Historic Property

The El Trovatore motel is one of the few pre-World War II tourist courts left in Kingman. The business started in 1937 as a service station, with the tourist court added later in 1939, at which time it was $3 per night and was the first motel air-conditioned in the state. It was first owned by John F. Miller who also was the builder/owner of the first hotel in Las Vegas, The Sal Sagev (Las Vegas spelt backwards), which was built in 1906 and is now known as the Golden Gate Hotel.
