I liked Elko, home to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. The motel was right off of Hwy 50 and basically in the center of this small town. I was a little disappointed that I left before breakfast was served (7:00). There are Nevada motels such as in Ely where breakfast is served bright and early!
