It's so frustrating that transportation infrastructure in Las Vegas must wait until a private company deems it viable... The city should have been investing in these solutions decades ago.

I grew up in LV and have since moved to SLC. The light-rail system here is great and there's really no reason Las Vegas couldn't implement a similar system. Given the complete lack of transit infrastructure, downtown probably does make more sense for initial light-rail investment. However, I think light-rail on roads like Charleston is beyond necessary just for the sake of bringing increased density and investment. The amount of high-density, mixed-use projects around light-rail stations in Salt Lake are exploding (thanks to really aggressive and smart planning by UTA) and I wish Las Vegas had plans to do something similar.
