[edit] Curtis Myles

Re:

"Curtis Myles, an African-American and a former deputy general manager of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada...."

Surely what qualifies him to be president is that he is a former deputy general manager, and not that he is African-American. Why is his race relevant here? It's something you'd put in the article on him, but I think it should be left out here. Ground Zero | t 21:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing. Race is not generally encylopedic. Vegaswikian 22:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

He is the only African-American leader of a monorail system, and hence that is noteworthy - also, in Las Vegas, there is a disproportionately low percentage of African-Americans in positions of power, but luckily this is (albeit, unfortunately slowly) changing. --Frank Lofaro Jr. 21:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Then he should have an article if his accomplishments are notable. Vegaswikian 23:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaugeration

1958? Is that the correct date?--Rotten 16:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ticket prices

Something is wrong, $8 for 24 hour pass, $40 for a 3 day pass?24.158.102.77 18:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The regular price for the 1-day pass is $15. It seems they didn't bother to discount the 3-day pass. --Traal 15:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Why did someone remove the prices? That seems like a bad idea as people (including myself) come to this page for that information. Poolboy8 21:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo?

Do we want to add the logo to this page for identification purposes? I have created a high quality SVG if needed. --Tvwade (talk) 19:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but the template should be modified to place the logo at the top of the infobox. This is done for other infoboxes as you know, like the one for casinos. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:09, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Stations

Would it be appropriate to include some of the proposed stations such as the Thomas & Mack and the McCarren Airport? Locopingvin (talk) 15:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
