Back in the '60s, you could take a "gamblers' special" DC3 flight to ElCap in Hawthorne from Burbank CA for $10 - - about 6pm to 6 am. Got a $10 meal chitty too.

Small town, with a one-room whorehouse. The place would vibrate if you dropped $25 chip on a table.

It truly was a gamblers' special as the the plane went down in Fed '69 and wasn't found for 6 months. Dodged that bullet!
