Underground and below the lights of Sin City is the Las Vegas Loop.
Elon Musk’s unofficially named “Tesla Tunnel"createdby his spin-off, The Boring Company.
Or at least that’s what my phone said I did.
And while that distance is only 0.8 miles, it can often take upwards of 30 minutes to navigate.
But this year, it was different.
Very well expecting to find long lines and chaos.
There are several Tesla models available to passengers.
I got in the vehicle and said hello to a kind human driver.
The door closed itself, and off we went into a wormhole the Boring Company dug.
We started out going around 15 mph, so it was relatively uneventful.
The driver actually hit 43 mph and said he’ll likely get a warning.
Thanks, stranger, that was fun.
From here, I exited about 30ft from the doors to the South Hall building.
It’s that fast and easy.
The ride is quick, calm, and rather enjoyable.
Honestly, I don’t think it took longer than 2 minutes.
There’s no curb to step over or oncoming traffic.
Instead, the Las Vegas Loop takes you directly to where you want to go.
Plus, trams and trains take forever to get going.
That said, Elon Musk’s Boring Company recentlyreceived approvalto extend it by 29 miles.
Overall, it expects to build nearly 50+ access stations and support approximately 57,000 passengers per hour.
Imagine going from the Airport to your hotel in a matter of minutes.
Effortlessly skipping traffic, construction, dangerous drivers, dealing with an Uber, and more.
And remember, this is only the beginning.
For now, all we have is a smidgeon of that dream.
