Alien Research Center
a giant metal alien and gift shop near the south end
Alien Research Center is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Extraterrestrial Highway (NV-375) because it gives the drive its texture: a giant metal alien and gift shop near the south end. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
