For those inclined to learn more about conspiracy theories, Area 51 holds a certain sway that very few other parts of the country do. One thing that can be said without any controversy is that Area 51 is a real place—an active military training ground, in fact. But the frequent claims of UFO sightings and persistent rumors of alien lifeforms being kept there have transformed the area surrounding an otherwise unremarkable desert base into a popular tourist attraction. If you're looking for something fun, interesting, and out-of-this-world to do on your next trip to Nevada, here are just three reasons why an Area 51 tour might be a perfect choice. 

Exploring Points of Interest

While you won't be able to get access to the base itself, you can definitely spend a day or two exploring all the points of interest that have cropped up in recent decades. Whether it's the town of Rachel, the Extraterrestrial Highway, or the Little A'Le'Inn, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, joining an Area 51 tour means not having to worry about navigating between these various spots, which can actually be quite difficult in the vast, sparsely populated desert of Nevada.

Enjoying the Outdoors

There is a lot more to Area 51 than the wonderfully weird rumors about military secrets and intergalactic visitors. Those who join an Area 51 tour will have the chance to enjoy the stunning natural scenery as well. Many tours make it a point to stop at places where you can take pictures of Joshua trees (which look quite otherworldly on their own), take in the incredible views of the Nevada desert during sunset, and take a closer look at pristine examples of Native American rock art. While none of these make for a main attraction by themselves, they can satisfy those looking for a chance to spend time in a beautiful corner of our own planet.

Convenience

If you are staying in nearby Las Vegas for most of your vacation, there's no need to worry about logistics. Area 51 tour operators can easily pick you up from your hotel and drop you off later the same day. Most tours also offer complimentary snacks and drinks in between stops at noteworthy lunch spots. These included conveniences are just one more reason why joining an Area 51 tour makes more sense than trying to plan everything by yourself.
