    Great place! Cool things to look at and purchase throughout the store. Very unique items! Second time in about 3 years I've been here and they have updated the place a lot since the last time I was there here. Now a yogurt/sandwich shop is in the very back of the store. Gas can also be purchased here. Workers were friendly. Items were a pricey on some things, but it's touristy. Literally out in the middle of nowhere!

    They have the market cornered. Pun intended. It's a big, wide, wonderful store with a terrific sense of humor, in a non-insulting way. Everything a convenience store should have plus some. A vast collection of alien souvenirs from t-shirts to vodka. The vodka is a great mixing hootch but who cares, it comes in an alien head. I bought two. Full restrooms. Not the cleanest, but at this point in your drive...you don't care! It's a bit pricey, but that makes sense. Try one of their sandwiches. Again, pricey but they use quality tri-trip and the bread is outstanding. Not a very big meal but enough to get you through and one you should eat slowly and truly savor. The center is essential for alien transportation late at night when all the nosey earthlings have gone away. The proceeds from the store help to finance this. I for one like to contribute in hopes of intelligent life one day landing here. Beyond that it's also a pretty funny photo op. Your photo with an alien could be a hit at your next party! 03/24

    Very fun place to visit on the way to someplace else. I really like the new cafe, especially the yogurt flavors. The t-shirts in the gift shop are great, gas a decently priced. Always happy to visit.

    Interesting Travel Center northwest of Las Vegas on Hwy 95. We stopped here on our way to and from Detah Valley. The unleaded gas surprisingly was about the same price (approx. $4.89 a gallon) as it was in Las Vegas. If you need fuel on your way to Death Valley get it here since it was about $8 a gallon there. This shop has some neat souvenirs and clothing. Also, there is a cafe in rear with pretty good food. And interesting enough, the Alien Cathouse brothel is next door as well as a fireworks store. Lots of aliens inside travel center to also take photos with.
