Established in 1859, Virginia City became the richest mining town in the world. Today's Virginia City is remarkably the same as it was during its heyday with wooden sidewalks, restored mansions, “Old West” saloons, the Piper Opera House and mine tours. Guests will be transported from Reno to beautiful Virginia City, with a Convention Activities guide to narrate and point out interesting sights along the way. This rip-roaring town had a booming population and exciting reputation. It created millionaires and desperadoes, actors and authors, and beautiful Victorian mansions built by the mine-owner. You can choose to visit the town's most haunted building and enjoy a tour inside, take a walk back into an old mine, or just sit back and watch the old west gun show. Stroll the wooden sidewalks to browse through the many original saloons, gambling halls, and antique shops or visit old Victorian mansions, museums and churches. Meander down to Grandma’s Fudge for something to satisfy your sweet tooth before re-boarding the bus for the return trip to Reno. Includes round trip transportation, professional guide, a ride on the Virginia/Truckee train and your choice of the Ghost Tour, Mine Tour, or Gun Show. Lunch on your own in Virginia City.
