It was just a teeny, tiny brief at the tail end of an inside page, but we were, of course, alerted to the story by one of our many spies: "Monorail shut down by ‘computer glich’" read the headline.
It seems the monorail went down for more than two hours late Sunday morning and into Sunday afternoon. Hey, weren’t there people in Las Vegas that day for New Year’s? That’s right, there were!
What happened? Let’s just quote the brief: Monorail spokeswoman Ingrid Reisman "…said the shutdown of the monorail was a ‘computer glich,’ but she had no more specific information." We’re sure she didn’t.
And this is the system that they want to extend to the airport, to relieve traffic along the Strip and other surface streets? This is the system for which they want to sell hundreds of millions in private bonds? Upon which they want future Las Vegas visitors to rely in order to catch their planes?
Good luck.
