🚄 High-speed rail prices revealed

💸 The Inside Track on Train Tickets

Brightline West projects a one-way, standard-class ticket on its high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga to be $119 in 2031 — the first stabilized year of service following a two-year ramp-up period. (Whatever that means.) An upgraded premium cabin ticket will be $133. The figures were revealed in paperwork for a $2.5 billion bond offering to help pay for this thing. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

🎪 Circus Circus for Sale

When not hanging out at presidential inaugurations, casino mogul Phil Ruffin is actively trying to sell Circus Circus, claiming the resort and its 102 acres of land are worth $5 billion. For reference, he bought it for less than a quarter of that in 2019. [Forbes]

• Locals seem to share the same thought: Keep the theme, but give the property a dramatic renovation. [KTNV]
• No matter what, we still love the history and charm of Circus Circus. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
