Letter: Las Vegas long overdue for subway system

Friday, July 16, 1999 | 9:38 a.m.

Is there any reason why a subway has not yet been constructed under the Strip? Such a project could easily be financed by an increased hotel tax, and would drastically reduce the amount of foot and vehicle traffic on the Strip.

My proposal for subway stops:

* McCarran International Airport

* Excalibur/NY-NY/MGM/Tropicana

* Bellagio/Caesars/Barbary Coast/Bally's

* Circus Circus/Riviera

* Stratosphere/Olympic Garden

* Fremont Street/Downtown

* Cashman Field

I open the floor to comments.
