From Times Wire Reports

The Las Vegas monorail reopened Tuesday morning after safety concerns shut it down for nearly a week, costing the private venture an estimated $480,000 in revenue, a spokesman said.

The monorail started shuttling people along the 3.9-mile route about 8 a.m. after inspectors deemed it safe, spokesman Todd Walker said. The monorail was closed when a 60-pound wheel fell off one of the trains. No one was injured.
