Elon Musk’s underground transportation system in Las Vegas, the Vegas Loop, got a big thumbs up from the City of Las Vegas on June 15, 2022.<\/p>\n

The City Council approved the expansion of the privately-funded Vegas Loop to downtown Las Vegas. Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond that big win, we got our hands on a document labeled “Proprietary and Confidential” that provides a first look at the Loop’s proposed connection between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Encore hotel.<\/p>\n

We love anything labeled “confidential.” It’s sexy AF.<\/p>\n

In time, there will be 55-plus Vegas Loop stations, but this one at the Las Vegas Convention Center is expected to remain the most badass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s the route the tunnel between the convention center and Encore will take.<\/p>\n

Underground, you’ll miss seeing the Wynn golf course, but no system is perfect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Musk’s Boring Co. keeps things simple with these tunnels. You depart from a station, zip along the tunnel and end up at another station. In Teslas, of course.<\/p>\n

The cars “porpoise” on a ramp, circle around and head back to the original station.<\/p>\n

This rendering gives us hope that we, too, could someday do renderings for the Boring Co.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the case of Resorts World, it seems there’s just the one tunnel, so cars can’t go in both directions at the same time as they do at the convention center. Cars must wait for the tunnel to be clear to go, but another tunnel is expected in the future. We’ve heard the Resorts World connector could open July 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

Here’s the moment when Boring broke through at Resorts World. They didn’t even invite us. Rude.<\/p>\n
