The Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada, is a quirky roadside attraction that’s become world-famous for its colorful, eerie charm. Known as the “Scariest Motel in America,” this spot combines cozy motel vibes with a spine-tingling theme, housing over 2,000 clown figurines, paintings, and dolls that fill the lobby and guest rooms.

Each room is decorated with clown art, some cheerful, others downright spooky. For extra thrills, the motel sits beside Tonopah’s Old Cemetery—a historic, allegedly haunted burial ground dating back to the early 1900s. Ghost hunters and thrill-seekers often stay here hoping for a supernatural experience.

Beyond the chills, The Clown Motel is also a gateway to Nevada’s mining history and rugged desert landscapes. With Tonopah’s starry skies and a bit of desert mystery, a night at The Clown Motel is as unforgettable as it is unique!
