county commissioners approved a plan last May to expand the tunnels to 65 miles and add 69 passenger stations
The next Boring Co. Vegas Loop offshoot from the Las Vegas Convention Center is nearing completion.The Westgate’s Vegas Loop station, just north of the convention center, is awaiting approval, Hill said.
One of Boring Co.’s drilling machines, dubbed Prufrock, is now digging from the convention center’s central hall toward the Encore. It will make a stop at the convention center’s Silver Lot first, and then relaunch it at the convention center’s Bronze Lot, where it will cross over Desert Inn and create the second tunnel to Encore, Hill said.
Tunneling work is also occurring from a lot Boring Co. purchased last year, sandwiched between Paradise Road and University Center Drive, across from UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center. That line will connect to Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, en route to the convention center. Crews reached Virgin in May and have since continued boring operations toward the convention center.
