- Exploring a creepy old burned-out casino town with AMAZING abandoned ruins. Sorry the video is so long...but there was SO MUCH amazing stuff to explore! Research indicates that Soper's Montgomery Pass Casino/Restaurant burned down in 2010, but I wasn't able to find much more info online. If anyone knows anything, please comment below or email me...I'd love to hear your stories and memories!
My parents used to manage that motel and I was born on the floor in the casino that burned down in 2010. There used to be a plaque in the casino with my name on it, as the only living native of Montgomery Pass.
The town hasn't been abandoned forever, and I'm not that old.
Sabrina B really?
Really. I have pictures of my family and the motel from the late seventies
Sabrina B you should post them.
AWESOME
Montgomery Pass was the first place I ever gambled, and Janie's ranch was another first time for me. I grew up in Bishop. Thanks for this and all of your videos, they bring back slot of good memories for me as I have explored many of the same places that you have.and have similar interests..
You're a great explorer and intrepid adventurer and I'm jealous of your ability to take off down the road. I live vicariously through people like you. One thing sort of puts me on edge: all though these places are down and out, there's a good chance that some are not really abandoned. If you find yourself in flip flops and shorts, with nothing in your hand but a camera, you might not be in position to get away from the drunken schitzo who claims this spot as his little slice of heaven. Where a normal person might see a burned out hellhole, this guy might imagine you're an assassin sent by the secret police. Be careful!!!
yeah.....I've gotten enough hatred in the comments to know that sadly, not everyone in this world is friendly and cool :-/ I'll be careful!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !! Great Work !
@@Wonderhussy I thought you don't read the comments...stop that!!!
You did an excellent job filming this old ghost town, very well done...Please do some more in that area...
WOW! Those old slot machines are pretty cool! Thumbs up!
Sorry on last comment stoppage, iPhone fell down. Thanks for just taking your time, and not speeding thru the place and stopping for a half minute to let us see. I like that you talk and explain some of the history, no matter where you are, abandoned places or your home. Thanks for sharing and being just you. Marilyn from Alberta, Canada
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching :-)
Yessss. Anything labelled "New Yorker" definitely implies "cultured"! - No brothel coupons? I wouldn't stay there! - Great tour. You had so much fun. And your running commentary is the best ever.
love the play by play and your vocabulary. Great stuff!
I am a truck driver, I would stop there all the time Back in the 1980s this totally brings back memories.
Another nice exploration video ! My wife and I really enjoy your adventures ! Thank you !
Great video Wonder Hussy! I love exploring abandoned places so this is right up my alley. This looks better than anything I have been to before. That staircase was awesome and so much stuff inside. Gotta visit soon! Thanks for all of your great videos!
It was sooo creepy going up that staircase in the dark...I loved it! Thanks for your kind words!
Love your narration and sense of adventure. What is puzzling is how each of these buildings seem absolutely trashed. Does somebody freak out and trash the place before they abandoned it ? Puzzling !
Great video!!! Next time I am in Reno I will definitely be making a road trip to to this awesome roadside gathering of stuff and things!
Awesome exploration and I love your enthusiasm. You got a new sub!! I was kinda surprised you didn't run into any rattlesnakes; looked like rat paradise.
Just came across your channel and subbed. I've been here too. The old Montgomery Lodge. It closed back in 1974. Cool place to snoop around. I can't wait to check out some of your other local adventures.
thanks man!
As a local gay male atheist who loves getting outside I must say I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner.
well ya found me now!!! :-D
We had some good times at Soper's in the 1990s. Only fifty miles from Bishop it was a fun Saturday afternoon getaway before the Paiute Palace Casino (now Wanaaha) opened. Soper's was a classic Nevada casino that spoke to an era before corporate management takeovers. Someone thought Montgomery Pass would make a great tourist destination as evidenced by the Boundary Peak Motel which was haunted by its own murderous scandal. Soper's was bright and cheery thanks to its big picture windows. Free well drinks if you played the slots and tables. Coins clinked away when a small jackpot was hit. It was a beautiful setting on the high pass often visited by the White Mountain herd of wild horses, which still wander through on occasion today. To be sure, it was a difficult location. There was the occasional armed robbery because of its isolation and it was too expensive to keep stocked with reasonably priced supplies as it wasn't on a main travel route. Now tractor-trailers travel Highway 6 daily en route to Idaho and points north from Southern California. Thanks for recording it. It's too bad you couldn't have seen it in all its original glory.
I just watched your abandoned casino town, fascinating. I grew up exploring abandoned houses in Western Colorado, still haven't lost the attraction to wandering through what people leave behind. Spent some time in an old gold mining town while my dad was drilling for core samples of Gold and silver, totally amazing.
I love watching videos about abandoned ghost towns. this is the first time I've come across your video. I loved your video I will be following you from now on. Can't wait to see the rest of your videos, you do an excellent job. Please be safe, this is a crazy world not safe anymore.
+ALICIA CHAVEZ JONES thank you so much! I just shot 5 new videos yesterday of weird abandoned stuff in the desert... Stay tuned!
LOL, I love your channel. You are sure one brave girl, going exploring like that in flip flops. LOL Thanks for sharing. Keep it up !!!
you find some cool stuff i do my travelling via my computer screen keep up the good work god bless you
Nice, and you're descriptions are hilarious...thanks for the content!...
i know that place well. I drive thru there several times a month as a trucker.
it's on U.S.6 just north of Bishop.
Never have the time to stop and explore tho.
thanks for the walkthru!
cool stuff.
Glad you enjoyed! Drive safely :-)
Amazing casino town a lot of good stuff there. Great share!
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I love exploring abandoned places, mostly in Arizona.
I have that same pink tile in my bathroom now. My grandfather built our house in 1954. It was real popular tile back then.
Love your video's, there is something eerie about about abandoned buildings , like frozen in time and once life once existed in these buildings cheers from Australia..!!!
Just watched. Thanks for posting. Very interesting. I enjoy exploring old places/stuff too.
You are so much fun and up beat and so are your videos. I bet the little shacks were
for the Casino employees and the Hotel was for the guests
thank you!
The Item you picked up in the upstairs with the four large holes in it was a cylinder head gasket from a v-8 engine. I would love to go exploring like this. I have always loved old ghost towns.
thanks!
Old "Ghost Towns" are 'COOL'...in the DAY TIME...but 'SCARY AS HELL' (at night).
Look how nice the house is that you climbed through the window!! Amazing!!
It's amazing all the "stuff" that had to be hauled out there to build all these buildings !!!!
This was so cool!! Even the comments with the real facts was terrific! You're good at narration of the site! Thank you, so much!!!
Love your video's doll. You have a brilliant sense of humor & not afraid to explore. Keep it up!
Hey Miss Wonder, that William Kelley was a movie star! He's on IMDB! "William Kelley was born on May 27, 1929 in Staten Island, New York, USA. He is known for his work on Witness (1985), The Winds of Kitty Hawk (1978) and The Blue Lightning (1986). He was married to Nina Kelley. He died on February 3, 2003 in Bishop, California, USA."
The LA Times article described him, at his passing: "William Kelley, a television and film writer who shared an Academy Award for screenwriting for his work on the 1985 movie "Witness," has died. He was 73.
Kelley died of cancer Monday at his home in Bishop, where he had lived since 1994. ((Clearly he was there before that? Based on what you found... I'm thinking... doesn't really matter, though.))
"Witness" was co-written by Earl W. Wallace and based on an original story by Kelley, Wallace and Pamela Wallace.
It is a tale that begins with an Amish boy's witnessing a murder while on a trip to Philadelphia with his mother. When the police detective in charge of the case discovers that the murder plot originated in the department, he hides out among the Amish to protect both the boy and himself.
Peter Weir directed the movie, which starred Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.
Kelley and Earl Wallace first met in the 1970s when Kelley was writing scripts for "Gunsmoke" and Wallace was the show's executive story consultant.
"Bill had a marvelous sense of humor, in addition to being very well-educated," Wallace recalled Thursday. "He had a tremendous love of poetry and could recite it by the hour in that marvelous, Irish raconteurish way. He was just a joy to be around."
His address at Rocking K Ranch has many businesses listed, amongst which are a wedding ceremony location.
Wow!! Thanks for the info!
You see things from your point of view that it is deadly and we do not find it like we live with the knowledge that we need more help I hope you help me I want some money to spend my need and need in my life I hope readers of my message interest in the suffering that I live in this life, to you all and to see my effort Please pay attention Kate Hare McIntosh
Cool Narrative/Awesome Exploring...I'm a new subscription!
Very cool! There's a TON of old ghost towns from AZ to MT, going from VA to MT, we went though death valley, and it was hotter than hell, but beautiful land. Also, a lot of abandoned mines near the old towns, but....I wouldn't go in an old mine lol I have a few vids laying around somewhere of the few ghost towns I've explored, one being Tampico, Montana, my grandfather grew up there, so it was really cool to see.
Holy Moly! lol ..I've been there a thousand times! cool place, Montgomery Pass Casino holds the distinction of being the highest Elivation casino in the world. ...Holy Moly! 3:)
David Lee holy canoli
Thanks for being you. Don't even reply back to those people that say you talk to much, they can turn off the volume if they don't like it. I have watched a lot of different videos and know your not going to please everyone. I would just like to thank you for sharing and not having now wachy music p
I agree....trolls are just immature humans who get a charge out of saying awful things. Like the obnoxious class clown out to hassle anyone who isn't in the room to call them "jerk".
i personally like it when they talk. watching it in silence lets you pay more attention to the scene but talking is fun to listen to commentary. i also like it because i talk too much too. if people dont like it they can suck it up and watch other people.... and most of the male urban explorers talk wayyy too much as well because they love urban exploration. :)
i don't mind the talking explaining what we are seeing but having music as a background sound is a little over the top to me. another pet peeve is to much selfies time. i watch to see what they are exploring. not really into talking heads.
Marilyn Schmidek To be honest, I kind of like her personality.

great video . i live in the uk and love seeing these usa exploring videos . i shall check out your other videos .
Oh you must be so fun to hang out with!! :) just found your channel and subscribed and am going to see your other vids
Very nice video! I appreciate you posting it; I'm a new subscriber.
Love your personality and outlook on life. Made it really fun and interesting to watch.
LOVE the show your a smart lady well informed...interesting! keep them coming... have fun exploring and sharing with us...)
This is the first video I've seen of yours. I liked it so much I'm now subscribing to your channel. I also like that they are long videos.
Great video! I just found your channel, you're an awesome explorer!
thanks!!!!! :-)
Interesting...strange that such a large motel was built there..sure seems like it was much busier in the past. Just like old Rt.66-once the traffic is gone, towns die.
Hey, girl... love the way you explore. I subbed and want to see more of your adventures.
I shot two new ones yesterday...stay tuned!
@@Wonderhussy i wonder if you are the foul mouthed care free person or the cool kind person in real life...tbh i like this version...either way...love your stuff
@@barry8774 I am a little bit of both... I had to dial back on my cussing cuz I got so many complaints, but in real life I still do cuss a bit. There are certain aspects of my personality I do have to dial back for youtube, but for the most part I am pretty much exactly the same in real life
great find! need one of those little cabins...picked up and moved right HERE ....
Lived and worked here. I could tell you stories.... Mongomery Pass Soper's Casino. The first cabin you stopped in was occupied by the latest General Manager. Can't remember his name. I lived in one of those cabins down towards the end..... The one you climbed into was Jane's. She was the controller at the time. I remodeled that place and put the kitchen window and the main counter and cabinet in there. That big white shop, used to be a gas station. That was where my office was located. It was a casino/restaurant/bar. With a motel. The place across the street had been closed for years when I got there. There was a murder there. Gay lover thing. The guy used a hatchet... Mrs Soper used to live in that big main cabin house with the big fire place. Larry Shmidt, the manager also lived there. The Pitt Boss lived in the last one. Can't remember his name.
This was pretty amazing to see this place like this when the last time I saw it I was a customer, (mark), of the casino. My dad lived in Tonopah and once a month went to Bishop. I never knew this place went down.
Just stumbled across your channel and subbed. I like your style. I'll be checking out your previous videos.
I had to look this one up after your live the other day… this was a good one I’d never seen. It was so weird to hear your cuss and dropping the F bomb, lol. I’d love to see you redo this one. Your current story telling abilities would make it super interesting and even more fun than it was!
Love your commentary! :)
good job showing hun and be careful out there ,GOD BLESS you
..... Like your smile..... Love your style.....!!
I worked at coaldale junction in 1986 or so and my Mother in law worked at boundary peak. I`m going to make this as short as possible. The sopher owned the casino and cafe. the house where for employees. They had owned the Hotel across the street and sold it. Well the man they sold it to had some problems with the soapher and the water to the hotel was shut off. I`m not sure if this was before the murders at the hotel or after. The man they had sold it to had brought a few convicts out of Vegas to run it. One night one of them killed the other two or three in the office complex and proceeded to go to the rooms and kill the guests. I lost my Job at the truck stop cafe in Coaldale and went up to the pass with mother in law as she said she could get me a Job running the Motel. I talked with the guy that owned it and moved into the office. Well my mother in Law told us if we ran the motel we where not welcome on the other side of the road. We packed up and went to the second house where my mother in law lived. Then Mrs Shoaper (not sure how they spelled their name maybe soapher) She told me the story and showed me the wanted poster. The guy had killed them with an ax and took one of the guest trucks and headed for Bishop California. He cover up the guest with a blanket and told the port of entry guy he was sleeping. I am not sure if they ever caught him . You could check with the sheriff for this area to confirm this. Janie's was a brothel. I meet several of the women as they would stop at Coaldale for fuel and I worked on several of their cars. Gas, Thermostats, flat tire and such. They even offered me a job there however my wife said no. If you have any questions feel free to ask I even know of a few secluded ghost towns by Dryer. Been a long time ago. One ghost town is filled with houses and a mine with tailing and very spooky.
WOW!!! Thank you for sharing all this fascinating information...I really appreciate your taking the time to share your knowledge. What a story!!!! It should be a movie!
Your hot & I love your channel!
Kinda hard to email you when you don't present your email address, kid. You should have known. daviddaveinternational@gmail.com
Wonder Hussy you are a woman that has the curiosity mindset, nice to know there are decent women out there, hypergamy and third wave entitled feminism has poisoned the well,

I love your narration. 'a gentleman of distinction'
90s mine and this place might be my 2 favorites
Your shadows look like you're using a GoPro!!! You have a real talent for turning a trashed, abandoned place into something interesting and hilarious. Keep up the good work, girl!!!
thanks Gary!!! See you soooooon....hopefully to shoot some more abandoned stuff in Pioche this time!!!!!!!
I worked in Sopers Casino in the 80's as a dealer, bartender, and keno writer. The cabins were an old motel from bishop, ca that they moved up there for the employees. They were real "shacks". A man named Lucky Larryu was the casino mgr and he was a real character. I was thewrew about 2 months then went back home to Sparks, Nv lol'
you're have a new sub!!
great vid,en love you're energy
Wow cool place 👍i like these videos thanx for charring 👍
That's purty crazy . All Abandoned and tore up. Thanks for the tour. 🇺🇸
YA ,,,NO,,,YOUR EYE REALLY CAPTURE THE SEEN!BUT MANY MIGHT NOT SEE HOW INTENSE PASSING UP ON FEAR YOU ARE! FANTASTIC VIDEO AGAIN.YOU KNOW YOUR NEVADA VERY WELL AND THE STATE SHOULD BE FUNDING YOU THROUGH TOURISM!!,,
STAY WELL,THE RATTLES BE SLEEPING SOON..
STAY WELL SAFE TRAVELS SARAH!THANK YOU
I fell in love when she went through that window.
Okay this is now my all time #1 favorite
That one thing with all the holes in it is a head gasket probably for a car engine.
that was so awesome thanks for the walk through !! ur pretty badass n adorable n funny !!! laughed so much :P
take care have fun !!
Awesome video! That hotel looks like the Norman Bates Hotel.
Thank you Sabrina B, Glen Avery for the history and Wonderhussy Adventures for the video and silky voice narration. I wondered what the story behind that casino, motel and brothel was. Places like that remind me of my mortality and hopefully immortality. The way a once thriving place gets started on a good reason, but then dies, as other highways and destinations are built, or personal tastes and circumstances change, and often after some pivotal event intervenes, like death in the family, murder, fire, war or economic collapse, the fatal stake is driven through the life of a once thriving town, mine, farm or business. Wonder if some adventurous domestic financiers or foreign investors would support the opening up of a swanky gas station, convenience store and mini-motel/adventure casino destination? For now it's a place to pick through relics of the past, as the nearby State of Nevada maintenance personnel at that NDOT compound keep highway 6 ready for travelers during the four seasons of the year, between Tonopah and Ely, and beyond.
You've gotten smoother, a little less coarse, a little more polished in your narratives since this episode was shot. That little settlement reminds me somehow of Stateline, Nevada - how it was back in the day, whenever I first saw it (sometime around 1970). Back then, there were probably many similarities between the two settlements. 22:04 Looks like a head gasket. Cheers.
Seriously, this is cool!! I live it!!
Amazing how the low humidity preserves run down places there. That same place here in Arkansas would be so grown over with vines by now.
Hated to see this video come to an end I really enjoyed it.
you are a real little bunny wow nice work keep it up thank again from canada
The place is was the Montgomery Pass Lodge and Casino, but it’s also called Soper’s Café.
Thanks great video. Love your play by play, and your funny.
thank you!! :-)
A fellow by the name of Bud Soper owned a chain of casinos all on the border of Nevada. The only one I think he had that is still open ids the Regency casino in Laughlin. If you saw him you would never know he was rich. He always wore bib overalls an tee shirts. Would buy anything he found intriguing. When he passed away he had a dozen fire trucks on his property and lots of other stuff.
KOOL THANKS FOR SHARING!! 👍
The Carson & Colorado narrow gauge railroad went through that. It was a station and small town. It is Montgomery Pass and the railroad called it Summit. Boundary Peak is nearby to the south. It is on the Boundary between California and Nevada.
The flat metal thng you picked up shortly after going upstairs was a Head Gasket from an Engine
Very cool video, it's fascinating to find places like this and explore them. In as much as you're by yourself in very remote locations I hope you're armed to protect yourself from two legged and four legged predators and slithering ones as well.
Question was that the one by Highway 6. I know that one burnt down in 2010 and a lot was left behind thank you I like watching you stuff especially when we have nothing to do
Great tour of Montgromery Pass. Was close by in Beatty where I found seriously interesting stories. Miss Hussy's the best. Holy Moley, detritus, Flotsam and jetsam. Junk everywhere.
That was fun. Thanks for giving us the tour.
Too funny, you've refined your game. You remind me of another free spirit I hung out with in the snowstorm of 96 here in BC. British Columbia.
I worked at the casino in 86 and lived in what you called cabin 2 (last one you went in) and it was cool to see it now
would love to take off work for a month and explore old ghost towns of Nevada...keep up the exploring, lookn good.
2010, didn't take long for people to destroy the cabins and motel. The brothel you mentioned may have tried to operate as a self serve establishment and it didn't go over very well?
Wow, that is crazy with all the papers and Docs.
I use to travel through there going from Round Mtn. Nv. To Bishop Ca. The Hotel was open at least in the late 80’s
Sad to see the place in this kind of shape. I spent 2 days in Montgomery Pass during a snow storm in 1984. The food wasn't bad and the people were great. The brothel was closed for the season so no opinions there. I don't know if I would have survived the storm if not for the good folks at Montgomery Pass.
totally Cool.. thanks for sharing this..
Wanderhussy please explain why people have to wreak everything they come across? They cant leave a pane of glass unbroken.
It's good you fimed this, I check the satellite pic and it looks like the building with all the slot machines burned down
Very cool video. Thank you. Be safe!
FYI the metal thing you said looked very cool was a head gasket to a straight six motor
That is a kool place.....great vid!
There was a narrow gauge train that ran through that pass. I took my jeep out there last month looking for the railroad tunnel. Mostly covered up from the dirt sliding down the hills. The train engine is in Bishop at the Law's Museum.
Cool video, I used to do stuff like this in the Chicagoland area (old industry, steel mills etc) ;-)
hahahahaha Wonderhussy love your approach and attitude. Definitely subscribed. I love doing the same thing. digging into old abandoned places along the highways and old ghost towns. My official USA residence in Nv and when I'm home I spend lots of time out in the middle of nowhere, checking out shit people forgot even exists. Can't wait to get out of Germany... 2 more months!!!
