The Las Vegas Boring project is coming to the light at the end of the tunnel, putting on the last finishing touches of Tesla solar panels on station roofs
. 
The Boring Company in partnership with the LVCC, the Las Vegas Convention Center group has been busy burrowing, with Prufrock the Drill, in it’s work to complete a tunnel loop for the Vegas area.

The @ElonMusk tunnel project just got a metric hell ton more fabulous. Garage Mahal to Allegiant in roughly, oh, already there. @BoringCompany pic.twitter.com/AY3oE6QWYq

Loop is a high-speed underground transportation system in which passengers are transported via compatible autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs) at capable of up to 155 miles per hour.
Vegas, “the city that never sleeps”, will be moving people at lightening speed.

The Stations for the LVCC Loop are coming to completion and adding Tesla solar panels.
Maybe a month or so. Some finishing touches need to be done on the stations.

Focusing on completing this Vegas loop first right? pic.twitter.com/LEcM3wq5k0

There was some false information circulating that the loop itself would not be capable of high traffic but that has been debunked and untrue.
(Be sure to click on the graphic in the tweet below.)
Time to dispel some @boringcompany FUD. This simulation moved 2,178 pax per hour, per *station*, per *direction*. That's over 13,000 pax per hour for the whole loop. There is no build up of pedestrians, ample crossing opportunity and still nowhere near theoretical capacity limit. pic.twitter.com/EjWJ3m7Jho

All Boring Loops will include continuously circulating cars dedicated to pedestrians & cyclists

You can watch the project from on-site live-cams.

Stay on track with more projects to come from The Boring Company. If you find bits of this interesting, apply below.
Do you like electrons? Do you like tunnels? Sounds like a match! Looking for the most talented electrical engineers in the world to help solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic. Both Las Vegas and Los Angeles positions available.https://t.co/imlQMDfprJ

Great idea!
