Space Age Lodge: Gila Bend, Arizona

©Space Age Lodge The Space Age Lodge in Gila Bend, Arizona, offers out-of-this-world accommodations.

Now operating under the Best Western flag, the Space Age Lodge is the brainchild of Leo Stovall, who also opened a similar -- since-shuttered -- Anaheim, California, property down the street from Disneyland.

Built in 1965, the Gila Bend location is centered on a building that appears to be the landing pad for a flying saucer.

If history excites you more than the Great Beyond, see the next page for details on the Wigwam Hotel.
