Posted on: Signs are dim, but is Vegas’ future?

Las Vegas hasn't seen the worst yet. Despite the downturn, a great ciy has been devestaged by the small minds of a few powerful but senseless men. The monorail was an ill conceived joke. You don't put it though the backyards of the Casinos past tatoo parlors and the trash of Las Vegas, then expect the public to abandon their cars, pay $10.00 and jump on board. It will be torn down as it should. Nor do you empty a major highway into a Casio owner's parking lot and not create havac with the rest of the traffic. The future of Las Vegas rests with the success of projects like City Center and the continued success of the convention business. Yet, the infrastructure to support these massive projects does not exist. It takes a Robert Moses to save Las Vegas. People need to have a public transit system that works. Bus, taxis, trains cars and public parking need to be coornidated. It is s wonderful that that the high end rollers have bought out the penthouses and million dollar condos, but will they be here to spend the money when Las Vegas needs them? And why should people move to Las Vegas if they can't walk the screwed up sidewalks on the Strip or travel anywhere in a car without being tied up in traffic? The small minds win, Las Vegas loses.
