Elon Musk’s Boring Company has received the green light to start expanding its “Loop,” an electric transport system using Tesla vehicles, in Las Vegas, Electrek reported.

A Boring Company Loop is an underground tunnel system in which autonomous Tesla vehicles travel at high speed to transport people.

The project was initiated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), which operates the city’s massive convention center.

They are currently expanding the already gigantic venue with a new section to open in 2021, and they need a new way to move people between all their different halls.

In May 2019, the LVCVA chose The Boring Company’s $50 million project to act as its new official people mover.

The Boring Company plans to expand casino by casino on the Strip, leading to a citywide system.

Earlier this year, we learned that Resorts World Las Vegas, a new casino resort to launch next year, and Encore At Wynn, have both applied to have the tunnels expanded to their casinos.

Now we learn that they have received “approval by the Clark County Commission necessary to move forward with constructing the resort’s passenger station and tunnel that will connect to the Las Vegas Convention Center campus via Elon Musk’s innovative transportation system.”

The new resort says that the Boring Company Loop will be able to transport people from the convention center to the resort in Tesla vehicles in just 2 minutes.

They didn’t offer a specific timeline for the new Loop extension to be operational, but the resort is planning to open in the summer of 2021.
