This thread is borderline silly. Anyone can go to the border of Groom Lake. It's big tourist business. Crossing the border is another story.
To see the base, you need to climb Tikaboo Peak and it is too late in the year for sane people to do that. How do I know? Well I camped out on the
peak once in November after the Nellis Aviation Nation. Mighty cold at 8000ft feet in November. The inside of the tent was covered with condensation
from by breath. It was so cold I lit a fire which certainly gave away any stealthiness I had. You can hear the temperature on the Groom VOR and it was
beneath freezing on the ground.
I don't make a habit of visiting the Little Alien, but I have on occasion met military contractors there. Incidentally, it is expected that a
military exercise called MAFEX will occur on November 17th. It is not announced, so that is just a guess. The day before the exercise, Nellis will
post a large force NOTAM. The trick is the planes arrive for MAFEX from their bases rather than stage from Nellis, so the activity starts early in the
day of the NOTAM, not necessarily during the times posted on the NOTAM. The exercise is held in May and November.
