while the las vegas area does not have any passenger rail service, proposals to revive passenger trains to las vegas have included the xpresswest high-speed train from victorville, california; the california–nevada interstate maglev, which would extend to anaheim, california, with its first segment being to primm, nevada. the las vegas railway express; and the z-train, which would travel six days a week between los angeles union station and a new z-train station adjacent to the strip; and the desert lightning to los angeles and phoenix.

originally, the service was planned to operate five days a week between downtown los angeles and las vegas, making a daily round trip thursday through monday, with an increase to forty trips weekly planned for five years after the start of operations. the x train will start in los angeles and use existing railroad tracks with “the possibility of utilizing the [san bernardino santa fe] depot as an origination point for operations,” according to presentation documents with the san bernardino county transportation authority. initially, the train will run as a conventional service along union pacific and bnsf-owned lines, hiring amtrak to haul their private rail cars, while construction takes place to convert sections of the route to high-speed. the increase in speed will reduce the trip from 4.5 hours by conventional rail to around 3.5 hours. the proposed double-tracking for high speed rail will be built between yermo and las vegas. a 500-room upscale hotel, dubbed “the x hotel,” will be built above the las vegas train station in the final phase of the project. for now, the proposed schedule is a round trip that departs friday and returns sunday. the service is expected to begin in september 2019. the x train will have competition, however, if another company's plan comes to fruition.
