Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield Nevada: Located a short drive north of Las Vegas is the rundown town of Goldfield.

Located a short drive north of Las Vegas is the rundown town of Goldfield. Visiting this area is a good way to spend a day away from the bright lights and bustle of Las Vegas. Goldfield was a boomtown in the first decade of the 20th century due to the discovery of gold — between 1903 and 1940, Goldfield’s mines produced more than $86 million. Much of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1924, although several buildings survived and remain today, notably the Goldfield Hotel, the Consolidated Mines Building (the communications center of the town until 1963), and the schoolhouse. Gold exploration still continues in and around the town today. for more detailed information visit the Goldfield Historical Society website. Source: nevadamagazine.com via Nevada on Pinterest
