enjoyed wandering through the mining history of central Nevada. It's Nevada stark but looking at the steam shovel reminds me of childhood stories. The stamps are huge.

This place is awesome! A little over 80 miles of Tonopah, Nevada. You can enjoy this wonder of the nature. You have to be prepared for a dirt road of 9 miles but is completely wort it!

I went and spent a few hours walking around during the day. A lot of graves here to see. Nothing happened during the day. I came back at 4 am to take some photos and got a bunch of orbs. I was only there for maybe 30 seconds. Next time I am going to spend some time at night here.

The only place in Nevada I found 3D slot machines. This place had two and they were a blast. I'm not much of a gambler but those 3D slots gave me a lot of bang for the buck.

I have driven by this casino numerous times, traveling from Reno to Vegas and never stopped. I recently stayed overnight in Tonopah because I wanted to explore this formerly very productive silver mining town, and stayed overnight at the grand Mizpah Hotel and ate breakfast here. It was hearty, reasonable, fresh, and very tasty. What another pleasant surprise after discovering the Mizpah Hotel too. This won't be my last overnight in Tonopah!
