in Hotel, Travel

The Clown Motel in Nevada stands out with its brightly colored blue building and towering clown-themed sign, set against a desert hill backdrop. Famous for its spooky reputation, this roadside attraction draws thrill-seekers with its playful yet eerie haunted history.

Last year, ITM brought you news of a creepy cool clown motel in Nevada.  This cemetery neighboring nightmare maker was alleged to be haunted.

Now the small somewhat spooky motel is for sale, with a caveat: the new owner must maintain and manage the current clown collection and theme.

This iconic (or horrific if you don’t care for clowns) Nevada motel has been host to its colorful clown friends for over thirty years.  Now the owner, Bob Perchetti, wants to retire.  He’s selling the infamous inn for a cool $900,000.00.

A whimsical red-haired clown doll dressed in a rainbow costume sits center stage, delighting guests as it presents two smaller, colorful clown dolls—a playful display echoing the vibrant and eccentric spirit found at Nevada’s iconic and famously haunted Clown Motel.

Perchetti has one stipulation, though: the clowns must stay.  They have been there since the motel opened and he intends to see that the colossal collection continues to keep customers company.  Renovations, additions, or any other change to the Clown Motel is okay, as long as the clown collection remains.

Buyer beware, the hotel is said to be haunted.  The hotel is next to a cemetery in a mining town that has experienced a lot of tragedy, which could explain the possible paranormal peculiarities.  A 2015 episode of “Ghost Adventures” explored the site and adjacent cemetery.

One account, from a guest who stayed at the hotel, alleges issues with electronic equipment.  The guest also claims to have been touched on the face from a phantom finger.
