Heads up! This is the last fuel station and convenience store before Lake Las Vegas and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This location seems to be recently added to Yelp. I say this because I have been here quite a few times in the past on the way to Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Lake Las Vegas area adventures.
The Lake Mead Parkway at Olsen Street Chevron/Terribles represents more than fuel. It also represents water. The premises feature a touchless car wash, which is my car wash of choice. If I lived close by, I'd probably be checking-in more. There convenience store represents water in bottled water, Gatorade, colas, fountain beverages, and other drinks.
From my experiences this is the perfect place to hydrate before and on nearby hiking adventures. Even better than the CVS across Lake Mead Parkway. It is connected to the Lake Mead Parkway Trail which connects to the River Mountains Loop Trail and to Wetlands Park via the Wetlands Trail Connector. Last week when I was hiking back from Wetlands Park, I became very thirsty (I ought to write a list on businesses that rehydrated me on long hikes). Walking from the Wetlands Connector Trail towards Cadence there were zero convenience stores until I got to Chevron/Terribles. Chevron/Terribles was a convenience store mirage in a food desert. I made a beeline for the Cole Freestyle machine. For less than $2, I rehydrated with a large Fanta strawberry Zero fountain drink outside at the shadeless picnic table.
On account of the fact that it is the last fuel station/convenience store on the way to Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Lake Las Vegas, and the service and presentation is solid; I am rounding up my rating to Four Stars. This business has come through for me before and most recently on a hiking adventure. read more
