AMARGOSA OPERA HOUSE HOTEL

Special place. Incredible Opera House with a very interesting story. A poem of what is it to have the call to be an artist.

Really a nice place

We had a very poor experience staying at the hotel (March 2024) and I recommend you stay elsewhere. This is very disappointing, as we are huge fans of unusual and historic hotels. We expected a bit of "character" to this old and remote place -- but, considering the price they charge for rooms, the disrepair, neglect, and poor service are unacceptable for ~$150.

Just stop, take some pictures, and keep moving. Really seems to have fallen off a cliff since the passing of the founder in 2017, or maybe the area flooding last year.

If you do stay, expect an absolutely rancid hallway (carpet that has obviously, by the mold-smell, been flooded or leaked on or something ongoing), no TV, unusable WiFi, and a Russian Novel of "don't do this, don't do that's." They have a fireplace, but won't let you use it at night... you know, when it's cold. The cafe is closed. The lamps are broken. You can hear quiet conversations from the hallway and connecting rooms since nothing closes right. They won't even give you a tour or tell you about the history of the building without another upsell.

This is a real shame. I hope the org that runs the place can improve, as it deserves to be preserved. But for travelers on a budget looking for a warm comfortable splurge after camping... you'll get much better facilities and services up the road.

Not at all ADA compliant, and I would be worried about bringing children here.

Room is clean and the staff is helpful

I went for the tour and it blew my mind! Such a talented eccentric who turned this place into a work of art inside! You would never know driving by as it looks deserted. The photos here are just the lobby which is nothing compared to inside the opera house. Well worth the stop!
