Although The Boring Co. has yet to begin digging any portion of the planned Vegas Loop, the Elon Musk-owned company is looking to expand the system of underground tunnels.

What was originally presented as a 29-mile tunnel network with 51 planned stations when the Clark County Commission approved it in 2021, has now grown to add several more miles of tunnels to the system, with 69 planned stations.

Newly added areas to the project’s plan include downtown area stops including the Arts District; Medical District, where the UNLV School of Medicine is located; the World Market Center; Symphony Park at the Smith Center; and the Las Vegas Premium Outlet Mall.
