Company Description

There has been a travel plaza at the intersection of I-15 and Cheyenne Avenue in N. Las Vegas, Nevada for over 45 years. It started out as a Husky in 1973 and remained so until 1986 when Flying J purchased Husky Oil’s American truck stops. The business has been run by the same family since 1977. Morton Smith became a Husky lessee in June 1977 with his wife, Hazel, along with daughter, Kristy, and son-in-law Tom Cotrell. In 1985 their two sons, Mark and Roger joined the team. In 1986 when Husky Oil was purchased by Flying J, the family acquired the Cheyenne Ave. property. Morton’s became the very first Flying J franchise. There have been four complete remodels of the facility through the years to keep it fresh, the latest one completed in 2009. The family owned business started a new chapter in March 2011 when it became Morton’s Travel Plaza with no major brand identification until branded with Valero March 2011 which ended Feb 2022 which then became Sinclair. Tom & Kristy are currently 100 % owners.

Same clean location, same great service, and same friendly people to meet the trucking industry’s needs.
