When you discover Elko, Nevada, you quickly see why this truly is the “Great American West”. Sitting at an elevation of more than 5,000 feet, Elko is known as “Nevada with Altitude,” a moniker to which it truly lives up. The thriving northeastern, Nevada city is bordered by the towering, snow-capped Ruby Mountains, often called the Alps of Nevada, and the lush, glacier-carved Lamoille Canyon. And that means there’s no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy, everything from down-and-dirty ATVing to out-of-this-world heli-skiing.
Within minutes of downtown Elko, visitors can enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing or backpacking– and that’s just the start. Elko’s humble beginning came in 1869 when it was established as a railroad site town. It quickly became home to rail workers and their families.
Located in downtown Elko, the Maverick Hotel and Casino is just steps away from a variety of shops and dining options. Enjoy resort-style lodging, with a touch of hometown comfort in the “Best Small Town in America”.
