The Clown Motel is a landmark nestled in beautiful Tonopah, Nevada. With thousands of clowns, clown-themed rooms, and many ghost sightings, would you be brave enough to book a room? It has the reputation of being “America s Scariest Motel”, so I d have to think twice. Hundreds of clowns staring at me is one thing, but sleeping with a poltergeist in my room? Oh, and did I mention that it s also located right next to a really old cemetery. Sounds like a fun place, right? Horrifying maybe!

It all started in Tonopah, Nevada back in 1985 when Leona and Leroy David built this motel in memory of their father Clarence David who died in the Belmont Mine Fire and is buried at the Old Tonopah Cemetery right next door.
Clarence David was a clown lover and left a collection of 150 clowns in his home which Leona and Leroy David decided to use as the theme and focal point of their motel in memory of their father. The Clown Motel was named “America’s Scariest Motel” due to its clown theme and proximity to the cemetery where many miners were laid to rest due to the Tonopah-Belmont Mine Fire of 1911.
The Clown Motel is home to over 2,000 clowns and you can stay there! iheart.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from iheart.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
