I know I'm in the minority.....but......The tracks are in place, the EIR is complete, and almost everything is in place to run an Amtrak train LAX-LAS. I know they need the equipment and crew to run it, as well as some other minor things, but in looking at the big picture, I still don't understand why this train isn't running NOW. Forget the stupid high speed stuff, Maglev, and whatever other stuff people want to dream about. I just don't understand why a daily train isn't running now, and hasn't been running for years. With the economy down, Vegas is still packed with people. I don't care what the news says---I'm there all the time (every 3 to 4 weeks for the last 3 1/2 years), and everything is still VERY crowded. Shows sold out every day, long lines at buffet restaurants, jam packed casinos and tables....I would think the train would be a big hit, especially for the weekend LA crowd that sits in that miserable traffic on the 15 every Friday and Sunday.
