WiFi on the Las Vegas Monorail?

VEGAS' BEST-KEPT SECRETS (A lot of thing still stay here).
 
Why doesn't the monorail tell people they can get wifi on the trains? Or is this not for public consumption? Might get a few more passengers.

 

I also got 1xRTT service with Sprint yesterday, this time with the cellular data card directly plugged into my laptop, but this morning on the Monorail car (which I hadn't previously realized offered Wi-Fi throughout its entire traverse, not just at the stations) I got EV-DO Rev. 0 speeds.

Granted, Las Vegas may be feeding the cars with WAN access via a non-Sprint, non-cellular method, but I didn't notice a satellite dish (or satellite latencies), and I doubt the broadband data's being passed through the rails, either!
