Elon Musk’s ‘Teslas in Tunnels’ Las Vegas project is still happening, and here’s the first station

The first passenger station in the Las Vegas loop was revealed Thursday. The first station in what is expected to be 55 stops is located underneath Resorts World Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Convention Center has a small version of the Boring Company's tunnel system. After that, Musk proposed a huge expansion that was approved by Clark County officials. Despite Musk's previous statements, the system uses human-controlled Model X and Y vehicles to transport passengers.

The system will allow passengers to hitch rides in electric cars to and from places like the hotel casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, the city's new football stadium, and the Las Vegas Convention Center. The first station is a casino. The company recently received unanimous approval to expand its Vegas loop project to include stops at some of the world's most famous landmarks.

The president of Resorts World Las Vegas said that today marks a monumental moment for the city. The passenger station at the Las Vegas Convention Center will make it easier to visit the resort from there.

According to Clark County, as many as 57,000 passengers will be able to travel through the tunnel system per hour. Hotel casinos and other businesses that want a station to pay for construction costs will be asked by The Boring Company to do so.

The Boring Company is trying to build a system of tunnels under Las Vegas. Musk has changed his plans for a tunnel-based transportation system. He once thought of using sleds to shuttle cars from the surface to the tunnels and back in order to favor cyclists and pedestrians. In Chicago, Los Angeles, and the Northeast Corridor, some of the company's attempts to dig have failed.
