Las Vegas Monorail Looks at Expanding to McCarran Airport
The Las Vegas Monorail may be expanding despite ridership numbers lower than expected. The Clark County Commission is allowing the monorail to do a feasibility study to determine if and how the monorail should be extended to McCarran Airport.
Currently, the monorail has about 30,000 riders each day. But officials hope a McCarran expansion would dramatically increase that number.
Las Vegas Monorail CEO Curtis Myles said, "The airport today brings in 56,000 people, about 80-percent are destined for locations between Russell Road and Sahara Boulevard, which is where our current system operates."
Officials say bond sales would likely fund the expansion. And the timing of the proposed expansion would coincide with the estimated completion of terminal three at McCarran International Airport.
