Little A'Le'Inn

15 Best Day Trips From Las Vegas

"State Route 375, about 2.5 hours north of Las Vegas, is a kitschy, UFO‑themed drive that serves as the gateway to Area 51 lore and the tiny town of Rachel. Travelers lean into the subculture with stops like the Alien Research Center gift shop and The Little A’Le’Inn (a combination bar, restaurant, and motel), making the route an offbeat, photo‑friendly road trip steeped in extraterrestrial mythology." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
