    Will there be a stop at the second observation wheel, too?

    I've ridden it a couple times from MGM to SLS on recent trips (while staying at Aria... not ideal, but sometimes it's not worth the cab fare), and before that I took it once or twice from MGM for reasons I can't remember. The problem is that it's great if you're going from one resort with a monorail stop to another resort with a monorail stop, but other than that it's of questionable utility, especially if you're on the west side of the Strip.

    I believe that was his point.

    They started one down past MB but never got very far. So the monorail extension that may never happen could stop at the wheel that may never happen.

    Now I'm really confused.

    To tell you the truth, I had totally forgotten about SLS, home to the ugliest sculpture in the world.

    That's one too many wheels.

    Probably a blessing in disguise. Doesn't seem like the High Roller is seeing the attendance that they hoped. The location for the High Roller is obvious much better than the SkyVue too.

    For the high roller, though, they made that alley leading up to it full of bars and restaurants.

    It was a good plan. I think they had a hard time filling in some of the spots/had a bit of turnover, but it seems like they have some new places coming soon like In-N-Out and another Gordon Ramsay restaurant.
