Vegas is a yearly trip for me because of a convention in December, which allows me to enjoy a Cirque show or two, and some great food and drink while there. Otherwise, I don't think I would make a trip to the city just for funsies. Last December when I went, I was shocked to see that rooms at the Stratosphere were only $11 a night! That is crazy.

That's still too much. 😆 But there are a lot of great hotels that used to be cheaper, especially before the Sphere opened. Prices vary wildly now. I remember the Venetian routinely being $150 at most, and those were really nice rooms. You can still get that price, but only if there's not a concert or conference nearby.

MGM signature is a good choice too, tucked back behind the pool you have a non smoking hotel with no casino on the first floor. Every room is a King Jr suite and you have an exclusive pool and hot tub (but can still go to the main MGM complex.)

I imagine the steel bits, maybe even the train, will be fine. I mean, running roller coasters all over the place are older than that. The motors, I'm not sure, but also because it's my understanding that the capability of newer equipment is far more robust and efficient. I'd love to see this thing end up anywhere. I know it's short, but I enjoyed that for what it was.

I liked it too. The best coaster in the Vegas area at the time (not that there was an enormous amount of competition for that....)
I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.
I'm vaguely entertained that they're advertising it as being capable of 1600 per hour. I reckon that leaves them about fifteen seconds to unload, load, and dispatch.

Speed would look pretty wacky on a flat, open site. It had some subtle curves around the building, a trench/tunnel and some support structure to take it over the road.
I can't imagine there is going to be a ton of interest, it presumably costs something to store it where it is (I've no idea where the train is, I don't think it's with the track) - so if someone is interested it, I can't imagine they're going to have to pay a lot for it.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
The flume at Buffalo Bills has apparently been spotted testing, with a new op panel.
