4.5Castaneda Hotel(71 reviews) - Great restoration of a Las Vegas treasure! Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
We have worried about the fate of this hotel since we first vacationed in Las Vegas 30+ years ago, and are thrilled that it has been restored! The bed was comfortable, shower had great pressure and nice hot water. We had a nice view of the tracks so we could see the daily passenger trains arrive. The front desk staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food and drinks at the bar were excellent, as was the outdoor dining on the deep covered porches. Hopefully next time we return the new restaurant will be ready too. And maybe an excursion train to the sister property in Winslow? We will definitely return!See more..
This light sanctuary on the United World College campus(5 miles north of Las Vegas, NM) is not all that well known, even among locals. A nice place to stop and relax, reflect and enjoy the tranquility of the space. While you used to be able to simply drive up and walk to the sanctuary, you now must leave an ID with security at the UWC entrance.See more..

4.0United States Post Office - Los Alamos(1 review) - Worth a look (on the National Register of Historic Places) Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
During World War II, Los Alamos was so secret that mail and freight for the thousands of residents was addressed to Post Office Box 1663 in Santa Fe. The Los Alamos post office opened in 1948. There's a series of ornamental thunderbird grilles in its windows; underneath the windows inside are original mail sorting tables. It's a mixture of Modern and Territorial Revival design. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Many years ago, there was a long series of service windows opposite the front door for buying postage, shipping and picking up mail. That service has been moved to a window near the back door. Out the back door, you can enter the historic Community Center shopping area, now called Central Park Square. It's a unique area, with stores and offices joined by covered walkways.See more..
