Portions of the Elon Musk-owned Boring Company’s Vegas Loop are expected to be operational underneath the resort corridor sometime next year.

Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority CEO and President Steve Hill said the timeline depends on the permitting process, but noted he expected that to move fairly quickly.

“This is starting to be a repetitive process,” Hill told the Review-Journal. ” I mean the design of the tunnels isn’t changing and the design of the system isn’t changing. So, the building department has had an opportunity to learn the system, learn the construction methods and learn how it works.”

When the initial resort corridor portions of the loop system go online in 2023 they will open in sections, not necessarily connecting the entire system out of the gate, Hill noted.
