Las Vegas X Train project on hold

It’s a great concept but, for now, the Las Vegas X Train project is on hold.

And in typical Vegas style, those with cash could purchase upgrades including renting private cars for bachelor parties and other private events.

As soon as guests stepped off the train, there would be cabs, shuttles and even private limos waiting to whisk visitors off to their hotels.

All for only $99 each way for the nearly 6 hour trip.

But it’s not going to happen. At least not for a while. And certainly not by their targeted date of New Year’s Eve.

Las Vegas Railway Express recently announced that the X Train has terminated it’s agreement with Union Pacific and announced they are moving forward with an alternate financing plan.

President and CEO Michael Barron insists that the project is not dead and claims that the alternative financing would allow them to continue to move forward with their plans and the company remains in operation.
