Wow.. Lots of doom and gloom in this article. It's the stuff that we cannot foresee that will either keep Vegas stagnant or let it recover. I like to think that we have people in this town with the ideas to make this recovery happen in a big way.

There were so-called experts years ago that would say Las Vegas would remain a small gambling town.

Senator Reid is scratching Sig Rogich's back so that he can get his own back scratched even better come his next time up for election.

Senator Reid sold out. Rail to Victorville?!! That sounds so OLD. We have the opportunity to lead the way for maglev, maybe even using some solar power. Let's connect two major tourism powerhouses, Disneyland and Vegas! They may have old Sid and Harry, but we've got Walt and Mickey!

DesertXpress says they don't want to tap any of the proposed stimulus funds but instead want "loans." Do they REALLY intend to pay back the loans? They may come back saying they can't turn a profit and can't pay anymore of the loan. What if Sig Rogich pays himself as much as he can until the route has to get taken over by the government because they supposedly can't turn a profit?! "Experts say there are virtually no privately run rail lines in operation anywhere in the world because they cannot be built without public money, and cannot turn a profit."

GO MAGLEV! Forget Victorville..."I'm going to Disneyland!" The old high-powered politicians want to go 150mph. The PEOPLE want to go 310mph.

There's not problem with calling UNR, Nevada. We just think it should really be called by the name that best represents the university. You should be referred to as "Reno." There are other names but you probably wouldn't be able to publish those.

Whatever Homer! Who cares about what you think anyways. You sound bitter. You must be from Reno and probably didn't even go to college in the first place. (You obviously didn't. Otherwise you'd know that "no body" is one word and not two!)

GO REBELS!!! BEAT RENO!!!

You make a VERY good point SMB!

Okay, okay. Williamtomany1 and Wolf Pack fans, we're not going to call you UNR or Nevada-Reno. Heck, we won't even call you "The Team Up North." We're just going to call you... RENO!

Go Rebels! Beat RENO!
