Speaking of Attractions -

There's nothing in Nevada more attractive than Eureka & Palisades #4, so why not spend just a little more money and extend the third (narrow gauge) rail from where it currently ends near the museum all the way west, over the pass, and well into Henderson.  Seeing #4 chugging alongside the highway once or twice a month should entice more than a few people to take the next exit to find out, "Just what the Hell is going on??"
