Death Valley National Park is the closest national park to Las Vegas, and it is generally a four-hour drive round trip. The Area 51 Alien Travel Center is a fun, kitschy pit stop along the way. Their sticker and T-shirt selection is quite extensive, and I've always received excellent customer service when visiting. Noteworthy films & TV shows for this road trip route: - Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (Las Vegas) - Back to the Future Part II (Las Vegas) - Stranger Things (Nevada desert) - Tremors (Nevada desert) - X-Files (Area 51) - Independence Day (Area 51) - Star Wars (Death Valley NP)

Who rolls through the Nevada desert at night with their fuel light on??…read more I do, cuz that's how I roll... and I knew I had just enough gas to get to Amargosa. After the light came on, I switched my car's display to the gas computer and watched the "range" tick down while I drove past nothing but sagebrush, rock and dust. I started to get a little nervous when the "range" indicator dropped below 10 miles... then 5 miles... and I still hadn't seen signs of this little oasis in the desert. Had I miscalculated? Would this be the time I lose at my silly little gamble and run out of gas? I knew from past experience that I could make it at least another 5 miles after the "range" calculation hit zero, so I had a little bit of padding. Still no lights in the distance, which was a little troubling. Then I popped up over a rise and there it was *whew*. Two miles to spare. I've dropped by here several times now for fuel, snacks, drinks and so on and have always been happy with the service.

After I ate dinner at the…read morerestaurant which was awesome and I was served ice water, I asked for the free coffee and she said if I didn't buy fuel I couldn't have free coffee. Then I said what about the big sign, she said that's only for fueling customers. Then I said fine, i'll go ahead and get some hot water, and she replied the water is no good here there's a bacteria problem! Right after I was served it at the restaurant. Oh well, I'll just continue to go to area 51 Alien Center across the street.

I did my homework and I knew that this gas station inside Death Valley National Park, near the…read moreVisitor Center is more expensive. But we wanted to gas up a bit, for safety, so we stopped by. It is kinda small, cramped, harder to come in and out. But it's convenient and since distances are so big within the park, it's great to have it around, as a peace of mind. Paid with a credit card, no issues, convenient, onward to the next spot!

This review is for HOMEMADE ICE CREAM!…read more My husband and I stayed at the Stagecoach motel every year we made a trip down Hwy 95 BECAUSE not only is the hotel great and reasonably priced but we could come HERE and eat HOMEMADE DELICIOUS CREAMY ICE CREAM for dinner AND breakfast the next morning. $4.50 for the first scoop and $1 extra for additional scoops. I recommend you get the larger container because it's a real bargain for 4 scoops compared to one. (:-) It is STILL as delicious as ever and I'm taking this trip down memory lane (Hwy 95) without him for the first time because he passed away last year.

Again, it's a nice stop to relax and recharge... too many people blast thru this national treasure of wonderment at top speeds, both in terms of MPH and racing the clock. Enjoy the ride.
