>>Boondoggle much? Initially $24 million, but does that include kick backs and union bribes?

It will come in at a little under a cool 1/2 Billion.
You heard it here first.
It always amazed me (and I’ve seen such stupidity elsewhere) that they build this big fancy people mover and don’t connect it to the airport. How much did city planners get paid off by the taxi lobby to not add the most single useful stop?
MGM unloaded that money-losing white Rhino a decade ago onto the city.
It seems to me that shuttle bus service to the stadium would make sense, especially since the times it has to run is pretty limited... just when there's an event at the stadium.
—I was working for the private tram that runs from Excalibur to Mandalay Bay at the time the original planned route came out in the paper—
—all eleven of us working there agreed that it would be a failure as it didn’t get anyone from where they were to where they wanted to be—
-we figured the whole idea was to eventually get Harry Reid to taxpayer-fund an extension to the airport—
one and a quarter miles .... expected to cost about $24 million.
lolol
Mobsters, teamsters, Unionists, payoffs to contractors, kickbacks to local officials, etc. etc.
These cost sure do add up, huh?
I think you misunderstood, the $24 Million is just for the Payoffs and Kickbacks!
Can you imagine 20,000+ Raider Fan marauding through the casinos on the way back from a losing game? The cops will be busy.
Lol! Nevada goes blue. Green boondoggles begin. Rotfl.
Is there ever a public transportation monorail that isn’t a boondoggle?
I have been to Vegas once - fifteen years ago in 2004, shortly after the monorail opened. They were talking about extending it way back then.
