Elon Musk’s Las Vegas Loop Clears Last Major Hurdle for Expansion
County paves the way for Boring Co. to expand its first commercial underground system.
Soon, Elon Musk could be a Las Vegas transportation kingpin. On Wednesday, county officials unanimously approved designs for two additional tunnels connecting hotels with the Las Vegas Convention Center, clearing the way for Musk’s Boring Co. to expand its first commercial underground transportation system.
Approval from the Clark County Commission is one of the last hurdles to a proposed expansion of a Boring Co. project burrowing underneath the convention center, which was largely finished in May but has yet to open for rides. One of the hotels connecting to the Loop, Resorts World, said it expects construction on the expansion to begin by the end of this year, Scott Sibella, president of Resorts World Las Vegas, said in an emailed statement.
