Arco AM PM

All the usual pluses and minuses. Fountain drinks are all the usual suspects. Employees aren’t any better or worse than expected.
Gas is usually at least a dime cheaper than the others in the neighborhood if you pay cash.
Try to go so that you are traveling WITH traffic flow or getting in and out can be a bitch!

Came here to grab gas on the go. Las Vegas Gas is more expensive compare to Washington. I am guessing petroleum taxes here must be higher. So came over to grab a few things and pick up gas. Nothing too special about this place. Arco is Arco and it is one of the cheaper gas station if you are comparing the prices to say Shell or other competitors.
I have noticed a lot of Californian coming over to fill up gas during December. But what can I say my license plate is WA.

A review of a gas station !!! are you kiddin’ me ??
I can’t help it– this is my «local» gas station. Some people have their local bar/​tavern, others have their local nail or hair salon, maybe their local liquor store — i say more power to anyone that has a local anything. Now granted, most people equate «local» to a mom/​pop biz and usually i do to, but sorry, i guess this is my exception to the rule.
what’s so great about this place? as a guy that drives from so cal to vegas virtually every week, i keep an eye on gas prices — more often then not, this place has the best prices (my other favs are the arco on charleston near 3^rd and the arco on lamb and owen)
what else? i usually make the trip back to so cal early in the morning (before the dogs eat bk) so of course i need a cup of java — i ain’t a coffee expert — in fact, didn’t drink coffee (maybe 1 – 2 cups a YEAR) until last summer — now, 2 – 3 cups /​week. it’s not the coffee that impresses me at arco, but the «creamer dispenser «- 4 different creamers — put the cup under the creamer dispenser, hit the button, perfect !!
i like those blue bunny (or is it bunny blue? somethin’ like that !) ice creams — $ 1.50 — either the turtle, the nascar or the strawberry sandwich — i swear they made that one just for me — i used to buy the neopolitan, eat the strawberry part then threw the rest away. Is this hagen daaz quality? of course not ! but i still like it.
i like that they usually have the window squeegee thingies to clean all that bug shit off my windows and grill .
finally — i really like the characters that use this station — sometimes i’m there at 3 am, sometimes 3 pm — i’ve seen fist fights because someone cut-​off another to get to a gas pump (i guess we’ll call this a form of road rage) i’ve seen guys jump out of limos when they see hot babes pumping gas and throw out their best alcohol — slurred pick-​up lines … and it worked ! surprisingly, i rarely get anybody asking for $$ (i get more of that at the 7 – 11 at decatur/​trop …a fav hang-​out for the bums on the westside — they lost their «housing «across the street when all the brush was removed
and of course, my favs — the taxi-​cab drivers. my guess, this is the #1 gas station for the cabbies (several of the cabbie businesses are just up the street) — pure entertainment !
Vegas Baby !
