Las Vegas Monorail Almost Taken Out By Vegas Loop: Report
When the Vegas Loop was announced, it was supposed to be a big leap forward in public transportation around the Las Vegas tourist areas. It was also the precursor to a long-awaited death knell for the long disappointing Las Vegas Monorail.
Well, death for the monorail almost came early and from below. A new report from Fortune claims that Clark County cited The Boring Company, the Elon Musk-owned tunnel digging entity behind the Vegas Loop, for exposing pillars that hold up the monorail track. In one instance, it stopped service on the Las Vegas Monorail over two days.
Las Vegas Monorail Passengers Were At Risk
It was a serious situation according to a former The Boring Company employee who spoke to the publication, saying anyone on the monorail during the incident was put at risk. Thankfully, few do.
There have been many claims of a lack of care in and around creation of the Vegas Loop. Nevada OSHA has cited the project for safety violations in the past, resulting in pretty significant fines.
Vegas Loop Is Expanding In Ways The Las Vegas Monorail Wishes
When the Las Vegas Monorail was announced, there were some lofty future “phases” that were bandied about. An extension to the airport and towards Downtown Las Vegas being among them. But not much came to fruition. There is even a possibility of a stop at the Sphere, but there have been no concrete plans.
Meanwhile the proposed Vegas Loop system gets bigger and bigger, spreading its tentacles as far north as Downtown Las Vegas, as far south as the planned NBA-ready arena at Las Vegas Boulevard and Blue Diamond, and also reaching to Harry Reid International Airport and even Spring Mountain Road towards Chinatown.
Obviously these are all plans and hopes and dreams. But one thing is for sure. If it comes even close to accomplishing the route they plan, the Vegas Loop shutting down the Las Vegas Monorail from below was foreshadowing more than anything.
Las Vegas Strip Clubs: 6 Of The Worst Mistakes Customers Make
Picking Girls With Glitter
A young blonde woman is dancing in a glittery dress. We see a lot of girls covered in glitter in Vegas strip clubs. Best not to get a lap dance from those gals.
Don’t pick girls with glitter, aka “Divorce Dust.” I mean it’s bad enough you’re going to come home smelling like cotton candy in an ashtray, but avoiding glitter is just elementary. If you know how a lap dance works, then you should know not to ever pick a chick glowing in the D dust. Because the happiest part of your pants is going to be lit up like the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. The entire city within a 60-mile radius is going to know what you were “up” to. And then, at your after party meal at Denny’s, the waitresses is going to be laughing at you as they drop off your sad eggs because that’s all you can afford after maxing out your credit card at the Boom Boom Room.
Touching The Carpet
Nasty carpets are everywhere in Las Vegas strip clubs. Everything, and I mean everything, has been spilled on those bad boys. The lights are low so it’s hard to tell. Just trust us.
Don’t touch the carpet. Look, it’s bad enough you’re on a couch that is basically Disneyland for biohazard materials. But the floors are worse. Let me tell you a secret: you know those drinks you buy for the dancers? Yeah… the chicks are dumping them on that nasty floor. So, all that money you’re blowing is ending up on some 1979 shag carpet (or conveniently placed potted plant nearby). So why even get near carpet that could be tested for STD’s and alcoholism at the same time?
Trying To Move The Party
Yes, you can ask her to move the party elsewhere. And yes, she might go with you. But you might want to reconsider that.
Don’t try and get the party moved elsewhere. Didn’t you watch Hustler or listen to Cardi B? Ok, never mind Cardi B, but the Movie “Hustler”, starring Jennifer Lopez, was based on a true story. You’re going to get ruffled, robbed and end up in a bathtub full of ice because they just sold your kidney on black market. Ok, I’m being over dramatic. That wasn’t in the movie. But if you bring the party outside the club, you’re going to end up losing more than a kidney. You’re going to end up on a shopping spree buying them a new wardrobe and killing your credit line.
Ordering The Shrimp
This bucket of shrimp might look tasty. But when you’re at any of our Vegas strip clubs, keep in mind we don’t have a lot of shrimp nearby, and you’re not eating at a 4-star restaurant.
Don’t order shrimp cocktail at a strip club. I mean I hate to be Captain Obvious here, but strip clubs are putting their focus on them dancing and you drinking. They’re not exactly looking for the highest-quality seafood to feed your face. And throwing up your own brand of shrimp and liquor cocktail isn’t a pretty sight in the Champagne Room.
And while we are on the subject, just don’t order food at all. Usually there’s some syphilitic bruiser playing Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen.
Inviting Her Friends To Come To The Party
If you are lucky enough to make it into the champagne room, just leave well enough alone. Trust us on this one. Your wallet will thank you.
When you’ve got a dancer with you, don’t invite their “friends”, aka the other girls in the club, into the Champagne Room. This is one of the costliest mistakes you can make. Before you know it, 12 girls are all up on the bump and grind, champagne is everywhere. And next thing you know, you’ve made everyone’s mortgage payment. Trust me, they have a nicer house than you do.
Taking Out The Black Card
Of all the mistakes you can make in our Vegas strip clubs, this is the worst. Keep that black card in your wallet. Better yet, leave it at home.
And the number one mistake to avoid. Whipping out the ol’ Black card. This is by far the costliest blunder you can make. Because it puts all the other mistakes in play. Sure, you thought you were going to buy a boat this week. But darling, it sunk. At least that’s what you’re going to tell your wife.
