| A 1960s classic. It's really almost cheating to post my cards from Vegas or Reno, as they're usually the most dazzling of all motels. |

| Located in the no-man's land of Northern Nevada, "Halfway between Twin Falls, ID and Wells, NV". It has a casino and a bar, and looks like a helluva place to park your Packard. |
