7. Visiting Area 51

In 1996, the Nevada legislature named a stretch of state road 375 as the Extraterrestrial Highway. Tourists and UFO enthusiasts flock down this lonely highway to the small town of Rachel, located near the midpoint of the highway. Close by is the Alien Research Center and the A'Le'Inn, where people can find food, lodging, and alien goodies. Proprietors of the inn recommend visitors to fill their gas tanks before heading to Rachel, as there's is no gas available there.
