Musk’s Boring Company has already improved the flow of people at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) by way of an underground tunnel system. But the planet’s second-richest man has grander plans for the Entertainment Capital of the World.<\/p>\n

Musk’s Boring Company is seeking to build 29 miles of underground tunnels. That would connect the casino Resort Corridor with various places of interest in the Las Vegas Valley, including Allegiant Stadium, UNLV, and downtown’s Fremont Street. The project is called the Vegas Loop.<\/p>\n

The Clark County Commission yesterday unanimously approved a special use permit for The Boring Company to submit further detailed plans for the twin-tunnel transportation network.<\/p>\n

It will also go to @AllegiantStadm<\/a> and @UNLV<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/2ju3xcFq7O<\/a><\/p>\n
