Attention, clown enthusiasts! If you’re among the few who adore clowns, we have a peculiar piece of real estate just for you. Brace yourself, as the infamous Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada, is now on the market for a cool $900,000. This unsettling establishment is located conveniently between Reno and Las Vegas and boasts a staggering collection of over 500 clowns, both vintage and contemporary, adorning its halls. Each room is decorated with clown artwork, and some even feature clowns suspended above the beds—definitely not the kind of decor that inspires sweet dreams.
After 22 years of ownership, the current proprietor, Gary Thompson, has decided to retire his clown persona and sell the motel. “I’m ready to enjoy some fishing and relaxation,” Thompson stated in an interview that I couldn’t bring myself to view due to the sheer number of clowns involved. The sale comes with a stipulation: the motel must retain its distinctive clown theme, meaning the creepy figures are here to stay. “I’ll miss my clowns. You can bet I’ll come back to visit them,” Thompson added. How reassuring.
This quirky motel could be the ultimate retreat for that one friend who loves to dress up as a clown on weekends (because we all know someone like that) or someone who might just be a little out of touch with reality. And let’s not get into the details of their “dressing up”—after all, every clown is just a regular person underneath… right?
According to their Facebook, the motel features 31 rooms, both smoking and non-smoking. And if you weren’t a smoker before your stay, you might just leave with a new habit. Each room is furnished with two queen-sized beds (one for you and one for your imaginary clown friend?), conveniently adjacent to a cemetery. Talk about a spooky vibe!
Visitors have shared mixed reviews about their stays. One particularly chilling review read: “An amazing experience! If you enjoy clowns, this is perfect! Even if you don’t, it’s interesting. With the old cemetery nearby and Area 51 close by, there’s plenty to explore.” Another visitor found the experience delightful, despite the eeriness: “This place is unlike any other. Just be prepared for the unexpected—it’s crawling with black cats, and the maintenance guy wears clown pants!”
If you’re intrigued or just want to have a laugh, consider bringing a friend who’s into clowns (or someone who isn’t, just to mess with them). Let the creepy adventure begin!
