Driving distance took me about 1 hour 30-40 mins from SLC. I used Waze GPS and it got me there accurately. There was a rest area before the Bonneville exit. The rest area had a nice scenic view of the salt flats (much whiter than the bonneville). When arriving there, you will see the Bonnevielle Salt Flats sign for a nice pictuire pose. When done, you can drive along the salt flats and take even more pictures without any distractions from other visitors. The scenic view was nature at its finest. When visiting SLC, it's a destination worth to check out once in a lifetime.

Hi Wendover Will! [West Wendover NV]…read more My first time seeing this larger than life mechanical cowboy with white hat, yellow bandana, red shirt, Levis jeans, cowboy boots, and a shiny six-gun as it stood on Wendover Blvd in the hot daytime Nevada sun welcoming travelers to West Wendover's gambling town. Wendover Will is a towering 63-feet-tall mechanical neon cowboy and requires no fees or admission to access. Also, there is no accessible parking by the statue. If you want to take a quick pic just look for parking on either side. I just happen to capture a pic while we were driving into NV. ... and he lights up after dark too and will stay lit until sunrise the following morning. Too bad we didn't see this driving into Utah a little past midnight. Wendover Will waves travelers off the highway and into the desert of West Wendover while Vegas Vic in downtown Las Vegas can be seen winking and flicking a cigarette greeting southern Nevada visitors on Fremont Street. Only in Nevada... Happy travels! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Review #3510

Later, in 2005, it was restored and moved to it's current location in the town's center. He's a great backdrop to photos while visiting town and looks amazing at both sunrise or sunset-I snagged photos of both. Although it's located in the middle of the street, there are plenty of places to pull off the road so you can take pictures safely. Wendover Will welcomes you to West Wendover, Nevada!

On my way to Twin Falls, ID, I stopped to check out the tree sculpture. There's something…read moreintriguing about it--set on the salt flats, low mountains, and complete isolation. It gave me similar vibes to Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea (worth a visit if you're into art and ever near Joshua Tree or Palm Springs, CA). I enjoyed the quiet solitude there. Hardly anyone around...just peaceful stillness and the simple satisfaction of walking on the white salt crust. The tree was a gentle reminder to stay rooted/grounded in life; and the red signs installed next to it was a playful reminder to take risks, trust my luck, and appreciate how far I've come. On this road trip, it felt like life's way of saying I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, so I should keep going and enjoy the ride.

It is a pretty cool place to see, but be careful that you don't get stuck on the salt flat. Park…read morenear the rocks by the entrance.

Stopped to stay the night while on our way to Reno. We…read morealways stay at a Peppermill while in Reno so thought we'd give this one a try. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Got us checked in quickly . Room is nice and comfortable. Ate dinner at the Mexican restaurant inside the casino. Played the slot machines for several hours. Floor staff were also very nice. By contrast.... Roberto at the bar closest to the service and front desk was horrible. Couldn't get my player card to work while trying to play a poker machine and he continued to harass us after we ordered a beer. We had played several hours and had no problems on the floor with the 2 beers we had. He continued to hover and continually asks" are you gonna play , buddy?" Over and over. We were playing but had a glitch with the card not reading my loaded $ on the player card. Asked what the deal was.... we're trying to get the card to work. He said" they are watching" you need to be playing to have a beer. True and also we were playing. Just having a card issue. Finally just told him to take the beer back and went to the front desk to get a new card. Didn't come to be harassed and treated rudely by the bartender. We are paying for a room, ate dinner at the restaurant, playing the slots all day and he was very out of line. Don't go to the bar where Roberto works!

I told her I was headed to the roulette table and she said that was ok then. 30 minutes later she showed up and asked if I wanted a drink. I reminded her I already gave her 10.00 for one and she denied it. I said you don't remember standing just 10 feet from here you don't remember. At that time another gal showed up conveniently and asked if she could help. I told her the story and she immediately took the cocktail waitresses side and said they have cameras to look at if needed. I asked to look at it then and showed her the spot she took my money and the time. She then asked me to leave the casino. It was only 10 bucks but it was the principal. If people are going through hard times you don't need to steel from others. There was 8 of us from Montana that stayed down there for a week for the first time and will be the last time. My advice definitely get your drink first like they normally would do.

We asked a man with a badge who worked there to help guide us and he was rude.

Another girl at the desk inserted herself into the situation and was rude and raised her voice at us. Both rooms my family stayed in had air conditioners that were incredulous when they kicked on.
