The Boring Company has shared a bit more information on the plans for the underground transportation system it is constructing at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

New renderings posted on the company’s website show three station types: surface stations, subsurface stations, and subsurface open-air stations.

The website also has an updated description of the “Loop” with new details on the vehicles that will carry passengers.

Loop is an all-electric, zero-emissions, high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported via compatible Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs) at up to 150 miles per hour through Main Artery Tunnels between stations. AEVs are Tesla vehicles (Model S, 3, and X) that operate autonomously within the Loop system.

Once completed, the 2-mile Convention Center Loop will transport riders beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center free of charge. The $52.5 million Loop is the Boring Company’s first commercial project. The company is also working on projects in Los Angeles and Washington D.C.

This is brilliant marketing on the part of Tesla.

Will give thousands of Vegas High Rollers and visiting convention goers perhaps their first experience of riding in a Tesla.

When one of the cars gets a little worn, they can simply resell it as a used car and swap in a new one. Keep the cars always representing well.

Taxi experience in Vegas is normally vary poor and super expensive for even short distances and casino hopping.

Imagine that soon they will be boring tunnels from the Airport directly to major Casinos and convention center. Maybe even out to the Sports Stadiums and NASCAR Racetrack.

Crusiing in the cool underground tunnels will be far superior to enduring the endless baking heat during the typical Vegas days.

Exactly. And typical Vegas summer nights. 95 degrees F at midnight. Ugh. Been there, done that, hated it.
