#route66: The El Rancho Hotel Was the Headquarters For the Movie “Ace In the Hole”

This Hollywood hotspot was the base for a notable film by a legendary writer-director.

Funny bit of trivia about Gallup, New Mexico: Route 66 passes through it, but so does another highway which used to be called Highway 666. In 2003 the New Mexico governor got the name changed because of the satanic associations with the 666 number.

You’ll find no demons, however, at Gallup’s most notable lodging: the El Rancho Hotel.

Only the ghosts of old Hollywood.
