Las Vegas Monorail Opens!
LAS VEGAS - After months of delays, Las Vegas launched a $650 million monorail Thursday that shuttles gamblers to casinos on the Strip while easing traffic along the stretch of glittering resorts.
Moments after the monorail opened to the public, a trickle of curious tourists paid the fare and boarded the sleek trains not knowing what to expect.
Their answer came quickly as the fully automated, four-car trains zoomed around the 3.9-mile, Z-shaped track, depositing them at various hotel-casino stations without any major problems.

This is really cool. Combining ecologically responsible transportation with gambling, booze, and whores is a great idea! Why hasn't this been done before?
