Imagine catching the the excursion train around dinner time - maybe have dinner onboard in the dining car - cross over the Salt Flats at sunset (it will take a train at least 2 hours to get there at conventional speeds, probably more since that is a VERY busy Union Pacific freight route), arrive in Wendover just at dark, Party in Wendover for a few hours, make your way back to the train, and sleep it off on your way back to SLC.
I don't know how large the market for that sort of thing is here, but it could work.

If this ever happened and priced well, Wendover would explode over night.
