Palm Springs is around 4 hours from Vegas, but pretty close to Cajon and Los Angeles which may have cheaper flights.
If you look at PTTs in the late 50s'/60s (to the end of passenger service), UP used the "Overland Route" as its nickname!

Just 21 left now; a little digging and checking of video/photos of the last month show just these below of the type to still be flying the Southern Pacific flag...
