Description
Brass Rail Saloon Virginia City Nevada 55
The Brass Rail Saloon in Virginia City is located in the Old Washoe Club building along the historic old "C" Street. Once a booming town catering to the prospectors who crowded in to the town to fulfill their dreams of wealth, only to find that the real wealth was in the entrepreneurial enterprises that satisfied the needs of the prospectors, Virginia City lay in disrepair during the early 1900's. This "ghost town" atmosphere was eventually capitalized upon by the new enterprising business minded people and turned into a tourist attraction.
Of the few saloons that exist today in comparison to the numbers that existed when the town originated, The Brass Rail, also known as Danielle's Brass Rail is one of the noted saloons along the old town's main street. Here you will find gaming and slot machines, however the saloon is most noted for having the oldest roulette wheel in Nevada on its premises. For aficionados of antiques, or just fans of of the gaming industry, this is the place to stop in. In addition to all of the gaming attributes, the saloon has a bar decorated with an antique collection of gold and ruby glasses, some dating back more than 200 years, in addition to a number of vintage objects dating back to the late 1800's heyday in Virginia City.
