Drink
The serving of hard liquors has been prohibited since 1947, and the predominantly LDS culture has left the city with no nightclubs, bars, or coffee shops. Restrictions on sales of alcohol have recently been eased as the city has grown, and it is now possible to purchase beer and wine at some restaurants (Applebees which is outside city limits). But you can purchase alcohol in stores or always make some moonshine!
Sleep
Super 8, Quality Inn, and nicer places like AmericInn and Marriott.
