Amtrak dose not run a train thru Las Vegas, any longer, Needles, Ca. is the closest city. The only trains that go thru the Cajon Pass on way to Las Vegas are freight trains (70 trains a day) many delays and at best attaching x-train cars would be a 61/2 hr.trip from LA . You can drive faster (non-peak hrs.) and have a car in LV cost over 200.00 R.T. with taxes, this has been talked about for years, and studies show no way to be profitable. Amtrak has huge Government subsidies, and still runs in the red big time. Flying is faster and cheaper, and driving is way cheaper. Probably a stock scam. Beware!
