If you are renting a car, take the drive. Nothing really there. You can have coffee in a trailer that they make into a diner.
Take I-15 north to U.S. 93 North (paying close attention -- it's an easy exit to miss; if you do, you can take NV 168 at Moapa west back to U.S. 93), and then get off at the E. T. Highway, a 98-mile stretch of NV 375. The town of Rachel is approximately 43 miles away; the "black mailbox" (it's now white) road, which leads you to Area 51, actually comes first, about 17 miles down the highway. (We strongly suggest going to Rachel first, to get your bearings, chat with knowledgeable locals and other alien-spotters, and pick up some literature, including a good local map.) Turn left and keep driving; any of the dirt roads that lead off of it will get you to the Area 51 fence and gates. Veer right at the fork in the road (not the ranch turnoff, which you come to first) if you want to go to the most commonly talked about entrance, the one at Groom Lake (though you can't see the lake from where you are forced to stop).

I don't think so. A lot of talking/storytelling and looking at fences, no actual interesting sights. All you can see looks just like the perimeter of any military bombing range. Long ride too!

I've been there a year ago and it was $20... But we got a resident discount so it was really $15 for us.

I don't think it'd be worth it to me... that's at least four hours out of my day where I could be gambling, drinking, or shopping!!
