By Alex Girda, Associate Editor<\/em><\/p>\n

Much of Searchlight–that small\u00a0mining town with an often\u00a0colorful past–is going on the market.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Sun<\/em> reports that the Doing family is planning to sell its local holdings, which include a casino, restaurant and a motel. The owners are counting on the appeal of Searchlight\u2019s location near Las Vegas to draw prospective bidders.<\/p>\n

Upwards of 20 different lots are for sale across a 42-acre expanse. The properties include the Searchlight Nugget Casino and an adjoining restaurant. Some assets offer a measure of notoriety; the 21-key El Rey Motel was once a brothel that was reputedly popular with workers who built the Hoover Dam.<\/p>\n

Another historical footnote:\u00a0a century ago, Searchlight was a candidate to serve as the seat of Clark County before the selection of Las Vegas. Notable natives\u00a0include Senator Harry Reid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The number of available lots in the offering sits in the high 20s, with a series of intriguing properties set to catch the attention of both those interested and trivia enthusiasts. The town of Searchlight, home of former Senate Majority Leader and current senior Senator of Nevada Harry Reid, has had its fair share of history. Considered at one point to become the county seat of the newly formed Clark County at the turn of the 20th century, Searchlight is a little mining town built on the success of a gold vein.
