The Las Vegas Monorail Company celebrated the Monorail’s 40 millionth rider on Saturday, December 19th,  marking an important milestone for the Las Vegas Strip transportation system. The official 40 millionth rider was Michael Reinhardt, who was greeted by Monorail officials at the Bally’s/Paris Las Vegas Station

Reinhardt and his wife were honored with an over sized commemorative Monorail ticket and a Las Vegas gift basket containing Las Vegas Monorail tickets, a dining certificate for the Hard Rock Café, tickets to Madame Tussaud’s Las Vegas, a complimentary airplane/helicopter tour for two to the Grand Canyon, tickets for two to Legends in Concert at Harrah’s Las Vegas and Donny & Marie Osmond at the Flamingo Las Vegas, and a variety of souvenirs provided by the Las Convention and Visitors Authority and other Monorail partners.

Only in 2008, the Monorail helped reducing greenhouse emissions by more than 61 tons and eliminated an estimated 3.4 million vehicle miles that would have otherwise congested Las Vegas roadways.  In addition, during large conventions like CES, SEMA, NAB, and World of Concrete, the Monorail offers transport to more than 70,000 people into and out of the Las Vegas Convention Center over the course of each event.

“This is a moment worthy of recognition. Forty million riders on just 3.9 miles of system is significant.   In fact, the Las Vegas Monorail carries more passengers per mile than any other rail system in the U.S. We’re proud to contribute to Resort Corridor mobility and are pleased that so many visitors continue to choose the Las Vegas Monorail as their transportation option.” said Ingrid Reisman, vice-president of corporate communications for the Las Vegas Monorail Company.

The irresistible force meets the immovable object.

No, it’s not Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant all over again but the 2010 Rose Bowl. Oregon’s irresistible running game, averaging 236 yards per contest, takes on Ohio State’s immovable defense that has only given up a measly 83.7 yards to the opposing team.

Well, something’s got to give and this Rose Bowl game between the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes could very well decide which is really important in winning championships, defense or offense?

The Ohio State Buckeyes have always been the better team every single time they went up against Oregon. The Buckeyes have been so dominant that they haven’t been defeated by any Oregon Ducks team for seven straight contests.

Yes, Ohio State is 7-0 all-time against Oregon, which makes betting on the Ducks at the Rose Bowl a little bit harder to fathom.

Of course, if you’re a Ducks fan, you’d be happy to know that these two teams haven’t played each other since 1987 and a lot of improvements have been made by the Ducks since then. Oregon now has a formidable running game that ranks sixth overall in the nation and as good as that offense has been, their defense isn’t so bad either.

Oregon has only surrendered 329 yards per game, which ranks…
