Wow! Everyone gets a great deal to buy TAX FREE municipal bonds.

What could possibly go wrong?

A college frat brother worked in Vegas during the 70s, said they don’t pay for all those lights by giving away money.

This train is needed because there is currently no way to get between Los Angeles and Las Vegas quickly.

Oh wait—are we in 1924?

Lol.

For 2.5 Billion, you can just pay for the passengers to stay in Vegas.

For a really long time.

Last visit to Vegas was in 1989. Saw Jay Leno show before he became famous. But had to stand in line at noon to buy tickets. Then another line at show time to get a table. Leno was very good, but I don’t like lines. And I don’t gamble in casinos. Wall Street is enough gamble LOL.

“MIGHT” ALSO NEVER BE OPERATIONAL

PARK your car in Victorville in unsecured parking lot.....

Ride train to Vegas

Need taxi to get around Vegas==more $$$$

Reverse route:

Find your car has no wheels/tires/ & other parts easily accessed.

YOU ARE STRANDED IN VICTORVILLE !!!!

COST OF 275 mile trip-—MUCH MORE THAN YOU BUDGETED.

AIN’T “HI SPEED RAIL” GREAT????

$12,000,000,000 12 Billion

DIVIDED by 275 miles (the distance I drove from the Strip to Burbank—— EQUALS==

$4,363,636.35 per mile

OVER $ MILLION per mile.

They already have a dead project in the San Jouquin Valley-—WHY NOT ADD ANOTHER BOONDOGGLE???

You don’t wait in lines anymore and they rarely have tables. It’s theater style seating and you buy tickets online, or gamble so much they give you “free” tickets.
