LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Las Vegas’ underground transportation network is continuing to grow. Elon Musk’s Boring Company is expanding the Vegas Loop.

Westgate Resort and Casino announced it will become the first resort with a direct connection to Harry Reid International Airport.

So far, the Las Vegas Loop has already transported more than 4 million passengers across 11 stations, but the long-term vision is far bigger. Passengers will be transported in Tesla Model X’s and Cyber Trucks to and from the airport.

Westgate’s Vice President of Marketing, Dawn Rawle, said this connection could be a game-changer for visitors.

“It helps that we are so close to the Las Vegas convention center, also making it easier for every convention goer coming into this city,” Rawle said.

Plans approved by Clark County and the city of Las Vegas call for up to 68 miles of tunnels and more than 100 stations eventually linking major destinations like Allegiant Stadium, the Strip, and downtown.

“These tunnels are 2.4 miles behind us, and you can make it from our property to the airport in about three minutes,” Rawl said.

8 News Now got a firsthand look at how it works, riding through the tunnels with the Boring Company’s operations manager, Matt Weber.

If completed as planned, the Las Vegas Loop could reshape how millions of people move through southern Nevada one tunnel at a time.

“The cars are limited to 50 mph, but that’s really more so if we have to use a surface street in an emergency or something like that,” Weber said.

Westgate officials said tunnel one between the airport and Westgate should be completed by the end of April. A second tunnel is expected to follow soon after.

The expansion doesn’t stop at Westgate. Nevada education leaders also recently approved a deal allowing a tunnel to be built beneath UNLV, bringing a station directly to students and staff at no cost to the university.
