The Las Vegas Loop project has reached a symbolic point, with the Boring Company bringing its tunnel system under the Strip to Resorts World.
The Las Vegas Loop is expected to connect resorts up and down the Strip, extending to downtown, UNLV and—someday—the airport, as detailed in a report by KLAS-TV Las Vegas.
This is the first step beyond the Las Vegas Convention Center, where the system is already functioning. The tunnel systems use electric Tesla vehicles.
The head of the digging machine poked out through the dirt on Friday, facing south along a path just west of the Strip running in front of a likely location for a station that Resorts World already had posted on signs inside the resort.
The Las Vegas Loop’s first steps will be to connect to Resorts World and Wynn Las Vegas, which both have agreements in place. After that, it’s unclear which direction the construction will go. The project has the go-ahead with Clark County through a franchise agreement. The cost is expected to be somewhere between bus fare and a typical charge through Uber or Lyft, KLAS said.
