Boring Company To Start Tunnel At New Convention Center On Friday

Elon Musk’s Boring Company will begin drilling an underground tunnel for the Las Vegas Convention Center’s planned people mover on Friday.

The $52.5 million project will allow convention attendees to travel the length of the Las Vegas Convention Center’s 200-acre campus in approximately one minute, according to officials.

The transportation system will have three passenger stations that connect the convention center’s 3.2 million-square-foot space with the 1.4 million-square-foot West hall that is now under construction.
