Uncovering Nevada history one saloon at a time

Saturday, 04 May, 2024 0

Travel Nevada has launched a new way to explore Nevada through its iconic saloons.

The Sagebrush Saloon Passport encourages travelers to immerse in saloon culture and is ideal for history buffs and enthusiast of the Old West.

The Sagebrush Saloon Passport has digitally mapped the Silver State’s storied saloons which can be used for a personalised exploration of the state.

“With the Sagebrush Saloon Passport, travellers can belly up to the bar at some of the most treasured saloons in Nevada,” said Caroline Sexton, Travel Nevada’s chief marketing officer.

“It’s an invitation to get out there and soak in the ambiance of these historic establishments and the wild-at-heart spirit of the Silver State.”

The complimentary passport allows guests to digitally check in at nearly 30 featured saloons across the state.

Users earn points towards exclusive Travel Nevada swag to commemorate their journey through Nevada.

Visitors can complete check-ins at their own pace, allowing for a personalised exploration.

A sampling of the watering holes include:

Genoa Bar & Saloon– In the heart of historic Carson Valley, the oldest settlement in Nevada.

Pioneer Saloon—The oldest bar in southern Nevada in historic Goodsprings.

Jiggs Bar—About an hour south of Elko, Jiggs has a fascinating and extensive history. Today, all that remains is a good old-fashioned, rough-and-tumble saloon—a place worth checking out.

Gold Hill Hotel & Saloon—The Silver State’s oldest hotel is just down the road from Virginia City. Founded in 1859, this historic saloon is the perfect place to grab a drink after exploring one of the West’s most famous boomtowns.

Eureka Owl Club- Any drive along the Loneliest Road in America (Highway 50) requires a stop at the Owl Club. The full-service bar is one of rural Nevada’s best haunts.

Santa Fe Motel & Saloon- One of Nevada’s longest continually operating businesses, visitors can swing a leg over a barstool just as patrons have been doing since 1905 in Goldfield.

Odeon Saloon- The Odeon Saloon in Dayton originally opened in 1863 and retains its Wild West charms. Previous saloon visitors include Mark Twain and Marilyn Monroe.
