Started in the 1860s when mining turned Virginia City into a boomtown, this cemetery was the final resting place of many of those frontiersman and women. With a sharp rise in population, the need for a cemetery quickly became a reality. Many of those placed here were born well before the early 1900s and many were born elsewhere. The motley assortment of materials used to make the markers reveal the styles that were popular in the late 1800s.

Built in 1876, this saloon is a mixture of Old West charm and modern-day tech. With live music and actors dressed in post-Civil War era costumes, it's really like stepping back 150 years. Naturally, you should order the Bloody Mary if you get the opportunity to visit - its secret recipe is said to be the best in the West!

If you're a clown lover, here's a place for you to stay! Clowns are everywhere: on the doors, on the walls, clown dolls on shelves, and in the lobby. Over 600 of them have been reported. The rooms aren't much but the place sure is quiet, probably due to its location (the hotel stands next to Tonopah's now closed cemetery). One thing is certain and that is - if you hate and fear clowns - run!

This junkyard doesn't pretend to be something that it's not - you'll see a sign as you enter that loudly proclaims it the "World's Largest National Junk Car Forest." On 80 acres owned by artist Michael Rippie, the International Car Forest of the Last Church is a sanctuary for all artists who only want to practice their craft in peace.

Rhyolite was one of the boomtown failures - a product of the discovery of quartz and gold and then a victim of the fast collapse of the town's banking industry. Some of the original buildings from the early 1900s are still standing although in great disrepair.

A group of Belgian artists in search of creative freedom created seven colossal sculptures within the upper Mojave desert which marks Goldwell as a definite destination for art lovers. Artists from the world over continue visiting decades later as a number of residency and workspace programs are offered in the nearby Red Barn Art Center. The park is open 24/7 and the sculpture park is open and free to the public.

What alien WOULDN'T stop here? Hamburgers, snacks, beverages, restrooms, and low gas prices - this might be a virtual paradise for a Martian longing for the barren red landscape of home. It's also open 24/7 so no aliens need to worry about galactic time zones. And for those aliens pining for companionship there is the "Alien Cathouse Brothel" (just for show).

Nevada sure has some weird tourist attractions and Coffinwood ranks among the weirdest. Operated by Dusty and Bryan Schoening, this custom coffin business includes a cemetery, six hearses, the Church of the Coffin, coffin pillars and gargoyles, and corpse-related products. You'll also find a memorial and pet cemetery and they even perform weddings! What fun - the morbid, the merrier!

The Diamond Inn Motel was built in 1940 and is one of the oldest buildings still standing on the Strip. The pink elephant was actually a Disney World resident which arrived at the hotel during the 1950s where it quickly became kinda sorta the hotel's mascot. It is said that the pink pachyderm had a trumpeting sound mechanism that the county ordered to be removed because the trumpeting was causing accidents on the boulevard in front of the elephant.
