Boring Co. has won its first commercial transportation contract, a $48.7 million mile-long project to shuttle visitors around the Las Vegas convention center.

It is not quite the San Francisco-to-Los Angeles scale imagined when entrepreneur Elon Musk set out his vision for the company, but the contract gives it an important mark of legitimacy. And going forward, Boring Co. is offering up suggestions for how the system could one day extend to other parts of Las Vegas, and perhaps even Los Angeles.
