It's empty, implying business isn't going great for the saloon

Vienna
Dressed in dark clothing, shows that she's a strong presence as are the men who work for her
She's wearing trousers, giving her a masculine presence because woman weren't typically shown in trousers within these films
However, she fits into the typical cowgirl stereotype with her wearing trousers because this was how they established that the woman within the film is strong and independent
