Of course Americans are in love with cars, but isn’t the best solution for Vegas an above ground streetcar? Relatively short distance, sufficient space (so no need to dig underground), high capacity.
I’ve been stunned that the Vegas strip doesn’t have some kind of real transit system for decades now.
They didn’t even let the new HSR line come to the Strip itself. It stops outside of the area and people have to taxi in. Why the casino owners weren’t fighting over who got the HSR stop in their casino I’ll never understand. Wouldn’t you want those trains to drop off thousands of possible marks right on your doorstep? No, instead they get dropped in the desert and have to wander to wherever in town.
