Tourism
Alamo attracts tourists and truckers traveling from Las Vegas to northern Nevada and Idaho. Attractions include the nearby warm springs, wildlife refuge, Extraterrestrial Highway and Area 51. Gas stations in Alamo cater to these tourists by offering alien memorabilia. There are three truck stops, the Alamo Sinclair, the Ash Springs Shell and the Alamo truck stop, that offer large diesel filling areas to attract passing truckers. There are also four motels in Alamo, the Meadow Lane Motel, Sunset View Inn, Windmill Ridge, and A Cowboy's Dream.
