Downtown street in Truth or Consequences

"What will it be? Truth or Consequences? Fortunately, in the New Mexico town quizzically called Truth or Consequences, you can have both. Originally called Hot Springs, the town changed its name thanks to Ralph Edwards, host of a famous quiz show called "Truth or Consequences."

Truth be told, the town is a destination for wellness tourism as it is sandwiched between Elephant Butte Lake and Caballo Lake, as well as neighboring a few therapeutic hot springs. And as a consequence of its quirky popularity, the town is the site of the world’s first commercial spaceport called Spaceport America. If you need a few days sampling the oddities and unique charms of Truth or Consequences, then book rooms at the Rocket Inn or Sierra Grande Lodge & Spa."
