Verdict

Vegas Loop handles approximately 15,000 passengers per day. The cost-efficiency claim lacks rigorous comparison.

Full Analysis

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reports the Vegas Loop system handles approximately 12,000-18,000 passengers per day during peak convention periods. The 50,000 figure appears to reference projected capacity after planned expansions, not current throughput. The 'faster than any subway per dollar invested' claim is not supported by any published cost-benefit analysis.
