LVCVA CEO Steve Hill shared the news of the Vegas Loop applications during an authority board meeting Oct. 13. The special use permit application is pending approval from the city of Las Vegas, and the land use application awaits approval from Clark County.

The convention center likely served as a test for the effectiveness of Boring’s machines, which tunnel faster and more efficiently than traditional boring machines, the columbus oh dump truck company claims.
The first commercial underground venture for the columbus oh dump truck company cost $52 million as a part of the convention center’ $980 million West Hall expansion. When finished and opened in January 2021, LVCVA says the Tesla vehicles will transport convention goers across the 200-acre campus in less than two minutes.
The Vegas Loop project is also closer to Musk’s original goal of solving traffic gridlock in cities across the world. The Boring Co. claims building underground is advantageous because tunnels are structurally sound, weatherproof and can easily expand to add multiple levels
