The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will spend up to $51.25 million in transportation amenities over the next three years to move conventioneers to and around the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The LVCVA board of directors on Tuesday approved a pair of agreements involving the Las Vegas Monorail and Elon Musk’s Boring Co.’s underground people-mover operations. The board also approved, at no cost, an agreement that eventually could link the Convention Center to Boring’s 15-mile citywide Vegas Loop system.
In three separate actions, the board authorized paying $45 million to Western Management Group for the operation of the Monorail from Feb. 7 through June 30, 2023; up to $6.25 million to Boring to operate the mile-long people-mover system from Feb. 1 through June 30, 2022; and, at no cost, authorized access to Boring to dig tunnels connecting the Convention Center with Encore beneath Convention Center land.
