Hybrid DST/DC-3 over the Hoover Dam which was completed in 1935. The highway over the dam still looks incomplete. TWA's transcontinental route called at nearby Boulder City, rather than Las Vegas. Photo from: Life

Clearly an advertising shoot with daisy-fresh 'overnight passengers' disembarking from a TWA 'Luxury Sky-Sleeper'. Although the 'widebody' DC-3 was expensively redesigned from the DC-2 as a sleeper plane, it never became popular as such. TWA's DC-3B already had a smaller, convertible sleeper cabin, with fewer upper windows than the original DST. NC17312 was commandeered by the USAAF as a C-84, but returned to TWA in 1943.
