Checking Amtrak, a 1 way trip* would be $470, take 76 1/2 hours and consist of: 4:35 bus trip from Houston to Longview, TX 15:40 train trip to Springfield, IL 2:15 bus trip to Galesburg, IL 31:27 train trip to Salt Lake City, UT 8:05 bus trip to Las Vegas. plus lots of layover time at each connection. * round trip fails to find a route Edited by SpiceWare Nov. 17, 2010, 09:08:15 PM EST Expand All History
