Hotel Nevada is a great place to stay given the options available in Ely. After six oclock in the evening they can usually get a poker game going in the basement along with the blackjack. Mostly locals and a lot of fun. Collins Court was purported to have been closed down by the state because of suspicious? dealing there in the eighties. Here is another mans view of Ely. http://www.disordered.org/Travel-US-NV-E.html
