Its still cheaper to fly to Vegas than drive at today's gas prices isn't it? Besides, who would get the benefits of this highway? Are Nevada tourists making a big call to visit Phoenix? It sounds like the Nevada gaming industry would win and the Arizona gaming revenues would lose. And let's not even start thinking about the funding the Mexican toll road idea again. Someone must be waving a lot of money in the politicians faces again.

Great idea. It would cut a good bit of time off the drive.

Interstate 11 should be build in a way so it can also accommodate space for highspeed rail for the future or don't get funding..

iamjoe makes a great point. Our local freeways should have been built with monorail capability included.

Great idea, and most of it's already done.

It should have been part of the original freeways under Eisenhower.
As it is now, I don't care, I'll be dead before they can build it.
