The Las Vegas visitors authority on Tuesday picked Elon Musk's tunnel-making startup "The Boring Company" to build an underground "people mover" as part of a massive convention center expansion.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) board of directors touted its choice as a "monumental decision that will revolutionize Southern Nevada's transportation."
The Boring Company will design, construct and operate a convention center transport system consisting of a loop of express-route tunnels capable of carrying passengers in autonomous electric vehicles at high speeds, according to LVCVA.
Travellers of the Vegas underground are advised to keep an eye out for Deathclaws, Mirelurks, Mole rats, and Feral Ghouls.

The reason that every major university maintains a department of
mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people.

Yep. Everybody's on the Strip. It's *jammed*. It's like, oh... there's a monorail over there someplace, but you have to leave the Strip, pay, wait, and get back to the strip. You could have walked down the Strip in the meantime, enjoying the spectacle that is Vegas.
If it's not *right there* on the sidewalk like a NYC subway, it's almost not worth it. NYNY could have a real subway right out front. How cool would that be?
