The Boring Company is prioritizing an extension of the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop to go to the Vegas Airport. This will greatly increase the usage and revenue generation of the system. The Boring company Loop should be able to provide consistent 7-ten minute travel times to the airport from the strip.
If there were multiple tunneling machines then this airport extension could complete and open in 2026-2027.
Using regular surface cars takes 10-20 minutes in normal traffic but 30-40 minutes in heavy traffic to go from the Vegas Strip to the airport.
Normal Traffic: 10-20 minutes
Crowded Traffic: 30-40+ minutes
Uber: Approximately $26 to $28.
Taxi: Approximately $30 (including additional fees).
The cost of rides on the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop (LVCC Loop) varies depending on the destination within the system. Fares typically range from $5 to $12 per ride.

Yeah I wish the Boring company would upsize the tunnels and stick frequent automated metro trains in them. Whoever is paying for this boondoggle has a screw loose.
I live in Las Vegas and no one has ever mentioned the boring company or the tunnels ,let alone use them.
These were all supposed to be finished years ago,and if Elon can’t have FSD on a one way tunnel, he is last in the robotaxi race.
Imagine how much they will be able to lower fares when they discover electric buses and make them run every 2 minutes. Or maybe even trams that run every 5 minutes.
The United States is effectively closed from anything that makes sense at least until next year after the election is over. So, making efficient public transit in America is a when it is a… disaster. The biggest hope is the Boring Company to help with some problems but larger projects like rail are simply a money pit.
