Re:
Surely what qualifies him to be president is that he is a former deputy general manager, and not that he is African-American. Why is his race relevant here? It's something you'd put in the article on him, but I think it should be left out here. Ground Zero | t 21:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
He is the only African-American leader of a monorail system, and hence that is noteworthy - also, in Las Vegas, there is a disproportionately low percentage of African-Americans in positions of power, but luckily this is (albeit, unfortunately slowly) changing. -- Frank Lofaro Jr. 21:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
1958? Is that the correct date?-- Rotten 16:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Do we want to add the logo to this page for identification purposes? I have created a high quality SVG if needed. -- Tvwade ( talk) 19:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to include some of the proposed stations such as the Thomas & Mack and the McCarren Airport? Locopingvin ( talk) 15:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I have restored the previous Extensions section culled [1] by User:lvmonorail, which completely dropped the mention of Phase 2 (a dropped proposal to go towards the centre of Las Vegas) and renamed Phase 3 (to the airport) to Phase 2. This section was marked as requiring updates, and this was an update, but in a way that removed the previous history of attempts at extension and which adjusted the naming scheme away from previously located references. Some of the updates were useful, some (such as the details of the advertising contract termination) appear to be sanitising. Could other edits please review these two edits and check that nothing useful has been lost (either before, or after).
Note that I screwed up the partial revert the first time and rollbacked myself. — Sladen ( talk) 03:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
"After many delays, the finished Las Vegas Monorail opened to the public on July 15, 2004"
Considering that the monorail is so far a financial disaster for Las Vegas, can't someone do the newspaper research that will tell us about the planning of this fiasco?
How much debt did the first proposal involve?
How did a FOUR MILE light rail system create $700 million in debt?
If I'm not mistaken, all investment in the system, aside from a few percent held by the most privileged investors, was wiped out by the bankruptcy that lasted from January 2010 to May 2012. The how & the why of that seem particularly relevant.
Without such details this is a terrible, terrible article. Bustter ( talk) 03:58, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

There are 8 separate articles for the individual stations of the monorail. I would propose to merge all of these articles to here. They consist almost entirely of information that violates " Wikipedia is not a travel guide": lists of nearby hotels and attractions, and instructions to get to the stations. What little encyclopedic information is in these articles could easily be presented in a table in this article. I don't think the individual stations meet WP:GNG - there are very few substantial reliable sources that discuss any one of the stations as a distinct topic. And the WP:STATION notability essay supports this idea, for example, "Where only basic information about related stations exist, considering presenting it as a table within a relevant article, rather than creating articles for each station."

Alterations to all station articles have occured, with these eight edits in <2 minutes:
These eight have the duplicated edit summay "merged to
Las Vegas Monorail", and replace the conents with "#REDIRECT [[Las Vegas Monorail]]
Toohool, is there a plan for the merging to occur? —

I added back in the McCarran Field name to the airport under the Phase 2 discussion. In 2010 when the announcement was made, that was the airport's name. It was only just renamed in November 2021 so it's more correct to use the original name and then add "now Harry Reid International Airport" as I have done here. 23skidoo ( talk) 22:15, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
