About the Vegas Loop

The Boring Company unveiled the Vegas Loop in June 2021. The first phase of tunnels was dug beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center to connect exhibition halls. Future plans for the Vegas Loop include expanding routes to connect additional areas, including the Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and Harry Reid International Airport.

 As of February 2026, these are the current routes available on the Vegas Loop:

• – Las Vegas Convention Center Loop
• – Resorts World Connector
• – Westgate Connector
• – Encore Connector

Here are fun facts about the Vegas Loop.

• – It’s nicknamed the “Tesla Tunnel” because it uses all-electric Tesla cars to transport passengers. 
• – Tesla cars drive at 30 miles per hour in the tunnels
• – Cars only have approx. 17 inches of clearance on either side when driving inside the narrow tunnel
• – The tunnels are located 40 feet below ground

What’s the point of the Vegas Loop?

The Vegas Loop has ushered in a new era of travel. The underground tunnels revolutionize how we’ll move across the Strip and to other popular locations. As it continues to expand in phases, it’s proving itself a useful way for getting around. The main purpose of the Vegas Loop is to provide a faster, low-cost transportation option.

A low-cost transportation option

The Vegas Loop gives visitors even more options for getting around Las Vegas. Riders traveling between Las Vegas Convention Center stations can ride for free, while other stops cost between $5 and $12. See below for a complete pricing chart for how much it costs to ride the Vegas Loop.

A faster option to avoid traffic or walking

If you’ve ever taken an Uber from the Vegas airport to your hotel or driven from one side of the Strip to the other, then you’re already aware of all the traffic! Whether driving on the roads or walking on the sidewalks, there’s always congestion that can slow you down.

The Vegas Loop’s underground transport skips the busy streets and gets you to your destination much faster than walking. Compare a 30-minute walk from the LVCC West Hall to the LVCC South Hall with a 2-minute ride on the Loop.

Here’s how long the Vegas Loop takes to popular stops:

Trip	Travel Time
Convention Center Stops	Approx. 2-3 minutes
Harry Reid International Airport to Las Vegas Convention Center	5 minutes
Allegiant Stadium to Las Vegas Convention Center	4 minutes
Downtown Las Vegas to Las Vegas Convention Center	3 minutes

It’s an attraction!

It’s no secret that out-of-towners come to Las Vegas to be wow’d. Riding the Vegas Loop has all the shock factor you could ask for, from the moment you descend the escalators to joyriding through futuristic-looking tunnels in a sleek Tesla!

The primary purpose is transportation, but it’s become yet another Vegas attraction to experience the future of public transit.
