Plans Call For Virgin Train Station Along Las Vegas Blvd.

Clark County officials are considering the building plans for the Virgin Train station along Las Vegas Boulevard.

The project will provide a high-speed rail link between Las Vegas and Southern California, including a proposed station off Las Vegas Boulevard between El Dorado Lane and Robindale Road. The site would span some 273,000 square feet and consist of a main terminal and several parking garages.

Plans are also being made for retail and office space. From the Las Vegas station, riders would travel 170 miles to a planned Victor Valley station, near Victorville, California.

Construction on the $4.8 billion high-speed rail link is scheduled to begin later this year.
