CY, BAD, Meg and other SocCal's. a train may be running from here to Fulerton in 2014

Posted by peglegpete (aka peglegpete) Dec 25 '12, 13:50

from Anthony Curtis' Vegas website today.

December 25, 2012 12:17 Party Train: A "party train" that would run between Las Vegas and Fullerton, California may be operating by the first quarter of 2014. Unlike several high-speed trains that have been proposed, this one would travel at normal speeds and take five and a half hours to make the journey. However, passengers will have access to bars and restaurants on the train, giving them the opportunity to start their Vegas party during the trip. Tickets are expected to cost $100 each way, with food and drink programs included in the price.

Responses:

$100 seems a little steep no? It is good that food and drinks are included however. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 14:07 9
- you pay close to that with round trip gas in the car -- nm - peglegpete Dec 25, 14:32 2
  - and accidents on the 15 which could cause 3-4 hour delays, happen -- nm - peglegpete Dec 25, 14:34 1
    - and lets not forget that over the life and expense of a car, it costs about 70-80 cents a mile to drive -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 25, 14:40
- Yeah, I guess it could be fun if a crowd of you were going, but I think I'd rather drive there in less time for half the cost. -- nm - Mistletoe Meg Dec 25, 14:13 3
  - I think especially if a crowd is going then it would be waaaay cheaper to just take the car. Boring yes, but way cheaper overall. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 25, 14:17 2
    - I think the target audience is the same as those who rent those party vans - JD Dec 25, 14:23 1
      - Er, let someone else drive - JD Dec 25, 14:25
- I would imagine a lunch and beer on a train would cost 20-30 ish...maybe the casinos would subsidize the drink 'program' on the way there, wonder what - zeitgeist Dec 25, 14:12 1
  - "Tickets are expected to cost $100 each way" RIF :) -- nm - Mistletoe Meg Dec 25, 14:14
