How do Las Vegas community leaders feel about Elon Musk’s proposed tunnel transit system? In short, they dig it.
Musk’s Boring Co. received unanimous Las Vegas City Council approval Wednesday to construct a leg of its proposed Vegas Loop from the Strip into the downtown resort corridor.
The council voted seven to zero to grant a special use permit to the company, giving it the right to build a 4.6-mile counterclockwise circuit that travels north under Las Vegas Boulevard to the downtown resort corridor and back south on Main Street.
The Boring Co. would still need to return to city council for permits and licensing before construction can begin.

Elon Musk’s proposed Vegas strip transit system to get city council vote
Sarah McBride
Elon Musk’s tunneling company Boring Co. is already building a transit system for Las Vegas convention-goers. Now, he wants to build one for the rest of the city.
On Wednesday, the Las Vegas City Council is set to vote on plans to dramatically expand Musk’s Loop project from a convention center transit system to a citywide network that would include hotels and, one day, potentially even the airport.
The proposed expansion brings the tunnel-based transportation system as far north as Ogden Avenue, near attractions such as the Downtown Container Park and classic casinos like the Golden Nugget. Proposed stops en route include the Arts District and the Stratosphere tower, the spaceship-like landmark that is part of a hotel. The precise location of stations will be determined later in the process, according to documents submitted to the council.

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.
