Elon Musk’s company succeeded in Las Vegas
The Boring Company (TBC), an infrastructure and tunnel construction firm founded by Tesla (TSLA) – Get Free Report CEO Elon Musk, has reached some big Las Vegas goals.
Those objectives include two major milestones.
It is widely known that transportation issues around the Las Vegas Strip have become a source of discontent.
Hailing taxis or using Uber (UBER) – Get Free Report and Lyft (LYFT) – Get Free Report are ways to get to, and move up and down, the Las Vegas Boulevard.
Once there, walking to casinos such as MGM (MGM) – Get Free Report, Caesar’s Palace (CZR) – Get Free Report and other entertainment venues is famously challenging.
The city’s sidewalks have given way in places to walkways and escalators. Taking a straight line has become nearly impossible.
The Boring Company May Have a Solution
An underground transportation project in the city by TBC may have figured out a way to make things easier.
A new announcement was made in a Twitter post from the company. It shows a remarkable time-lapse video of the project in action.

“Two of the Elon Musk-owned company’s digging machines dubbed Prufrock-1 and Prufrock-2, arrived at Encore on the Las Vegas Boulevard and Westgate just off the Strip,” reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The project was undertaken in what appears to be a quick and efficient manner, compared to an earlier effort.
“The company noted that it took 10 weeks to mobilize, launch, tunnel 2,350 feet and retrieve Prufrock-2. In comparison, the Boring machine used to begin the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop project, Godot, took 10 weeks just to launch,” the publication wrote.
The first iteration of the enterprise opened in 2022. It linked Hilton’s (HLT) – Get Free Report Resorts World to the city’s convention center.
Future Plans For the System
Boring Company’s objective is to further dig out a way to provide transportation in both ways along the Strip, stopping at important visiting areas.
“The planned system of 65 total miles of tunnels with 69 stations will include stops at Allegiant Stadium, just about every resort on the Strip, downtown resorts and the Fremont Street Experience, the planned Oakland Athletics ballpark set to be constructed at the site of the Tropicana and UNLV,” the Review-Journal wrote. “Longer term goals include linking to Harry Reid International Airport.”
