    Okay, first and foremost, I am a sucker for tourist traps. I love the little roadside attractions…read morewhile you're driving. Do I want to see the two-headed calf? Absolutely I do! Do I want to see the three-headed rattlesnake, of course! Why did it take me so long to stop and see the thing? I don't know. But today memorial Day I decided it was time. Got to say right off the bat. This place does an amazing job of marketing, I was seeing signs for this ever since I left El Paso. Now this is not the first time I've seen it. I have driven past this place on multiple occasions and even stopped for gas here, but I did not venture in to see the thing. Why? Maybe it wasn't my time? Maybe the aliens did not guide me to this until that. Whatever the case, I'm glad I did because I can now check this off my bucket list. For starters, this is one of the cheapest side shows I think I've ever seen. With my senior discount. It came out to under $5 for entrance. I'm not going to do too many spoilers because you really have to walk through it yourself. The bottom line is that this guy grabs a hold of all the conspiracy theories possible and melds them into one place. The big questions are what if dinosaurs were actually ruled by aliens? What if aliens have been here all along? Guiding history? What if an alien drove Winston Churchill in a Rolls-Royce? These are valid questions that one should consider while walking through the tour of the thing exhibit. Now, with any good Taurus trap you have to have a solid gift shop, and the thing delivers. There are shot glasses, hats, t-shirts, stickers, refrigerator, magnets, and anything else you could think of to emblazon with the thing logo. Did I buy a t-shirt? Yes, I did. Did I buy a couple of refrigerator magnets? Yes I did. The bottom line if you are traveling and you need to take a break and stop to check things out. This is the place for you, whether you believe in aliens or not, or believe that Winston Churchill was driven around by an alien, you need to stop by and check this place out. I would give it 10 stars but Yelp only allows for five.

    What a super fun stop. We did not want to see "the Thing" but enjoyed the little shop…read more Also, the bathrooms were very clean and the gasoline was cheap. Viva.

    As a traveller, my preferred method is biketouring upon my Doublevision, but often use other means:…read moretrains/trolleys/planes/(motor)vehicles/etc. It was the occasion of a quick family reunion in Los AngelesCA-USA which necessitated the need for a motor vehicle West on I-10 from home inn El PasoTX-USA. Whilst prepping my truck for the 700mile/960km trip, I had knocked the schrader valve needle ajar, causing a whisper of an air leak. My solution was to cap it; no more sound, no more leak. However, my most favorite son was driving when the idiot light came on, alerting him to pull off at the next exit with services. This superior site not only had free air (once we figured out how to operate the nozzle), but he also made the small adjustment to the needle--no more leakage, however minor! The next most important feature was that of nutrition, and server Rayleen in the Subway sandwiches area. Please understand that significance of this super Subway; both my favorite son and his fiancee are vegetarian and Subway is my number one choice of foodstops when biketouring. In fact, Subway is the third photo in my 4th book when I biketoured between El Paso & Houston in 2011! This reflects upon another aspect of this terrific Travel Center: it is at a critical location for when I eventually biketour this route--the shoulder of I-10 is quite useful (and often the only available route) rural road for bicycles transiting the Southern tier of the USA, although some sections (urban) are unacceptable. The most notable unacceptable section is between Texas exit 72 and New Mexico exit 139. However, this gap is extremely well made up for by the "International Ft. Hancock-Las Cruces I-10 Bicycle Bypass" ; which is even more enhanced with your valid passport (greatly facilitates re-entry into the USA) as you pedal through this "Hidden Gem of the World, Crossroads of North America, anchored by El Paso, Cd. Juarez & Las Cruces!" (additional details available at my website: www.juanitohayburg.com) Whatever you do, you can count on excellent vehicle service and needed nutrition at this fantastic Travel Center! It certainly has my "Wheel of Approval!"

    This gas station is full of shit, 2nd time we were there and apparently there dump station is out…read moreof order which is bullshit and I know it, they are just saying that to refuse order which I can see as a lawsuit for the poor service on day they will probably go out of business and I won't feel sorry, like don't have a dump station if it's out of order, cause most of rv people will complain about your shitty service for the dump station, about you take it out then.

    I love the customer service, friendliness, helpfulness, always a smiling face…read more All sales are prominently posted. Staff knows you by name. I always find everything I was looking for promptly and ease to find displayed. This store is very convenient for me, as it is right around the corner from where I live. Easy walking distance, although I usually drive, if I purchase bulky, heavy items. Items are easy to reach and/or i ask for friendly help, which is always prompt. Never do I find any staff lolligagging (=idling or gossiping in the aisles!!! Just a convenient and fun place to shop those last minute hings at low cost.

    I can't get too excited one way or the other about a Dollar General Store. Truth be told, the only…read more"dollar store" I go to regularly is a Dollar Tree that's about a three minute walk from my work, and only because they sell a mysterious 20 oz. can of Diet Coke for ... well, you know. And yet, when my bride and offspring join me sojourning across this great country in our car, and we travel through small 'burgs and 'villes, there is nothing quite as low-brow satisfying as blowing a couple of Andy Jacksons on the abject detritus that fills the shelves of your average Dollar General. Yeah, I know... you NEEDED Oxy-Clean, or PRELL 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, or a five-pack of tube socks, or a fifteen-pack of Big League Chew, or a bag of raffia, or a LOL-doll coloring book, or a 98¢ pregnancy test (I hope it's good news!) But most of the time, we truly don't NEED a blessed thing in this store. Still, we'll blow money here like drunks, buying stuff that would make a Goodwill donation guy blush. And that's OK... because Dollar General is about feeling good, even if exiting the establishment is about buying a Power Rangers mask or a big seasonal hat so no one recognizes you walking out and makes you feel bad. As for this DG, it's a good one-- they have all sorts of stuff. Sure, the prices might head north of a dollar, but it's deeply discounted, and most items have the life expectancy of cut tulips anyway. Honestly, you could probably find a few treasures in here if you really put the work in, sell them on eBay, and double your money. But that reeks of effort, and besides, we're just passin' through, Pardner. Smoke if you got em, but apparently not in front of the building?
