Clue #1 - The Parlor Cars are full, which would seem to indicate that the
higher end clientele might just for the overnight stay
Clue #2 - It's different, it's an experience, appeals to people who are
looking for more than just a train ride
Clue #3 - As Earl said, it worked before
Clue #4 - As skirted, mentioned, etc in previous posts it ups the stakes
ie the room quality of those hotels who want to play. Those who don't can
quietly shut up once they realize that the rules are the rules
Clue #5 - I agree with Mr. Cole, it keeps people in town, puts more money
into the restaurants, the mall, the IMAX theater (nyuk-nyuk), a plus for
the community
Other than that I've got nothing.
