Republic Airways had contracts with the Laughlin(IFP) casinos for a while and flew E190s all around the West Coast on special charters for all inclusive packages. I was told that if you commit to stay a certain number of nights and gamble a certain amount, the flight was free. The nature of these flights was usually a "triangle" route connecting 2 cities to IFP in one flight. This one was routing IFP-MOD-SJC-IFP, and is seen here arriving on the short hop from Modesto.
