2. You can argue the type, style, and logistics of light rail vs. a bus system....

but quite frankly, the casinos could put up a state of the art rail system in a week.

When we see perfectly functional yet monstrous hotel casinos demolished just for the sake of building another one in its place, that sort of indicates that they could easily solve one of Vega’s problems at the drop of a coin. (Pun intended)

As we all know, obscene amounts of money are generated on the illusion of a “game of chance.” The casinos know exactly how much money they are going to pay out, and what is it, 10% or so? That’s the science of skunking, and every poor sap knows it when they go in to donate.

The good news is that it could be spun that the taxpayers actually built the new rail system as it was a result of losing their post tax dollars at the casinos. What fun.
