What is the point? There is nothing in Las Vegas except gambling and prostitutes. Hardly enough to justify the cost.
... There are planes and cars in enormous numbers that go from there to LA... It doesn't matter how you judge their choices, it matters because it dramatically cuts car and plane usage and replaces it with far more efficient transportation.
LA to Vegas is the busiest flight corridor in the US.
Today, NFL, NHL, and WNBA. In a few years, MLB, NBA, and MLS teams. Plus sports betting and legal cannabis.
The high-speed rail makes it easier to shuttle a massive population from SoCal over cheaply.
Easier than bussing all those grannies I suppose.
Literally true.
If they pays, they stays.
Don't forget MLS!
Unsure if you've heard, but a lot of people are willing to travel for gambling and prostitutes
