The Clark County Commission's recent decision to draft a feasibility study on the extension of the Las Vegas Monorail to McCarran International Airport is one more example of how people are thinking about what can be done to improve the Las Vegas visitor experience.

Commissioners approved a study about extending the 4-mile, $650 million monorail system from its southern terminus at the MGM Grand to the airport, which is on a pace to serve more than 44 million passengers in 2005.

Currently, the monorail operates along the east side of several Las Vegas Strip resorts. The train stops at stations at the MGM Grand, Paris-Las Vegas and Bally's, the Flamingo, the Imperial Palace and Harrah's, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Las Vegas Hilton and the Sahara.
