Las Vegas is not all about high-speed rail as officials look at local light-rail option

The city of Las Vegas is looking at how transit could better serve Charleston Boulevard.
Las Vegas is connected to one of the hottest rail topics over the past year, a high-speed line connecting the gambler’s paradise with Los Angeles, but the city knows it also needs to take care of its own.
Charleston Boulevard could receive a massive transit system if everything falls into place. Axios Nevada LLC and the city of Las Vegas have reached an exclusive agreement on the construction of a high-capacity transit system that could cost as much as $3 billion. The line would be privately owned and operated.
Las Vegas City Council voted last week to explore the idea of a multibillion-dollar, 19-mile mass-transit system that a private company wants to develop for Charleston Boulevard.
During its Wednesday meeting, the council entered the city into an exclusive negotiating agreement with Axios Nevada, a company that represents investors interested in constructing and operating the system.
The company now has two years to figure out whether light rail or other high-capacity system makes sense, and how it would be built and paid for and run at a profit without the use of tax dollars.
Longtime Nevada transportation figure Tom Skancke, a principal with Axios Nevada, told State of Nevada a transit line is a natural fit for the east-west thoroughfare.
