NEVADA: Towns Where The Old Wild West Still Lives

I was born in Tulsa but we moved to this area as a kid and absolutely loved it. I am still in Nevada today and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Thanks for sharing!

I was married at the Silver Queen in Virginia City in 2002, Since divorced but it's nice to see this place once again. If you like this type of town, and you are anywhere near Arkansas, you must visit Eureka Springs.

It's so cool to be able to “travel” a little through the US with your videos. 😆 greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

If I could live anywhere in the world, I think it would be Virginia City. I cannot wait to visit. I wish I had time to visit last time, but Reno was a really cool place.

Hi to both of you. Have to say, Highway 395 from Reno to Lone Pine following the Eastern Sierras is beautiful!! Along the way you pass Genoa, an old Mormon settlement, that claims to have the oldest continuous bar in Nevada. Be safe out there.

These videos are cool. I live in St George, UT, grew up in Carson City where I met my wife, and was born in Elko. We pass through Tonopah twice a year when we visit home. You hit them all, very cool!

You can thank Jim Mars hof Las Vegas ( well known car dealer) for revitalizing many of these smaller towns and saloons. My father (Glenn Wheeler Hildreth) owned the Knights of Pithious (sp) hall in Virginia City where he maintained an antique store and his domicile for many years. He was responsible for the resurrection of many historic buildings across Nevada. And, one time president of the Nevada Historical Society and caretaker of Mark Twain's effects.

These are towns we all grew up hearing about in the westerns, it’s really amazing to see the living history.

I lived in the Tahoe area several years ago and went to Virginia City many times. It was great to see it again through your eyes.

I like how informative you are and how you spread the info throughout the video, rather than giving it all to us at once lol. I'm into architecture, so it's cool that you emphasize on some of the buildings. Take care.

Have been to so many places across the country that are on the National Register of Historic Places. This one my husband and I will have to visit and add to my list. Thank you for the tour ...

What a great place Virginia City is! I'm tempted to visit!!. Love these old wild west towns!!! Oatman very similar to VC.

Carson city looks to be the town of dreams almost perfection, especially those white picket fences ,houses well kept ,good size sections , reminds one of the older TV shows when life was different,eben though they were filmed in studio sets and streets ,all this thinking of life perfect,then one wakes up and faces reality.

The summer of 71, I was 16 and spent my summer vacation in Gardnerville, NV. Worked a swing shift at Harvey's Buffet line and made a friend who happened to live in VC. @2:05 there are 2 houses on the left, a blue one with the flag flying and a yellow house. My friend lived in the yellow house, which I visited at least a dozen times that summer. Nevada's legislature was in session only 6 months every other year then and 71 was an off year, so Carson City and VC were virtual ghost towns. Imagine walking the VC "main" street without all of the flags, banners and signs cluttering up the buildings. Without brightly painted buildings and store fronts it reminded me of a street scene from "Gunsmoke", except for the asphalt road. The Bucket of Blood interior, where my friend's mother worked, wasn't painted all white and clean looking. Dark walls, uneven floor, low interior lighting with only what light came in through the front entrance made it seem like you actually transported back to the late 1800s. What you see today is almost a Disney characterization of what Virginia City once was.

I LOVE rural Nevada (and New Mexico). The the intro of this video reminded me of the time when I lived in Vegas, for a few months, and loved when we got outside of Vegas to beautiful places like that. I will probably make more comments as I see the small towns but this gave me a strong flashback to 11 years ago and a very happy one. Thank you

Very cool video,I grew up in Reno area and we spent a lot of time visiting Virginia City ,Carson City and surrounding towns and was always a blast ,alot of history and all the historic buildings and community 's ,thanks for the video ,brings back a lot of fun memories

I used to enjoy visiting Virginia City when I lived in Reno, going to try to go back next year on a long road trip

Both places are spectacular! Thanks for showing me around your beautiful country.

I'm always shouting eat the bloody food before it gets cold😉. Also the Cartwright boys from the Ponderosa never got a mention.🤠

Really great Vlog Joey. How cool! And as a Brit, I’m enjoy your beautiful country. I think this was my favourite town to date. 😊 Stay safe folks 😊
