First U.S. MagLev train considered for Las Vegas to Disneyland

From one playground to another.
A MagLev train (pictured above, an operating train in Shanghai) is being considered to transport passengers from Las Vegas to Disneyland at a speedy 300 miles per hour, less than two hours.
We say "being considered" because every time a train is brought up from our fine neon city to Los Angeles, plans are scrapped because of looming costs.
This time, though, a magnetically levitating train would be the first in the country, traveling quietly at fast speeds of up to 361 miles per hour.
Congress would be behind funding, which actually strikes us more as hurting the project because of the uproar that would occur if $12 billion (that's right, billion) in funds were allocated to transportation toward the purpose of gambling.
But we'll keep our fingers crossed.
