For stargazing, the city lights pointing SouthEast were too bright to see the Milky Way on a New Moon night. The city built a neat "Star Gazing" park but the light pollution from the city makes it useless. With regard to light pollution, the city and nearby area is not a Bortle 1 as claimed in some articles. For viewing stars on New Moon nights, go to Death Valley. From Tonopah, a trip to Goldfield was a hoot! Must see.

We really enjoyed the Tonopah area. Lots of history. Don't miss the Mitzpah Hotel. Its really worth seeing. In the hallways to the Dining room off the bar, there are pictures of dozens of famous people that have stayed there, and their cancelled personal checks. It was very interesting. The hotel was built in 1906, and has a real charm to it. There is also a mining museum in town also. We could have spent a few days there.

A really interesting small town, evocative of the era of the old west. I was passing through a couple of years ago and thought I would like to do more. So glad I did return - a great little town. I stayed for 3 nights. I would recommend visiting the Silver mine and museum of central Nevada to appreciate what life was like for the pioneers. Town has great friendly bars and adequate restaurants but I wouldn't go there expecting fine dining.

I enjoy old mining history and ghost town locations. Tonopah has both. Two museums in town. The mining museum at the south end of town is very good. Mineral park museum behind the Mitzpah hotel is excellent as well.

Interesting "mini city" in the middle of the desert! Lots of history to investigate, walk the downtown strip and see what this little town has to offer - there's a bookstore, restaurants, various shops, and the awesome Mizpah hotel. Be sure to visit the Clown Motel and gift store (doesn't matter if you're not staying there). Have a chat with the owner and check out "Charlie" the haunted clown and his collection of clowns and scary paintings - the motel itself is a work of art. In the evening, take a short drive to the Tonopah Stargazing location equipped with benches and an alien to keep you company! A cool town well worth the visit.

Small town, but fine for a stop while driving. Not a lot of restaurants but the Tonopah Brewery had good beer and food (typical pub fare). Prices seemed to be $$$ for a pub, however, they have a happy hour when some of the the food is cheaper.
