Since I seem to be surrounded by the Sun Cities, It's hard to drive by any large parking lot where they aren't picking up people in those large comfy buses taking them to either local casinos or overnight trips to Laughlin, NV. Most of those trips are either free, or they give the riders tokens and coupons worth more than they paid. I'm not sure that some of those that take these trips aren't there just for the ride and entertainment and good food at the other end, not to gamble.

I'm not sure that taking the train wouldn't be a step up from taking the bus for the retirees in So Cal. It would be around here if they ever run a train from Phoenix to Las Vegas instead of an Interstate highway. I might choose to go just for the ride and other amenities.
