Just another way of taking your freedom.... they tell you when you can go and how far you can go.
They always loose money and the only ones that love them are the parasite unions and their bosses of the nipple.
I'm a former native New Yorker (born in Brooklyn) and even I can't see any purpose for a monorail on the Vegas strip.
When my wife and I were there we'd walk the entire length of the strip up and down 5 times in a day. What's a monorail for?
It seems that a monorail would be counter productive in that you'd miss a lot of hot-spots being that so many of the kool places are bunched up together.
An FYI as an aside; coming from an area where public transportation is ubiquitous only causes one to despise it, not desire it.
