Vegas: Monorails v. Gridlock
TimeTrip writes "Vegas seems to be taking a little cue from Disney. 'Las Vegas, which never stops thinking big, has just embarked on its most ambitious, costly attempt to solve a problem that once seemed impossible to have in this sprawling desert valley: gridlock. It is building the nation's largest monorail system.'"
Or maybe they'll be taking their cue from Lyle Lanly. Frankly this sounds more
like a Shelbyville idea.
For a population of 2 million, why?
I mean, they have a bus transportation system (the CAT bus, which apparently sucks, but anyway)
The world... she makes no sense!

Might I suggest changing your sig...
No doubt they'll find some way to install slot machines on the monorail too - or even maybe a blackjack table in the restaurant car!

Hey, it's like a bumper sticker that says "Take Mass Transit!" Every driver I know wants everyone else to take mass transit, may be this guy wants everyone else to boycott Slashdot comments.
I was planning on pointing out that for years the Mafia built and controlled Las Vegas. They are not the type to abide by anyone's wishes but their own. They may put their money where their mouth is, but they also put their guns where their money is.
Also, I was planning to say that there is little to no native wildlife to worry about. Sure, there are a few cactuses ('cacti' looks so idiotic) and lizards left, but most everything has already been transmorgified into the perfect vacation spot. Why do any environmental impact studies when there isn't any environment left?
As I say, I was planning on posting this response to your post, but then I saw your sig. Since I know you are obviously boycotting Slashdot right now, there is no point in saying any of this. It will just be ignored.
