The Boring Company will develop an underground “people mover” for Las Vegas

Last week, the Boring Company won a $48.6 million bid to design and build a “people mover” beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center. “Las Vegas is known for disruption and for reinventing itself,” Tina Quigley, the chief executive officer of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, said when the partnership between the Boring Company and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) was announced in March. Digging a $49 million electric-car-tunnel to avoid walking from one end of a convention center to the other might sound zany for other places, but it’s par for the course in Las Vegas, a city that is unusually open to building flashy new stuff and blowing it up later.
