Virginia City, a popular Reno-Tahoe day trip, is the liveliest ghost town in the West. Born of the Comstock silver bonanza of 1859, Virginia City's riches built San Francisco and financed the Union during the Civil War.

Today visitors can experience the excitement of the rowdy boomtown which lured powerful bankers and humble miners, sophisticated courtesans and common harlots, and even a journalist named Samuel Clemens who later became known by his pen name, Mark Twain.
