The Boring Company’s Special Use Permit application for its proposed Vegas Loop project was approved by the Las Vegas City Council. The Vegas Loop will connect with the tunneling company’s Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) Loop and any other service extensions.
The Las Vegas City Council discussed, voted, and approved the Boring Company’s request on Wednesday in a 7-0 vote. The request was listed as Agenda Item 85 with a recommendation for approval from the Las Vegas Planning Commission.

The approval opens the door for Elon Musk’s Boring Company to begin establishing more stops in the Vegas Loop, which was originally developed by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Association. Earlier this month, a Licence and Maintenance Agreement for the tunnel to expand to the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas was approved by Clark County, Nevada officials.
