Sadly, this attraction is no longer in operation and the gift store is closed. As of our visit, the structure still stands and is good for a picture for the ol' scrap book. We had planned this stop en route to Death Valley National Park as it was right on the way. I'd say it was still worth getting out...

Hasn't worked for years! Need someone to take care of it. Makes this town look and feel like it is dying.

Last time I noticed, it was broken and wasn't reading the right temp. I was told it was stuck by lightning awhile back. Not sure if it's fixed yet or not.

Town has grown since the other reviews but this icon is the same. As for a gas stop 4.30 a gallon is 90 cents higher than Barstow. Get out, look up, and say "damn it's hot but it is a dry heat".....!

The old fashioned sort of little roadside attraction one might associate with the 1950's. Good place to stop for gas between Las Vegas and :LA
