The Death Valley Inn

Sam: Now that the borax mine is tapped out, nobody needs our railroad anymore. What should we do?

Joe: Letʼs build a four-diamond hotel at the end of the line to lure rich people from Los Angeles into the middle of nowhere, then start a big media campaign to convince Congress to make the land around it a national park so people wonʼt be scared to come to a place named Death Valley.

Sam: Sounds good to me!

And thatʼs pretty much what happened.
