Yes, but why doesnt it go to the airport! Must be to protect the taxi cab revenue.

--the airport and Cashman Field were to be in Phase 2, (taxpayer totally subsidized) which has already been put off due to poor ridership--

The same question came up with respect to the light rail system in Baltimore, that was planned when I was still working for the Planning Commission there. The potentially highest volume lines were built first, the lowest volume last.

So in Baltimore, the last leg built was to the airport. Las Vegas being a more linear city, the airport connection is coming along more quickly.
