As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Here in Nevada, we certainly aren’t short on weird places to see. The list is endless of bizarre roadside attractions and oddly themed places. It’s these types of places that making living in Nevada such a special experience. After all, how many other states can say they are home to an extraterrestrial highway? We even have kooky places to spend the night, such as the wonderfully terrifying clown-themed hotel. The motel featured here is a lot less creepy than the one just mentioned. In fact, this retro-themed inn hotel is perfectly weird in all the right ways and you’ll definitely want to spend the night.

Are you looking for a place to stay during your next visit to the wonderful little town of Beatty? There may only be six lodging options in town, but the top-rated and most beloved has definitely got to be the Atomic Inn.

It may look like the Atomic Inn is straight out of the 1960s, but the hotel was originally completed in 1980. The original purpose of the motel was to lodge military personnel who worked at top secret places such as Area 51 and the Nevada Nuclear Test Site.

The Atomic Inn describes itself as "dedicated to great value and great service reminescent of the good 'ol days", and their message comes across clear. The rooms are simple but clean and they definitely look like they came straight out of the "Mad Men" era.
