The former service station across the road from the Amargosa Opera House

An old sign announces good food (food no longer available) and lodging (still available) at the opera-house complex across the road.

There is, however, a restaurant space for rent directly across the road at the front of the motel complex.

I consider renting a room here and staying the night, especially because octogenerian Marta Becket, the reason the opera house still exists here, is doing one of her performances tonight.

However, I'm very much looking forward to the hot tubs at Tecopa Hot Springs later on, and an easy day ride to China Ranch tomorrow.
