The Las Vegas City Council has approved plans for the Elon Musk-owned Boring Company’s Vegas Loop to extend from the resort corridor into downtown Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the council unanimously approved the monorail agreement for the project, paving way for the underground transportation system featuring a fleet of Teslas to include five initial downtown stops.
The Vegas Loop will eventually be a 34-mile tunnel network with about 55 stations including the airport and Allegiant Stadium.
Around 5 miles of tunnels and at least five stations will be included in the downtown area. The downtown stations include The Strat, Fremont Street Experience, the Slotzilla attraction, the Garage Mahal at Circa, and the Plaza.
