The Executive Director of Infrastructure in Las Vegas presented the final network of tunnels to the city council at a meeting yesterday. The Boring Company is working on a project that will include popular Las Vegas locations like Allegiant Stadium and HarryReid Airport, according to the man. The Boring Company will use its own money and private land owners who are willing to pay for a station in order to fund the loop project.
The entire team at the City of Las Vegas would like to thank you. The company is excited to build a safe, convenient, and awesome transportation system in the city.
The Vegas loop project was granted a permit by The Boring Company. The first version of the loop was approved in October of 2021. The purpose of yesterday's hearing was to approve the updated Monorail Agreement, which will allow any other transportation body to build a Monorail in Las Vegas for the next 50 years.
The Las Vegas Convention Center was the site of a pilot tunnel opened by The Boring Company. At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2022, riders got to test out the tunnel, but they weren't impressed. Vehicles only cruise at 35 miles per hour, instead of the 150 miles per hour that the company has talked about. Those using the tunnels at the trade show were shown videos and pictures of a traffic jam in the narrow tunnel.
I like public transportation but it feels like the Boring Company is reinventing it. The United States stopped funding public transit in favor of a car-based society in the 19th century. As much as the company wants to say its tunnels aren't a subway, they're just a subway
