Hotel Nevada and Gambling Hall, Heritage hotel in downtown Ely, Nevada, United States.
Hotel Nevada and Gambling Hall is a six-story building with 64 rooms located in downtown Ely, Nevada. The rooms feature early 20th century design elements and furnishings, while the ground floor holds a casino with slot machines and table games alongside a Denny's restaurant.
Built in 1929, the structure stood as Nevada's tallest building until 1931 when taller ones were constructed. It opened during Prohibition, when alcohol and gambling were restricted across much of the United States.
The building features a walk of fame sidewalk honoring notable guests like Ingrid Bergman and Gary Cooper who stayed here over the decades. These names reflect the hotel's role as a significant stopping point for travelers passing through the region.
The hotel sits directly on U.S. Route 50, making it easy to locate and stop at while driving. The downtown location means shops and services are within walking distance, and parking is available on-site.
The building preserves its original 1929 architectural design and interior features largely unchanged since opening. This makes it a rare place to see the actual look and materials of that era before major renovations became common across the state.
