LAS VEGAS (April 21, 2008) � In just 15 minutes, the Las Vegas Monorail transports visitors to all the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip. By connecting tourists to the city�s world-class amenities and the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Monorail offers riders a clean, convenient and climate-controlled option for traveling within the city.

Over the past four years, the Las Vegas Monorail has proven to be a popular conduit between the city�s 44 million annual visitors and the many entertainment outlets they visit while in town. Las Vegas continues to be one of the world�s favorite playgrounds, offering the best hotels, restaurants, attractions, tours, entertainment, shopping and now, modern transportation.

The Las Vegas Monorail Company is in the planning stages of a proposed expansion to McCarran International Airport, which would help deliver Las Vegas visitors to their business and vacation destinations along the Strip.

�We are very pleased to offer Las Vegas visitors a transportation experience unlike any other,� said Ingrid Reisman, vice president of corporate communications for the Las Vegas Monorail Company. �With ever-increasing visitor volume, the Monorail will become even more vital as a fast, convenient and reliable transportation option along the Las Vegas Strip.�

Monorail �Best Bet� for Travel on the Strip Leisure and business travelers can use the Monorail to navigate the Strip for dining and entertainment venues, in turn avoiding traffic-congested roadways, long lines and the need to rent a vehicle. With trains departing every few minutes, riders can rest assured they�ll arrive at their destination promptly and in comfort.

Monorail tickets can be purchased online in advance at www.lvmonorail.com. In addition, group discounts and commissionable rates are available. Travel planners and buyers can now provide added value by including Monorail tickets in their Las Vegas offerings.

Las Vegas Monorail on the Eco-Friendly Fast Track The Monorail is also a �green� transportation system, and eco-minded Vegas visitors are encouraged to ride the electric, zero-emissions transportation system as an alternative to traditional automobile and mass transit.
