I was one of 11 employees at the free tram which runs from Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay--Is the free tram still running?

—you weren’t on the monorail—you were on a tram, privately funded and built by casinos —

Maybe so, but it was called a monorail at the time and it looked just like the one at Disneyworld.

Maybe what I rode was the free tram because we were staying at the Mandalay Bay at the time.

650 million? somebody's fudging those numbers. They had to lay the rail, sure. But the cars they bought
used from Disneyland. CC

Typical light rail projects cost $100,000,000.00 per mile.
The monorail was a bargain.

I read the article wrong. I think this thing cost even more than a typical light rail system.

I’ll give you 5 to 1 odds that Las Vegas didn’t think this through.

from what I recall, the best thing they could do is run it TO the airport, with a long tern goal of running it between the airport and freemont street.
Cabbies can get the big fares and the street hails.

yepSo they spend $600 million to replace a 'free' service?
I wish I was that good a salesman.

Expand it to run both to the airport, and to downtown, and they will get plenty of riders.
