I realize Vegas is a cynical experiment to begin with (hence sin city), but honestly that people seem to be more concerned about the nasty taxi drivers who often live to rip us off & make our rides creepy & uncomfortable MORE than a cheaper, faster, hassle-free way for folks to get to real places we need to be (eg the airport & back) is the height of Stockholm syndrome corruption. We deserve better & happier customers spend more money! The monorail had some good features, but it’s over! Let’s move on.

Makes me wonder if it was ever built to make a profit.
By not taking it to the airport and downtown, was a death blow to begin with.
What a waste.

I agree w Will & Sal S. Expand the route! 1 roure to & from the airport, another around both sides of the strip all the way to Fremont St. It will thrive!

The times I visited Las Vegas on business, I relied on the monorail to move me from place to place quickly and economically. I always stayed at the Hilton so I could enjoy Star Trek:The Experience in my off hours.
So, it seems that two major reasons for me scheduling business trips to Las Vegas are gone.
Goodbye Las Vegas, I’ll be taking my business to other cities now.

They should have bit the bullet and put it right down the middle of the strip. No one wants to walk a half mile back to go a mile down the road then a half mile back to the strip.

It doesn’t go anywhere you want to go. We paid a good sum of money to ride while we were there. It went to exactly none of the places we wanted to see. Was a total waste of money. The only benefit now is that it passes the sphere. Which was under construction then. We rode once got off, realized it wasn’t within like 8 blocks of what we wanted to see. Went back got on and headed back to where we started. Waste of time and money. A kid with crayons could create a better path than this thing takes.

I second JimmieA
If the monorail will run from the Airport to Freemont experience, it’ll be very, very, profitable , and please make it for people to be able to board without having to walk a mile, like it is now, meet locals and visitors halfway leaving the politics and mentality involved aside in regards of “show me the money planning”

I believe we all would agree that if it went to the airport it would make money. The only time the monorail makes money if any is during big conventions like the. CES.

It cannot be that hard to make parts for it, they made them already, they can make them again. This is 2024 ffs, humans are ingenuitive, there is always a solution. This is clearly about something else.

Underground isn’t a great idea. The best part of the monorail is that you can see (from above) sights on the Strip. And, of course, it takes you places. Expansion or connections would be best.

As a frequent visitor from Germany I never liked this monorail as it is too far away from the strip and too pricey to be an attractive way for tourists to explore the strip. I wondered why they didn’t put it ON the strip btw the lanes. In Europe it’s pretty common to have a tram oder highline on/above the main streets as well as the subway station underneath. Only if the walks to and from are convenient the passengers will use it – but thank god they installed the bus shuttles on the strip. Affordable. Especially with a multiple pass and surprisingly enough buses on route to keep waiting relatively short – unfortunately Vegas became that expensive that I won’t be back too soon. When been there last The city sold itself to F1 for the disadvantage of regular visitors who expected the fountains , volcanos and views of the strip etc

The Monorail can keep running indefinatly . With today’s CNC machines, 3D printers and computers and fabricators , totally doable. But we live in a disposable world. Vegas is the king of it. If it stops generating money, they implode it! Then simply build bigger, and charge the visitors for the upgrade. Eventually they will implode there own economy as people won’t want to pay high prices to visit a giant traffic jam and costly parking , overpriced food and drinks and rooms . Gambling is now Available at every other Indian Tribe Nation Teritory across the USA. So Las Vegas is losing its appeal.

Stupid to not build it to the Airport and save everyone lots of money and frustration getting back and forth to the strip. The regular workers can use this getting around town. Horrible to continue ignoring the local’s need for this to be expanded, not demolished.

It could have worked if it went to airport and by extension to downtown and future expansion to train station and if it were used as a foundation to build subway/tram line but as is it is sort of pointless.

Yup. As alomst everyone has pointed out the obvious, it should have gone to the airport at least. Also Fremont and NASCAR. I moved to Vegas in ’93. It would have been relatively easy to make it a practical alternative to the very poor taxi system. Still not too late. Just more expensive now. C’mon guys. We KNOW you have the $$!

My wife and i use the monorail every time we go to Las Vegas. The best part of it is the stop at the Westgate, which, in my opinion, is has the best sports book of any casino adjacent to the monorail.

We found out that it is faster to walk from Treasure Island to Rainforest Case (south of Paris) than to use the rail and walk through two casinos.

The Biden Administration should offer Infrastructure Act bucks to rebuild the whole thing, including stations at the Raiders home and the A’s future home.

Appease the taxis by prohibiting stations for Airport and Fremont Street.

And for goodness sake, lower the fare prices.

For the record, I have no ownership in TI, Westgate,or Rainforest Cafe!

The power corrupt and money hungry Robert Moses of Vegas is going to make millions. The monorail should be what Elon Musk is doing with the Boring tesla loop, going from airport to every casino.

I moved here from Manhattan 16 years ago. From day one I’ve heard nothing but sob stories about the Monorail system here in Las Vegas. Knowing that it would never make a profit I find chilling. That said, I think if they cut the ticket prices in half, perhaps more people would use it. The way it is positioned along the Strip, makes no sense to me at all. If an investor wanted to come in and extend it to the airport, it would begin catch on. I would certainly use it, as would most of my friends.

I use the monorail all the time. Locals only $1 one way. I park at Sahara or Westgate, free parking, and then go see a Knights or Raiders game. It’s more time sure, but it works. And I was planning to do the same for the A’s.

This is sad news but unsurprising given the stubborn (read: stupid) politics from the monolithic taxi lobby that eventually lost to rideshare anyway. Fortunately no tax payer dollars were ever used in the construction of the Monorail. Now that LVCVA has the Boring Company underground I’m sure that will be the focus of the future.

Sorry, but this a horribly written article. This really isn’t meant to troll anyone but it’s well past time to insist on better writing for online content. If the main point of this article is intended to be that the monorail will soon be closed (as the headline suggests), that was not actually stated though the caption of one photo stated it is “due to be decommissioned within four to six years”. Who says so? Shouldn’t that source be included in the article?

But then there’s mention on the “third hint”. The first and second hints were never mentioned nor what was being hinted at. That’s a lot of writing in circles and getting nowhere.

Please God, bring back actual capable editors. It should not be difficult to state a hypothesis and then support it with facts. Or, if it’s appropriate, start at the beginning of a story and end at the end of it. It’s not too much to ask. It’s great that pocketable screens have democratized writing, but it also seems to have increased the volume of writing that’s not worth reading.

It needs to go where the people go in large numbers. Airport, Allegiant, T-Mobile, New baseball stadium, entire length of the strip.

Slowly las vegas is shooting themselves in the foot..honestly we all know tropicana was dying out but the best thing they’re going to replace it with is a baseball stadium oh that’s nice thats exactly why I will go to Vegas to watch baseball..not really. Now they want to take out the monorail …I go to Vegas every year and every year I buy a 7 day pass for myself and my wife…with that gone gonna have have to figure something else out or just avoid the long stays if any..its becoming less attractive to go I’ll just go somewhere else.

Like some have mentioned here, the monorail was a joke from the beginning… only operates behind casinos on East of Strip, doesn’t go to airport or Fremont Street and takes forever to get to/from it thru casinos. The right thing to do is make Musk even more wealthy than he is now… tunnel from airport directly under the strip all the way to Fremont(light rail to speedway). Make an underground route to Alegient as a spur, with stops(ADA complient) at the major hotels and/or intersections. DONE

As an Engineer and Designer, I would like to see the Strip hotels “turned around” for primary vehicle access (Rideshare, taxis, limos, buses etc.) facing toward the hotel “rear” East and West respectively and utilize a minimal traffic light, one way or dual loop configuration. Eliminate vehicle access altogether on the Las Vegas Blvd. Due to overburdening traffic, it is now obsolete and way too busy. I would then put a light rail system, monorail, or people mover system all along the entire 9 mile stretch of Las Vegas Blvd starting from Sunset or Warm Springs all the way through Downtown’s Casino Center Drive … and extend it further to the north Motor Speedway and perhaps Reid (given city approval) at a later time.

The monorail should have been updated and expanded. Instead of Musk’s failed expensive looney tune tunnels, the monorail could have addressed all of Las Vegas people moving and parking problems. It’s also affordable.

I’d hope they consider keeping it. I use it to travel the strip whenever I go over there. We need some form of life ght rail or something too much traffic and now building a baseball stadium on that busy corner .. SMH Vegas officials get with it!

That monorail should be going to the all sport arenas, the airport and connect downtown to the strip.

When I was younger in the mid ’90s, I lived and went to school in Las Vegas, me and my friends always use this monorail to get between hotels to go to the arcade and one thing that I always noticed is the majority of people who visit Vegas had absolutely no clue that there was a free monorail behind the casinos, when I used to go to it it was completely free but it seems like now they are charging. I feel like one of the biggest problems this place had was lack of awareness by tourists that it was even an option or that it was even cheap enough or basically free at a certain time, I think if they would have worked a little bit more on advertising it, it would have probably been a lot more popular but it’s always seems so hidden away and it’s impossible for you to know about it unless you are purposely seeking. I hope they come up with some kind of transportation system in Las Vegas because it just seems like it should be a pretty simple idea especially in a state where summertime averages about 125° f and tourists always underestimate the distances that they’re walking.

First one needs to happen is we prevent anyone from California to continue to move to our city. Then prevent any company coming in and purchasing land in order to build homes on top of each other. Then we need to focus on taking care of our locals that have blood sweat and tears into building the city. Then we can stop allowing California teams to move and build stadiums when we can use those funds to fund our schooling. We can focus on transportation thereafter

We need the monorail it helps us have a reliable form of transportation to avoid busy packed streets and get to business designations and work as well as leisure it also helps our tourist be able to get around the city easier more effective and our choice love the way that they could see and view the city from it it’d be a huge mistake too destroy the monorail there’s got to be a way to save it and make it better for everyone

Remember when they built the monorail back in 95 with a price tag of $650,000,000 in muni bonds? In other words, the issuer of those bonds (Clark county and the city of Las Vegas) used their power to tax the residents in order to pay the bondholders; even after the monorail went bankrupt and thus failed.

And guess what? Now they’ve approved an electric train between CA and Las Vegas for the low taxpayer cost of $1 billion from the Department of Transportation and another $7.2 billion from the Transportation Federal Railroad Administration. Not that $8.2 billion could be used for something a little more important then hastening the separation of gullible tourists from their money. Why not waste billions building a high speed train in one of the most earthquake prone regions in North America.

I’m just a visiting tourist, but wouldn’t extending the monorail to the airport put a lot of cabbies and rideshares out of business?
