Virginia City, Nevada: A Trip to America's Old West

Virginia City, Nevada, looks like a place that was torn straight out of the pages of America’s legendary Old West.

Established as a silver and gold mining town more than 150 years ago by immigrants from around the world looking to make their fortunes, so much of Virginia City remains from that historic era that it can feel like walking onto an expansive Hollywood movie set.

Full of 19th century saloons, hotels, restaurants, rustic homes, mansions, an opera house, haunted houses and plenty of mines to visit, Virginia City offers a trip to a period of time that still fires the imagination of so many people today.

Samuel Clemens was so inspired by Virginia City that this is where he began his writing career and changed his name to Mark Twain.
