The Desert Wind largely duplicated the route of the former '' City Of Los Angeles '' operated by Chicago And North Western Railway and Union Pacific Railroad until May 1 , 1971 when Amtrak took over passenger rail operations in the United States . The Desert Wind was discontinued in 1997 due to budget cuts and replaced with Los Angeles-Las Vegas Thruway Motorcoach service. Although there are currently plans to restore rail service to Las Vegas with a new, privately-funded High-speed line called the Desert Xpress , as of 2007 no work has begun and Las Vegas continues to have no passenger rail service.
