Plans remain on track to transform the Las Vegas Monorail into an elevated roadway for the Boring Co.’s Vegas Loop. But don’t expect a Vegas version of the PeopleMover anytime soon.
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority president and CEO Steve Hill said Tuesday that the conversion will eventually happen — but since the Monorail is not losing money, there is no rush to make the change.
Hill said there are a couple of things that would cause the monorail to be discontinued.
“It’s run with a fairly old system, but mostly it’s trains,” Hill said. “If we had to replace those trains, it’s a $350 million-plus commitment to do that… and that’s not going to happen.”
