Is there another secret ghost town I can visit in Nevada?

While Nevada has hundreds of ghost towns, there are some you may not have even heard of. Located in an isolated area of Western Nevada, Candelaria can be found along a dirt road in Nye County. It was once a silver mining town and even had a population of around 3,000 people. When the mines closed by 1900, the people left and Candelaria became a ghost town. 

What other secret restaurants in Nevada can I visit?

In the town of Alamo, there’s a hidden gem restaurant you may want to visit. Little A’Le’Inn serves delicious food in a restaurant decorated with aliens. It’s quirky, it’s fun, and it’s a must-visit.
