Back to EpisodesVegas Hands Over the Monorail to Elon Musk. Plus, the Reality of Rent Prices and Red Rock Gets More Accessible
Description
A big shakeup is coming to the Strip as plans emerge to transform the struggling Las Vegas Monorail into part of Elon Musk’s Loop system. Host Jesse Merrick is joined by Spotlight Poetry founder Elle Hope and creative producer Jacob Solis to ask a simple question: why turn a train into a road? They also dig into why falling rent prices aren’t easing the burden for many residents and whether walking trails are reaching the neighborhoods that need them most. Plus, a members-only bonus segment imagines the themed resorts Vegas is still missing.
