No public money will be used for the much-wider system, which could begin construction as soon as next year.

One connection, between the convention center and Resorts World, is already under construction and is expected to open in a few months. Those tunnels allow up to 4,400 convention attendees per hour to be transported under the sprawling campus in less than two minutes, free of charge (what would otherwise be a 25-minute walk). The Vegas Loop will also connect to the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, two side-by-side tunnels that became operational in June. As many as 700 Tesla vehicles ultimately could operate under some of the most expensive, densely developed real estate in the country. It will include T-Mobile Arena, Allegiant Stadium and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (Thomas & Mack Center). Teslas in tunnelsįifty-one stations are now anticipated for the Vegas Loop from downtown Las Vegas in the north to McCarran Airport in the south. While initial concepts touted autonomously driven, van-size Teslas, current plans call for regular all-electric Teslas with human drivers to circulate in the tunnels. The Clark County Commission unanimously approved a special-use permit and franchise agreement for the proposed 29-mile tunnel transportation system to operate throughout the resort corridor.Ī massive, high-tech boring machine drills the tunnels without disrupting the surface. The Vegas Loop, more informally known as 'Teslas in Tunnels,' an underground transportation solution designed by Elon Musk's Boring Company, took a step toward becoming a reality last month. But it could become a unique way for Las Vegas visitors to avoid traffic congestion and packed parking lots - and the Strip's newest tourist attraction. It's certainly not high-speed transportation.
