Las Vegas Monorail welcomed 40 Millionth Rider
The Las Vegas Monorail Company celebrated the Monorail’s 40 millionth rider on Saturday, December 19th, marking an important milestone for the Las Vegas Strip transportation system. The official 40 millionth rider was Michael Reinhardt, who was greeted by Monorail officials at the Bally’s/Paris Las Vegas Station
Reinhardt and his wife were honored with an over sized commemorative Monorail ticket and a Las Vegas gift basket containing Las Vegas Monorail tickets, a dining certificate for the Hard Rock Café, tickets to Madame Tussaud’s Las Vegas, a complimentary airplane/helicopter tour for two to the Grand Canyon, tickets for two to Legends in Concert at Harrah’s Las Vegas and Donny & Marie Osmond at the Flamingo Las Vegas, and a variety of souvenirs provided by the Las Convention and Visitors Authority and other Monorail partners.
Only in 2008, the Monorail helped reducing greenhouse emissions by more than 61 tons and eliminated an estimated 3.4 million vehicle miles that would have otherwise congested Las Vegas roadways. In addition, during large conventions like CES, SEMA, NAB, and World of Concrete, the Monorail offers transport to more than 70,000 people into and out of the Las Vegas Convention Center over the course of each event.
“This is a moment worthy of recognition. Forty million riders on just 3.9 miles of system is significant.  In fact, the Las Vegas Monorail carries more passengers per mile than any other rail system in the U.S. We’re proud to contribute to Resort Corridor mobility and are pleased that so many visitors continue to choose the Las Vegas Monorail as their transportation option.†said Ingrid Reisman, vice-president of corporate communications for the Las Vegas Monorail Company.
