        [Three stations] however, were open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., a completely reasonable schedule given most Vegas tourists are tucked back in their beds by 8:30 p.m.

        🤣

      Well, that thing is a joke.

      I read a similar article some time ago, but mostly it was the pictures/video - apparently it hasn’t changed one bit since years ago - it looks like a temporary redecoration of some industrial building. For a party.

      Why Las Vegas agreed to this instead of just scrapping the whole project. - ah well, I can imagine why, but it’s still unbelievable.

      I guess this is just one in a long exhibition of expensive & shiny but utterly useless oddities in Vegas?

        Hey, at least Las Vegas was willing to throw itself on the pyre before a “real” city got conned into building their own loop system. (Yes I know other cities are looking into building loops themselves, but they’re all tourist traps like Orlando and New Orleans, not actual metropolises.)
