Tucked into a nonchalant C Street storefront in Nevada's historic Viginia City is the Silver Hotel, Saloon and Wedding Chapel, which still offers visitors to this Western mining frontier town 29 rooms from which to choose to stay in.

There are rooms filled with history that would delight any ghost-hunting buff, amateur or professional historian, a quick getaway from Reno or Carson City for a weekend stay or for a family who wants to enjoy the many family-friendly tourist attractions in Virginia City.

The hotel’s owner Connie Carlson has made a great effort to restore the 29 rooms and keep the saloon in authentic, top-notch condition.

In the saloon there is a painting that features a woman in an evening dress “decorated with 3,261 Morgan silver dollars minted in Carson City,” according to Google Generative AI. “The number of dollars honors the deepest mine in Virginia City, which was 3,261 feet deep.”

Although I do not believe in ghosts, it must be noted that the hotel is also famous for “its haunted reputation, especially for the ghost of Rosie, a prostitute who allegedly committed suicide in Room 11,” according to Wikipedia. “The hotel was originally built for Billy Chollar, who discovered the Chollar Silver Lode in 1861. Chollar later lost his mine and home to the bank.”

If you chose a different room to escape Rosie, then you might encounter her on the stairs, where she is also known to frequent!

The 1870s-era saloon counter and back bar are so massive that they both reportedly had to be built inside the saloon.
