My parents get these free charter flights to small casino areas in Nevada (Elko/Laughlin) that fly out of topeka and make stops at other random small airports on the way.
Wait, what?

You have heard or "Churning" to get free airline miles with CC's right? My dad does that with Casinos.

Buy in for a hundred at the craps table, play some minimum bets for a while then cash out chips at the cage.

Take that same hundred from the cage to a different table and play for a while then cash out chips etc etc. At the end of the day the casino shows that he bought in for $1000 when he was actually using the same $200 all day.

The casinos in the Podunk NV towns are desperate for customers during the week and will fly you out and give you free rooms.

LD's @ $15,000/day is quite something.  The airport is going to get a pretty serious discount.

If the schedule was tight from the start, I am sure those guys covered their ass and bid some LDs into the project.  That is what I always had to do with our airport projects in Wichita.  If we managed to get done on time, it was a bonus.

Pretty light TBH. Guess it depends on the size of the contract. Had a 3 mil contract with $6000/day. It didn't matter

Isn't there an airstrip out by Jordy's house where we can land jets carrying our elite recruits?

Those i80 towns in Nevada are like two hotels, a gas station and two casinos.
