Well, that "Monster" monorail is only a special monorail train paid for by the people behind Monster (another source of cash for the monorail...advertising). The others will just be the plain looking white and blue trains.

Can't wait to take to take the train when it opens next year the next time I will probably be in Las Vegas. I've been following the construction relatively closely (from that monorail site), and I'm pretty impressed at the speed of construction as well as the relatively ease. Monorail in Las Vegas will be a boon.

Oh I have no problems with painting the cars with advertising. I think it's a great idea for enhancing revenues and should be done with the rest of the cars as well. It's just that I'd aestheticly prefer to see the cars also have a paintjob in a style with more universal appeal. Some of the design elements should also be uniform from car to car to give the train a look of sleek cohesiveness. Not a conflicting/contrasting mishmosh that'll look like randomly linked garbage that was just tossed together.

I guess everybody has a different opinion as to what looks nice. ;^)
