Phys.org [phys.org]:

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 [fandom.com], Mirelurks [fandom.com], Mole rats [fandom.com], and Feral Ghouls [fandom.com].
