California has far too many to list here! I have nothing in Idaho...

NEVADA: LAS VEGAS
"The City That Never Sleeps."
Sands Hotel Casino
There is at least one account of a group of men and women appearing at a
table in Room 1888 about twenty-five years ago. They were reminiscing and
woke the occupant of the room. They all looked up at her simultaneously
and one said aloud, "What should we do with her?" Then they all
disappeared. It turned out they were all victims of a recent car wreck.

Luxor Hotel And Casino
This is more of a story about energy and pyramid power. One construction
worker was killed and several others injured as it was going up. There are
claims that the golden pyramid needs a capstone with an eye to modulate
the energy extremes generated by the ancient form. Locals believe the
hotel is bad luck for the city.
-----------------
NEVADA: RHYOLITE
Ghost Town
4 mi. SW on SR 58 from Beatty, then follow signs (2 mi. R). Had 8,000
residents 1905-08. One interesting ruin is the Bottle House, whose walls
were built of quart beer bottles secured with adobe.

The ghost of Tom Kelly has been seen in the Bottle House of the once
prosperous mining-town-turned-ghost-town Rhyolite, Nevada. Several other
spooks make their presence known here at times, especially around the
empty vault at the old ruins of the Cook Bank Building. Rhyolite is
approximately 85 miles northwest of Las Vegas off U.S. Highway 95 on
Highway 374.

NEVADA: TONOPAH
Mizpah Hotel & Casino Front Desk & Restaurant
Watch out for the bouncy lady-of-the-night ghost, dressed all in red, on
the fifth floor. Sometime after its construction in 1908 she was stabbed
to death in the hotel and still hangs around there.

NEVADA: VIRGINIA CITY
Restored Ghost Town

Delta Restaurant
The Delta Saloon
18 South C St, Vir ginia City NV 89440 (702) 847-0788
The Suicide Table
An owner of the saloon, Black Jake, lost a card game at one of the tables
here in the late 1860s. In a fit of rage, he shot himself in the head. His
persistent reappearance through the years led to the table being retired.
The bloodstain is still there.

--UTAH--
UTAH: LEHI
Lehi is about ten miles south of Salt Lake City at exit 282 on Interstate
15. The General Manager said that there were many sites in his small town
haunted and that his family owned one such store years ago.

UTAH: SALT LAKE CITY
Simon Bamberger house
Located on 100 South. Rumored Haunted.

Ghosts in the old Devereaux House (now a resturant)
Hauntings rumored

Old Fort Douglas Museum on the University of Utah campus
Hauntings rumored

The Marriott Library
Rumored to have hauntings on the 5th floor.

The bouncy lady-of-the-night.

I think I met her when I was in Vegas, but she was handing out leaflets for
a special kind of service......

I stayed there last year and specified to stay in the room the murder allegedly happened in (it actually happened in the hall way in front of the room) which is immediately adjacent to the other supposed room she was staying in (I researched and many online postings claimed it was either one room or the other)

On the second night of our stay we were greeted off the elevator of the fifth floor of a girl in red who greeted us. She looked young, early 20s maybe and more stout. Nothing supernatural really dawned on me since she seemed like a normal person (but the outfit was out of place). I actually assumed it was a local person dressing up to spook guests who were aware of the story after taking a moment to assess it afterwards. She boarded the elevator after us, so who knows...

There's also some other ghostly stories involved with the hotel regarding the basement. A nearby mine tunnel had been discovered to have made contact with the basement safe room that involved a couple of murders. They supposedly will let you visit the basement with an employee present, but we never got around to doing that

It really is a marvelous building and pretty much the only reason to visit Tonopah. The mythical 'Clown Motel' also is in the city but isn't all that interesting outside of its inherit creepiness and being ran by a creep. The old cemetary is next to it which is more interesting
