If it went straight down the strip, instead of ending up a half mile from the casinos at the end, y'all might have more people using it. We saw it by accident, and thought we'd give it a shot. We used it once! Yep, the Mr said "Why don't you just drive?" Pfft! Yeah...right! After going down there, he saw why. LOL Dan, the monorail in Vegas really isn’t all that convenient.

It is privately funded andit will go bankrupt in a few years. So, unless you want to fund the lite rail with massive tax subsidies, thenit is not a good idea.

In Charlotte recently the voters voted to keep the transit tax and in Utah in 2006 they voted to support funding for it.
