Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Could Be Coming to Las Vegas
Musk tweeted that he expected a convention center tunneling project to be operational by the end of 2019.
Las Vegas could become the first city to build a commercial transportation service dreamed up by Elon Musk, after local authorities voted on Tuesday to approve a recommendation to enter into exclusive negotiations with Musk’s tunneling business, Boring Co.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, a quasi-public body, voted to move ahead on talks with Boring Co., with the goal of voting on a contract by June. Ensuing talks would nail down details like the proposed route and the types of vehicles used for a project that aims to make it easier for visitors to get around Las Vegas’s sprawling convention center. After the addition of a new exhibition hall scheduled to open by 2021, the complex will run two miles in length.
