Vegas Loop
Operating stations, convention-center figures, and full-build claims for the Vegas Loop, with company numbers kept apart from the LVCVA's.

Vegas Loop is the Las Vegas tunnel system operated with Tesla vehicles by The Boring Company. This page collects the figures that public pages actually state, and it labels which page stated them.
Convention center
The Boring Company’s LVCC page describes the original loop as 1.7 miles and three stations, connecting the West Hall to the rest of the campus, turning what it calls a 45-minute walk into about two minutes. It says the firm-fixed price was about $47 million, that tunneling ran during conventions with over 100,000 attendees without closing roads, and that the loop opened in April 2021. The same page says 2024 brought the system to 2.1 miles and five stations, adding Riviera and Central Plaza, and that operations have shown peaks above 4,500 passengers an hour and above 32,000 a day.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority describes the campus system as about 2 miles and five stations, built for electric zero-emission Tesla vehicles, and designed to carry more than 4,400 attendees an hour. Campus trips are free. Leaving the campus requires a ticket, which the authority points to lvloop.com. The authority also says the wider network is planned to grow past 100 stations and 68 miles. “Designed to” and “plans to” are the authority’s words. They are not a count of stations open today.
Network the company calls active
On the Vegas Loop project page, the company listed these stations as active when this page was checked:
- LVCC South, West, Central, Central Plaza, and Riviera
- Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, Fontainebleau, and Sahara
- Airport Terminal 1, Airport Terminal 3, and Turnberry Towers
That is 14 names. The page says those stations have carried more than 4 million passengers, with trips of about 2 to 8 minutes. A separate “opening soon” list includes Virgin, Hughes Center, a Paradise Road site by UNLV, and others, and the page says “and 7 more,” so the soon-list is not a complete inventory.
The Resorts World connector is described by the company as open since 2022, with travel times of about 2 to 5 minutes.
Full build
The company page says Clark County and the City of Las Vegas have approved 68 miles and 123 stations. Hold that next to the LVCVA’s “plans to grow to over 100 stations and more than 68 miles.” Both are statements about a future network. The company’s own snapshot table on the same page distinguishes a current station total from a larger end-of-year total. Use the current column for what it claims is open.
Clark County safety rules for longer tunnels are described in the Las Vegas Review-Journal and in a later station-entitlement story. Those articles are local reporting. They are not a substitute for the ordinance text.
