I'm sure they're getting a good laugh at us, with our prehistoric ways!

I sincerely hope and pray they build this project, and scrap any plans to extend the monorail, or build a light rail line down the Strip, as this city deserves the embarrassment!
Autonomous vehicles will make trains obsolete. Roads are the future.

I had the misfortune of having to go there a couple weeks a year on business. Not to Disney. I wouldn't wish that place on anyone..

Seriously, anyone envious of Orlando is higher than a kite.
Just about every person I pick up who is here on business unanimously can't stand going to Orlando on biz. Everything there is VERY spread out and most Biz people end up renting cars anyways.
Last I checked, people don't sleep at convention centers... so it's cute to set up a set route... but when people have to go other places... well... they fall back on the other systems that have already been in place.
