Plans To Extend Monorail To Mandalay Bay Submitted

The Las Vegas Monorail Company has submitted construction permits for its planned one-mile extension from the  MGM Grand to  Mandalay Bay. 

Clark County commissioners have already approved the roughly $23-million extension project and will now need to approve the permits before construction can get underway.

The added stop is expected to boost ridership by connecting the 3.9-mile route to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center while bringing riders within walking distance of the Raiders stadium, which is currently under construction.
