Mel's Diner


(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

No, this isn't the same Mel's Diner made famous by TV's Alice,

but it did catch my photographic eye and it is a nice neon sign

that would make a great postcard.

It's a cute little diner located on the scenic route in Boulder City

on the way to Las Vegas' famous Lake Mead

and the incredibly amazing wonderous awe of Hoover Dam.

  1. JarieLyn,
    Surely you and I are much too young to remember Mels Diner and the TV show Alice, aren't we? Remember "Kiss my grits!"

    Great photo, love the clouds in the background. You do have a photographic eye!

  3. I think it's fun to try small local eateries, esp the dives. That's where some of the very best food can be found! Love your photo, great shot!

  7. We had a chain of Mel's Diners here in Florida for a number of years. They closed the one in New Port Richey a couple of years ago. The sign is still there though and it looks like this one.

    It had very good food and the breakfasts were great.

  8. mel's dinner...now that brought back some TV memories...

    we've come along way haven't we....maybe in a bad way, based on how good the "real shows" were back then....

  11. That's a pretty cool photo. I watched "Alice" when I was a kid and your picture did make me automatically think of it. BTW, thanks for that suggestion for a photo book. The photos on that site http://www.nowordz.com/ are wonderful!!

  13. One thing about Nevada, it seems the lights never burn out. When you see signs here, half the time there are burnt out light bulbs. Really cute shot.
