Las Vegas Monorail Finally Ready To Open

doormat writes "The Las Vegas monorail is finally set to open to the public on July 15th! The project has had some problems - it was originally scheduled to open in March. The first part of the monorail, which uses Bombardier M-VI train vehicles, 'a derivative of the famous Walt Disney World Mark VI trains', is 4 miles long and connects several casinos on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip (see map, QT video), as well as the Las Vegas Convention Center (Home to CES, NAB, Networld+Interop and what was Comdex). Future phases seek to expand the monorail to downtown to the North, the west side of the strip, and eventually the University and the airport (which the taxicab and limo groups fight tooth and nail). I swear it's the strip's only choice... throw up your hands and raise your voice! Monorail, Monorail, Monorail! Mono... D'oh!"

funny, we had the monrail episode on channel ten last night (sydney australia). No sh#t. I'd provide a link to prove it, but can't find an online tv guide that shows yesterdays programs. Anyone else in sydney want to verify it for me. Otherwise you can take my word for it.

got fp the other day first time ever. now gotta get a story submit accepted and then my lifes ambitions have been met.

You could teach us how to have really high unemployment. That'd be grand.

Oh wait, you were being sarcastic. My bad.
