Located in the authentic Wild West town of Virginia City, the Silver Queen Hotel is an iconic historic hotel with a long and fascinating past. A night spent in this 142-year old hotel is like stepping back in time. It doesn’t look like much has changed about this hotel since it was built in 1876. Any history buff should absolutely spend a night in one of Nevada’s longest running hotels. However, you might come to realize that there is something a little off about this place.

The Silver Queen Hotel has seen a lot of guests since it was constructed in 1876. Considered the oldest hotel in Nevada, it's located in one of the only remaining "Wild West" towns along a myriad of other historic structures.

However, the Silver Queen Hotel is known for much more than just being the oldest hotel in Nevada. It's also regarded as one of the spookiest haunts in the Silver State. The most famous "spirit" is a woman named Rosie, a prostitute who killed herself in Room 11.
