Boring Company's underground Loop now runs to the Las Vegas Strip

The seven-tenths of a mile walk from the Las Vegas Convention Center to El Gordo can seem like a long time. The official opening of the latest loop station at the Las Vegas Convention Center is great news for Al Pastor fans, as it will make it much easier to get a taco at the show.

The convention center is connected to a sister station underneath the World Resorts property on the other side of South Las Vegas Blvd. The underground vehicle network will be expanded to more than 55 stops along the Strip once the trip between the two takes just a few minutes.

The president of Resorts World Las Vegas said Thursday that it was 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.

The initial $47 million tunnels were opened for service on April 20th, 2022. Las Vegas approved the expansion of the Boring Company's loop network in October of 2021. The Clark County Commissioners approved the expansion of that figure to 34 miles in June, 2022. The system so far has only been able to move around 575 people.
