LAS VEGAS (KTNV) â Parking and driving around the resort corridor can be a challenge, but the Westgate Resort's new Vegas Loop station hopes to make that a lot easier, as county leaders hope the underground tunnel system built by Elon Musk's Boring Company continues to revolutionize transportation in the valley.
Carlos Licona from Florida is visiting Las Vegas for the World of Concrete Convention, and was amazed by the Vegas Loop, and hopes to see it expand.
"Very comfortable, secure, very fast," Licona said after his ride. "Certainly, with some of the congestion you see in some of the big cities, that would be fantastic."
That's the long-term goal in Las Vegas, according to Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson.
"The plan is for many, many, many miles of tunneling to be done," Gibson said. "As those tunnels are completed, we're hoping we can add each station much more rapidly than this one."
"Once this system is fully built, it'll be easy for all of our visitors to move through the resort corridor in a fun and very quick way," Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) CEO Steve Hill said.
Hill says they've moved more than 3 million people through the Convention Center's Vegas Loop since it came online in 2021, with new stations added at Resorts World in 2022 and Wednesday at the Westgate.
"Our vision at the LVCVA is to be a category of one, and this system embodies that," Hill said. "It's the only system like it in the world."
But the Loopâand all its tunneling underneath Las Vegasâhasn't come without a few controversies.
