The Boring Company website states that the Vegas Loop has already transported more than 3 million passengers through 8 stations. It describes the system as providing fast and convenient transportation to the Las Vegas community and its visitors.
In its final approved form the network is planned to include 68 miles of tunnel and 104 stations with capacity for up to 90,000 passengers per hour and transit times of 2 to 8 minutes between key locations including Harry Reid International Airport, Allegiant Stadium and downtown.
The Boring Company posted on X that the newest station is at the Fontainebleau Resort. The post included video of the station.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas confirms on its website that the station is located on Level V1 and is complimentary for resort guests with direct connections to the Las Vegas Convention Center terminals as well as Wynn Encore and Resorts World Las Vegas. Rides are significantly faster than walking or driving according to the resort page.
The original segment of the system known as the LVCC Loop opened in April 2021. It has recorded peak capacity of more than 4,500 passengers per hour and more than 32,000 passengers in a single day according to the Boring Company page.
Local news outlets reported the Fontainebleau station as the first on the Las Vegas Strip. Eight News Now covered the development in January. Teslarati and Travel Weekly also reported the opening in late January and early February.
Ridership saw a notable increase in March during the CONEXPO-CON/AGG construction expo. The Boring Company reported approximately 82,000 passengers during the event according to a Yahoo Finance report.
Some coverage has included questions about the project’s scalability and operations. The Associated Press reported in February that Nevada lawmakers have raised concerns over workplace safety and environmental complaints related to tunnel construction.
The Las Vegas Sun reported in January on tax and regulatory questions tied to the expansion beyond the original underground segments. The Review-Journal detailed future build plans from the company president in January.
The project remains an operational test of electric vehicle tunnels in a major tourist city with Clark County and Las Vegas city approvals in place for further expansion. No additional regulatory filings or investigations were detailed in the sources reviewed.
