The Boring Company Loop system will have tunnels which will have Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model X and even a high-speed tram based on the Model 3 that can take up to 16 people. The first system is being deployed in the Las Vegas Convention Center LVCVA which is paying $52.5 million. Now, this system is being expanded to connect the Convention Center with the popular casinos and eventually downtown Las Vegas, including even the McCarran Airport.
This new system is going to be built around a 16 kilometres tunnel that will go from McCarran airport to Fremont street with stops at all major resorts and casinos making up the Vegas strip.
