exhausted from vegas, pulled in around 9pm very accommodating, clean (clean enough), and front desk extremely nice. Safe.
It is okay. JUST okay. $18 for me and two teens. Yes it is a real ghost town. and YES it has been "revised" for tourists. The people who work there are completely OVER IT and you can see it in their faces. The chick who worked the "saloon" with the piano outside was basically asleep when we walked in. I cannot imagine anyone actually sitting down for a meal there. I am glad we saw it. I am also very glad I don't work there.
TIP: Do NOT park and go across the new Tillman Bridge. It is way high up, windy as hell, and crowded as hell. Take the lower road so that you can be actually ON the dam. That is where you want to be. Trust me.
WORTH IT. GO GO GO GO GO. This was the very last stop on a long trip from Oceanside, CA to the Grand Canyon. We stopped along the way to stretch our legs and see little things along the road. This was around $60 a car but the lady charged $20 a person which is the same but I am just trying to figure out the price on the website (?) Anyhow, you stay in your car and drive slowly through the park. It was very nice. The kids LOVED it. but of course the best part was the bear section. These guys were right up against our car. Just wonderful and worth it. GO!
