I've been to Goldfield several times in the past few years.  And each and every time I have a great time.  I love walking around the old west buildings and watching the actors do their little gun fight on the hour.  What I really like to do is also take photography of the sites, and tour around this living history town.  From what I understand, this was an actual working town during the mining days, they everyone left and someone came in to buy it to open it up to what you see now.  \n\nSure it can feel a little touristy, and catering to kids only it's still pretty neat to just go checkout.  Plus there is still a fully functioning church at the back of the property that still offers services every sunday.  It also makes for an amazing photo when 4 peaks are clear in the background.\n\nOverall, this place can be fun.  We always seem to stop by when we are out in the area.  Usually on the was to Tortilla Flats or Superstation Mt range.
