The Vegas Loop underground transportation system connected to the Las Vegas Convention Center hit a milestone on Tuesday: It passed the 1 million passenger mark, officials said.
The 1 millionth rider was commuting to participate in the opening day of the CON-EXPO, which is billed as North America’s largest construction industry trade show.
The $533.5 million tunnel system with three passenger stations at the convention center debuted in the spring of 2021, taking conventiongoers through the tunnels — each run for just under 1 mile — in electric Tesla vehicles, with speeds reaching up to 40 mph.
The system is designed to transport up to 4,400 people per hour in more than 60 cars under the 200-acre campus.
