Fun Times in Ely, Nevada!

Today we are in a small town in White Pine County in Nevada called Ely. The town has about 4,000 people living there and the county has a population of about 10,000 residents. Although many of the residents grew up in Ely, quite a few have moved there from Las Vegas or from out of state to retire. I stayed at the Jailhouse Motel & Casino in downtown, across from the Hotel Nevada and near several places to eat. The downtown area does have several small restaurants, much cooler weather than in Las Vegas and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Some of the popular things to do in Ely include a train museum, checking out the artwork around the small town, the Renaissance Village, mountain biking, hiking and camping.

I don't think there is much crime due to ALL of those American flags and open carry in Nevada!!!

[@Dept246]

Good to show us other parts of Nevada.

Nice to stay somewhere you may never see anywhere else, love it!

[@vegastocali]

Great video Jacob. Love your new intro. Have a great week

[@desmondcastro3679]

A bit more what I was expecting, I must say. Nice looking community. Looking forward to visiting as soon as I'm driving again.😎🚗

Great vids Jacob! Really enjoy seeing other areas.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you Winston!

[@tikemanski3548]

Very Interesting Town Jacob. Looks like my kind of place! Great video once again. Keep up the good work!

[@briannedanner1169]

I was born in Ely and lived there half my childhood. I believe I saw my Jr High or the old Highschool in the background. I spent many days at that park. I have a childhood newspaper picture of me having my face painted at that park. I remember dragging main as a teenager. It's so nostalgic for me. I plan on returning this summer to show my boyfriend my old hood.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

It's definitely the epitome of small town life. It was a good visit for me. I'll be back again. I hope your boyfriend enjoys visiting Ely as much as I did!

[@angiegutierrez8541]

Enjoyed the video always dreamed of living in a very small town this looks perfect 👍🤪

"There's 10,000 in the entire county" So basically this is heaven.

[@MrGp3po]

Ely is a relaxed town that still relies on mining for a healthy economy. Its a great, laid back place to visit. Next time you visit, drive up to McGill about ten miles north and check out that historic mining town. The Rexall Drug store is vintage 1970s.

[@Texasishot105]

I LOVE Ely!!!! I was there in Late April, still snow on the ground 😂❤

[@michaeltipton5500]

We were there in middle of May 20. We woke up to frost.

[@JDOTVegas]

I woke up to -25 with a -46 windchill there one day in January 2017! Also saw snow in July back in 2014.

[@adebruynkops]

[@soxrox2574]

Cool little town. Thanks for showing it to us 👍

[@officerzanzibar701]

The main employer in Ely is the maximum security prison, Ely State Prison, which is about 10-miles outside of Ely, Nevada.

[@JDOTVegas]

I was a shift commander there, once upon a time.

[@andreaorrillo8590]

Sorry it's the copper mine

[@SA-ho1mu]

Great video. The quality is so much better when you record it rather than stream! I really got the sense of being in this place. Nice loooking town!

[@bmathesen248]

Road trip videos were cool. Make more of them.

[@starkiller18]

Cool, I live seeing the videos in rural parts of the state. I also recommend if you haven't check out Wendover especially when they do all their race events. during that week or so there are a lot of really cool race cars and classic cars. they also have a cool air field museum on the utah side of town and the salt flats where they have broken a lot of land speed records.

[@JDOTVegas]

Ely also has a big race twice a year. Nevada Open Road Challenge and Silver State Classic Challenge. They close Highway 318 for the day and some cars crack 200mph!

[@dicklarge1901]

What do people do for a living in ELY? I always wonder why people live in these small towns?

[@JDOTVegas]

10 percent of the town is employed by the maximum security Ely State Prison. The rest are retirees, snow birds, service industry, and other support such as medical, police, etc.

[@andreaorrillo8590]

It's peaceful and the view is the best n most work for copper mine or prison

[@mattsaysitscool1396]

Either casinos or small businesses.. the nicer homes on the outer part of town where people own the nice new trucks are usually guys that work in the mines outside of town. My aunt work at hotel Nevada, in fact at the beginning of the video when they’re sending in the road, that’s her red 300 parked outside lol

[@explosive214]

My parents used to own the Chinese restaurant in Ely

[@crystalsparks8126]

Soooooo what's the problem with Ely, it's quite, yeah but let me tell you if you knew everyone that's worth knowing you wouldn't be bored that's for sure. It's a snobby town. If you're not known, nobody even wants to know you.Because of people like you that diss our beautiful Awesome, Rockin, little freaking treasure in the mountains.

[@azwife1715]

Cute little town. Been thru a few times 😊

[@elliottunleashed5817]

Awesome video, I love seeing Nevada outside Vegas

[@JDOTVegas]

Agree. Vegas is NOT the same as the rest of Nevada. Vegas is Nevada's little chunk of California. I think we should give Clark, Washoe, and Carson City to California so they stop ruining real Nevada with their stupid ideas.

[@RicoMancin]

ya gotta come to Reno Jacob

I stayed @ the Hotel Nevada last year and gambled at the Jail House casino. I loved the visit. In fact, there was a little Radio Shack store right next to the Jail House that I went into. It must have been one of the last ones left any where.

[@scottmiller8396]

Did you meet Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Fife

[@DanaDane559]

I've never been to Ely, but from what I see here it reminds me a little bit of Pahrump. The hotel casino you stayed in reminds me of the Pahrump Nugget, where I stayed in 2019.

[@pitstopsogmc]

NOTHING like Pahrumph!

[@LAFan]

I really enjoyed the live stream in Ely.

[@JDOTVegas]

This is pretty recent. There used to be a traffic light right by Hotel Nevada not too long ago. They took out another one down by the East Ely Chevron. They now have 2 traffic lights instead of 4. I HATED the one by Chevron. I NEVER caught it green. I'm so glad it's gone! Hotel Nevada is cool. It was the tallest building in Nevada when it was built. President Johnson stayed there. And not many people know Pat Nixon (President Nixon's wife) was from Ely, NV. Also on interest is that, on average, Ely has more days per year where the low temp goes below freezing than any other town in the lower 48. I forget the number but I think it was around 280. In the short time I lived there, I can confirm this. I've personally witnessed 56 degree difference between day and night on the same day! -25 that morning and warmed to 31 by lunch time. I learned a lot in the short time I lived there. I love rural Nevada. I've also lived in Indian Springs. That was so relaxing.

Sounds like you had some cool experiences! Thanks for sharing 👍

@@JacobslifeinVegas thank you as well. Great video!

You should have stayed at the Hotel Nevada! Their website says it was founded in the Prohibition Era, but when I was their they claimed to be the oldest hotel in Nevada.
