Elon Musk tweeted Sunday a photo from the Boring Company’s Vegas Loop, saying the company is planning a Fallout-themed grand opening party.

The photograph shows Musk and his sons standing in what appears to be the underground station for the Loop. Loop is a high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported via compatible autonomous electric vehicles at up to 155 miles per hour.

Similar to a train station there are tunnels, departure signs, and cars. The difference is that the cars appear to be Tesla Model 3 sedans.

The Boring Company started the Vegas Loop in 2019 and finished two underground tunnels last year. Serving the convention center, a walk between halls that would take 15 minutes, will now take 1 minute via Loop.

While there’s still no opening date, Musk seems excited about a party.

He said the party’s theme will be based on the video game Fallout, a post-apocalyptic role-playing game. Tesla offered the game in the Tesla Arcade last year.
