The monorail shut down on March 18 and has yet to reopen. Transit systems worldwide have seen ridership drop and face increased costs to clean and sanitize their trains and buses.But Vegas visitors should still have a chance to ride the monorail on future trips.The bankruptcy filing is part of the monorail's agreement to sell itself to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, which made a bid for up to $24.3 million for the company.
US monorails are generally more of a novelty than a serious and integral part of city transportation systems.Las Vegas's 3.9-mile system originally opened in 2004. It carries five million riders a year, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.Aside from Disney World resorts, the only American monorails are in Las Vegas and Seattle, according to Keith Walls, vice president of the Monorail Society, an organization that promotes awareness of monorails.

Another government blunder. The simpsons called it correctly years ago
The services offered in Las Vegas are about to get expensive. Sin city heading for reset ?
Triste!!!
I tried to use this. By the time you walked to the rear of the hotels to board the monorail and then back through the rear of another hotel, you could have been there more quickly just walking out onto the street!
