It would of course depend on what ticket pricing ended up being, but I'd most assuredly put a train like that high on my list of options for getting to Vegas, the few times I do actually make it there. With it starting in Anaheim, we could walk to the Orange station, ride for 1 stop and make it to Vegas without ever getting in a car. That would be quite nice.
I've long suspected that the biggest hurdle to the plan has been cities like Victorville, Barstow, and Baker. Any route would surely need to pass through one or all of those cities. And all of them, I imagine, depend pretty heavily on the auto traffic along the 15 heading in and out of Vegas. So I wouldn't suppose they've been particularly helpful in the area of granting the rights to lay tracks.
