The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced it was recommending a proposal from Elon Musk's Boring Co. to construct an underground automated transit system as part of a 1.4 million-square-foot expansion.
Elon Musk has promised to revolutionize underground tunneling in no less a fashion than his SpaceX rocket company and Tesla electric car maker have upended their respective industries.
If the organization’s board of directors approves the recommendation Tuesday, it could also pave the way for Boring Co. to eventually build tunnels that could connect the convention center to the city’s downtown and the Strip.
