I sure plan on sniffing 'em out.    After doing more research of Ely in general, it looks like a cool little town to hole up in for a couple of days. When I fly to NV, I fly to Vegas and go from there.  About half the trips I have done, I have driven as I travel a few different states for work.  I come from Wyoming or Nebraska. (farthest possible edge of my territory) When I drive Carson City/Sparks are out as it would add 600 miles to the round trip.

I guess everyone's idea of a cool place is different.  I didn't find much at all in Ely and couldn't imagine spending much time there.  There is a lot of hunting in the area though and on my one trip to Ely I did see someone that I'm sure was a movie actor filling up his truck at a gas station.  It's not a short drive there from Vegas, it's one of the longest 250 mile drives I've made.

It's different. It's some beautiful country but I wouldn't want to live there. Just too far away from civilization for my taste. And too Damn cold in the winter! It's been a good ten years [Ooop's, more like 15-20] since I've been there but ten years ago, they didn't even have a theater in town. They had one video store and everyone waited in line to grab all the new videos. I worked with a guy who's father in law ran the local glass shop in Ely. After a few years, he was even tired of it and moved back to the bay area.
He did happen to mention something funny. He said many of the men in Ely knew the Greyhound schedule by heart and would often just happen to be in the area when a bus pulled in to see if any new hookers were coming to town.

I will probably spend two days there to break up the Elko/Wells trip.  If nothing else, it will be something new to add to the NE NV trip.  After a couple of days, I'm sure I will be ready to move on.

I was wondering if anyone has any current info on Ely.  I have never been and wouldn't mind incorporating a trip there on my next road trip in the spring.  Thank you.

Midwest Man,

I've done a few trips to Ely and spent a few days there each trip. I usually visit in summer since the temps there are quite comfortable compared to elsewhere. Downtown Ely is a cool place to visit that has a very western feel to it--it's easy to imagine what it would have been like during the Old West days. When I'm in Ely I usually visit Lehman Caves, the Charcoal Ovens state park & the Great Basin National Park (approx. 70 miles east of Ely). The Great Basin National Park has numerous hiking trails including a short self-guided trail through a Bristlecone Pine forest and another short trail around some alpine lakes, and a great scenic drive with fantastic views of Wheeler Peak. I've also heard one can ride the trains that are in the Ely area too.  Food & lodging were decent at the Jailhouse hotel with the brothels just a short walk away. At one of the casinos in Ely I found a penny slot to entertain myself with until I got bored with it (and didn't loose more than $1).

As far as the Ely brothels, I've visited the Stardust and the Big4. The Green Lantern wasn't open during any of my visits. Both the Stardust & the Big4 are worth a visit even if just to have a drink. I especially enjoyed visiting at the Big4 but haven't partied there. I partied once at the Stardust back in 1999 but haven't partied there since.

I've posted about some of the things I've done while visiting Ely in the following thread on this forum:

Hiking Guy:

Excellent information, thank you.

I plan on hitting up Ely sometime next summer.  I will go to Elko and Wells, but thought it would be fun to check out something new as well.  I am going to make it a long driving road trip, when I drive, I stay on the NE side.  Thanks again.
