NEVADA'S DIAMOND IN THE DESERT
Nevada, the Silver State, is more than the high, and low, rollers you see in the casinos of Vegas and Reno. It's more than the glitterati of The Strip-the fleshy stage shows and heavily themed hotels.
Nevada was, and still is, home to pathfinders, trailblazers, men and women who were not afraid to go out into the dark pursuing dreams.
First came the hard rock miners and those fearless farmers and ranchers; followed by the dam builders and now, today, high-tech wizards are taking Nevada beyond every horizon.
Evidence of Nevada's place in this high tech galaxy is the development of The Nevada Science and Technology Corridor------a rural land mass covering parts of three southern Nevada counties: Nye, Esmeralda and Lincoln. The corridor will establish a true, 21st century telecommunication network which will be the basis for the giant technology park's attracting new age, cutting-edge companies.
Anchoring the Corridor will be the Desert Space Station Museum. The museum will feature hands-on science exhibits and experiments along with historic items from science achievements over the past half-century. There'll also be a planetarium, theater and, scheduled lectures from noted men and women in the space science fields.
The location of The Nevada Science & Technology Park is in Amargosa Valley, less than two hours from downtown Las Vegas. It's easy to find, and drive to. Where Nevada State Road 373 intersects with U.S. Highway 95 is where you'll find The Science & Technology Park, The Desert Space Station Museum and their neighbor, NEVADA JOE'S.
You couldn't have a high tech industrial park, plus a science museum without some sort of a neighbor who knows what's going on, who knows the landscape, the country, the stories, legends. After all, this part of Nevada is off-limits, top secret, Area #51, no admittance, no trespassing, you're in Alien Country……….
And that is why Nevada Joe built, Nevada Joe's! What you have here is the ultimate rest stop, tourist attraction, information booth and sight-seeing area. This is the closest-non-government-operation where you can see it all, are close to it all: You can see fabled Yucca Mountain from Nevada Joe's. Your down the road from Groom Lake, Mercury. The Test Site; it's all around you, the mysteries of the Nevada Desert, where unidentified things fall from the sky.
This is where the next millieum in science starts, where it's happening. And Nevada Joe's is right in the middle of it.
Located at the same crossroads, U.S. 95 and U.S. 373, as the Desert Space Station Museum and The Science & Technology Park, Nevada Joe's is the ultimate pit stop, information booth, watering hole, sight-seeing area (you can see fabled Yucca Mountain from Nevada Joe's front door). There's Nevada Joe's restaurant, featuring his famous Steak Diablo, plus the Olde Miner's Saloon; a humungous convenience store; Shell Gas and Diesel Station. Of course, everything's open 24 hours. There's acres and acres of parking; easy tractor-trailer turn around, and, you bet, scores of souvenirs you'll just have to have! Oh,
did we tell you, Nevada Joe's has a helicopter pad. You want more information on this one of a kind place, call Nevada Joe's at (775) 372-1500.
So, when you going through, or coming through, going up, coming down, remember if you ain't been to Nevada Joe's then you ain't been to Nevada.
