I ask to move. The Denny's closed so find a place across the street. I had a fantastic Chicken Parmigiana at Mr. Ginos

My wife and I spent two nights here while on a long weekend road trip from Vegas. Our room on the…read moretop floor (6th) was comfortable and fairly quiet as long as we didn't turn on the noisy, rattling AC unit. Fortunately at 6,000 ft elevation, it didn't get to hot for us. There is a single, groaning, old elevator to take you down to the smokiest casino lobby. We tried to hold out breath and run through it to the outside and fresh air everytime. There is free, convenient parking out the back of the hotel. The hotel is in the original old part of town on the west end. The town is easy to get from one end to the other so we were never more than a short ride away from wherever we needed to go in town. The staff here are friendly and generally helpful. Their lobby restaurant was closed for renovations while we were here in early June. No worries as the hotel across the street had a decent breakfast.

We visited a museum in Ely- and they directed us to this Drugstore Museum - they called Keith and…read morehe opened it and gave us a tour through this time capsule! Keith is super knowledgeable having grown up in McGill and wrote books and sends out newsletters to people who are interested in our history - Ladies - you'll love to make a gift bow with the bow-making machine, check out nail polishes and so much more. There is that soda machine - it's just how I imagine the good ole days! Picture perfect! - across the street is a pub with an INCREDIBLE bar and more history!!!!! Don't miss it! Right on Main Street!

Holy smoke this place is incredible!!! The memories it brought back about full service drug stores…read morewas good for my brain. The brands that were in here were all from the late 60' to late 70's

The Eureka Opera House was built in 1879 and refurbished to its current beauty in the early 1990s…read more Along with the Piper's in Virginia City, it is one of the 2 best restored and usable opera houses in Nevada. Things are a little slow with COVID right now, but in pre-pandemic times (and soon again), it hosts various music and community events/rentals. Gayle and I stopped by as part of our recent drive to Ely. We were free to walk around anywhere (with the assistance of a nice lady working there at the time) including the main floor, the hand-painted Curtin, the balcony (including the media room), backstage, and all the performer signatures down the stairs and out. I'd love to come back when the place is happily full, and watching a great performance.

Eureka, Nevada.....what a rustic little western-themed town. I was driving along the iconic -…read moreLoneliest Road In America and stopped here at the Eureka Opera House. My initial and only reason for heading inside this unique Opera House was to have my Loneliest Road "Survival Guide" booklet stamped identifying that I had passed through Eureka navigating along the 400 mile trek through Nevada. What I didn't realize.....upon having my survival guide stamped....the owner of this Opera House....a genuinely nice and friendly woman offered me a free tour throughout the grounds of this place. Wow....what an added bonus. I mean....I gave no thought into any of the incredible history and legacies that had been bestowed upon this site. I figured it was a small time joint. Yeah, literally it is.....but the amount of musical groups and performances that have played and passed through here was awakening. Eureka Opera House is quite famous in and of itself. The lady here was so generous and courteous with her time....showing me around and giving me a true history lesson about this locale. And incredible.....overall, the town of Eureka is so small and located sort of in the middle of nowhere....it's impossible to think how this Opera House could ever book any musical acts. But they have. The owner deserves recognition for keeping the lights burning brightly and maintaining the integrity of this landmark. Yeah...she gave me a private, free tour.....I walked up on stage and ventured behind the scenes. In the back, musical groups had signed their names all over the walls (think how the celebs do it on the James Corden Show). There are pictures and frames hung from all the famous bands, performers and guests that have played. This was a real treat to wander around and explore. Before leaving, there was a small donation box near the door and of course I was happy to put a few dollars in to help support this venue. Overall, this is not your typical "opera house". It's really an entertainment performance house for not just small up and coming acts, but from time to time legendary musicians and groups as well. And to be situated so secluded here in Eureka.....(if anyone's ever been to Eureka) this Opera House was a great roadside stop for anyone navigating along the Loneliest Road In America.
