Amargosa Opera House | Death Valley, CA | January 2010
One of the most unique places I've been in Death Valley also offers up a rich history. The Opera House and Hotel offers limited "amenities", but an incredible story and would not be complete without its share of ghost stories too!! Live performances still go on every Saturday night depicting the life of the owner Marta Beckett, a one-time Broadway starlet. She rescued the abandoned property 35 years ago after serving as dormitories for Borax miners in the 20's. Her own hand painted murals can be seen on nearly every wall inside the hotel.
Past patrons include Ray Bradbury and Red Skelton who were regulars to Amargosa.
