I have TWO HUMVEES full of barbells and I’m headed down there. I’m gonna be eating raw meat in the room and pumping iron.
And in case that wasn’t clear, I say GOOD DAY, SIR.

I tried to stay there half a dozen years ago when I was passing through Tonopah and wanted to stay for the night but they were sold out. Yes, a clown-themed motel in the middle of nowhere was fully booked. (Pro tip: The Mitzvah is a fabulous alternative, highly recommended.)
I briefly contemplated buying the Clown Motel when it came up for sale but abandoned the idea when I realized how miserable I would be living in Tonopah.

The Tonopah Brewing Company has a sign in the window “best beer in Nevada” and a couple of other hotels you can stay in, if the clown motel is too much for you.

Christopher Sebela wrote a book about staying there for a month. https://www.amazon.com/Lived-Clown-Motel-Story-Dumbest-ebook/dp/B07H54ZVBS
