Welcome to the Mizpah Hotel
Lovingly restored to its original turn-of-the-century splendor, the historic Mizpah Hotel is known as “The
Grand Lady of the High Desert,” and she is again leading the way for the emergence of Tonopah as a premiere
destination locale. For over a century the Mizpah has been synonymous with luxury, service, and comfort.
With the addition of the Tonopah Brewing Company, and son Ramsey’s Mizpah Casino, the Cline family
invites you to a completely new Nevada experience rich in history and delight.
History of the Mizpah Hotel
In 1900, a desolate spot in the high desert overnight
became a rough-and-tumble mining camp when a
huge silver vein was discovered. Just seven years later,
with nearly 20,000 people seeking riches from the
strike, a group of investors, in order to attract the
elite and prestigious, decided to construct a luxury
hotel in what was now called Tonopah. It was Nevada’s
tallest and most elegant structure, the first with an
electric elevator and a star-studded lineup of big-city
entertainment, gaming, food, and a very impressive
guest list. When the silver ran out, Tonopah endured,
and so did the Mizpah Hotel.
Today, the Mizpah continues to startle and delight
travelers and guests with elegance, charm, unrivaled
hospitality, and mystery. She is still, as always, the
Grand Lady of the High Desert.

The Tonopah Historic
Mining Park
Right behind the hotel is The Tonopah
Historic Mining Park, located on the site of
the original mining claims that started the
rush to Tonopah. The park encompasses
portions of four of the original major mining
companies and covers more than 100 acres.
This rich history is brought to life through
preserved and restored equipment and
buildings, historic exhibits, video
presentations, and a self-guided tour.
Goldfield
Just a few miles down the road from
Tonopah is the ghost town of Goldfield,
where gold was discovered in 1902. Most
of the buildings, including the long-vacant
Goldfield Hotel, are weathered reminders
of Nevada’s boom-town past. On the
outskirts of town is the International Car
Forest of the Lost Church, a unique display
not to be missed.
Belmont
About 50 miles southeast of Tonopah is the
bonafide ghost town of Belmont, which
enjoyed its heyday with the discovery of
silver in 1865. Several major structures
remain, most notably the courthouse. It is
an erie snapshot of a long-gone era.
Legends of the Mizpah
The Lady in Red
Spirits have been said to roam the rooms and halls of the Mizpah. Our most famous is the Lady in Red. Her 'call'
name was Rose, her real name Evelyn Mae Johnston. Born in Baltimore in 1879, she was killed outside her 5th
floor room by a jealous beau on January 2, 1914. Her spirit is said to haunt her room (now 504), various other
rooms, and the fifth floor hallway. Sightings have sometimes been accompanied by a single pearl left on a pillow
or night stand.
Wyatt Earp
The storied lawman came to Tonopah shortly after the famous shootout at the OK Corral in Arizona. He
opened a saloon, helped enforce mining claims, and even did a little mining before moving on to greener
pastures.
“Fast is fine, but
accuracy is everything.”
-Wyatt Earp
Jack Dempsey
One of the world’s greatest boxing legends had some of his earliest bouts in Tonopah and Goldfield. After one
30-round match, Dempsey’s winnings were stolen by a masked gunman. Dempsey tried his hand at mining, and
is said to have been a bouncer for a brief time at the Mizpah
“All the time he’s
boxing, he’s thinking.
All the time he was
thinking, I was hitting
him.”
-Jack Dempsey
Key Pittman
Mississippi native Key Pittman moved to Tonopah in 1902 and became a major figure in Tonopah and throughout Nevada. Elected to the U.S Senate in 1913, he served there until his death in 1940. Senator Pittman was
an unrelenting advocate for Tonopah, and we salute his memory by naming our award-winning Pittman Cafe
in his honor.
Weiland Brewing Company
The first business in Tonopah was a brewery, a stone structure known as the Weiland Building, which still
stands near the Mizpah Hotel. The Clines hope to open the historic building as a recreation of Tonopah’s
original craft brewery.
History of Tonopah
In 1900, lawyer and rancher Jim Butler was out prospecting
in the high desert, when he noticed that a rock he was about
to heave at his wandering burro seemed strangely heavy.
Butler had stumbled on what was to be the west’s last great
mining boom. Over three decades, the Tonopah mines produced millions of dollars of silver ore, making owners and
investors wealthy and helping the U.S. recover from a devastating economic downturn. A railroad, prize fights, and
seemingly endless supplies of silver made Tonopah a familiar
name to Americans in the first decades of the 20th Century.
Names like Wyatt Earp, Jack Dempsey, Howard Hughes, and
Jack Longstreet have long been associated with Tonopah.
The mines began to give out in the 1930s, but WWII brought
a resurgence in the form of an army training base for pilots
and ordinance. And mining, though much diminished, still
plays a major role in the area in and around Tonopah. Not far
from town is the world’s largest solar power collection
facility, which began operation in 2015.
Today, Tonopah is poised for a major rebirth. California
vintners Fred and Nancy Cline, whose ancestors include
early Tonopah pioneers, are creating a unique family-friendly
destination, with all the charm and spirit of the wild west,
combined with modern-day luxuries and comforts. Tonopah
is ready to be back on the map!
