A large, colorful sign for the "CLOWN MOTEL" featuring a juggling clown, with "VACANCY," "WORLD FAMOUS," "GIFT SHOP," and "CLOWN MUSEUM" text. Overlays indicate it's a "HAUNTED MOTEL" in "NEVADA."

The exterior of the Clown Motel building, featuring colorful polka-dot walls and a balcony. Text highlights "31 unique rooms & 1 museum" and mentions the motel is "next to a cemetery and is said to be haunted."

Inside the free clown museum, a person sits near a large clown mannequin and shelves filled with countless clown figurines. A donation box is visible, and text states the museum is "open to everyone."

Would you stay at this haunted clown motel in the desert? It’s in the middle of nowhere and next to a cemetery! I couldn’t stay so I just went into their free clown museum. It’s cool but super creepy! #hauntedtravel #hauntedlocations #traveldestinations #roadtripdestinations #lemon8travel
