History: Alamo, Spanish for the poplar trees native to this part of Nevada, was rife with horse thieves in the 1860s who plundered stock in Utah and Arizona. After a quick respite in the valley, the rustlers and their horses would then make the long journey across the desert and into California. It’s been reported that at one point there were as many as 350 different brands in the valley at the same time. The town was established in 1901.
From the kitchen: Hearty, decadent fare is served for dinner, including entrees such as meat loaf, game hens and pork chops, excellent chowder, soup and salad, a wide variety of side dishes and famous desserts such as warm apple crisp.
Unique Setting: Truly remote, yet an easy drive from the bright lights of Vegas.
Rates: $229-$538 depending on season for single rooms | $1400-$2800 for Bunkhouse
Weddings or meetings: The house offers a Great Room, including a library, as well as a charming Bunk House where guests can socialize and unwind. There’s a dance hall and wedding pavilion for special events. The Business Center offers a conference room, computer workstation, high-speed internet access and audio-video capabilities.
Popular nearby attractions: Nearby lakes are stocked with fish, while hot springs and Native American artifacts are equally not to be missed. Alamo is also one of the closest inhabited places to the government installation known as Area 51 and the Extraterrestrial Highway which draw UFO enthusiasts from all walks of life. The nearby Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge has over 5,000 acres of open wetlands and lush green grasslands and is home to dozens of bird species. One of Southern Nevada’s best golf courses, Coyote Springs, is a 45-minute drive south.
