New Resorts World tunnel link in Vegas could be ready for NAB April convention

Resorts World Las Vegas has told the Nevada Gaming Commission it intends to have its Boring Co. tunnel connection between the Strip property and the Las Vegas Convention Center open at the end of April, possibly in time for the National Association of Broadcasters convention 23-27, April. Elon Musk’s digging machine, Prufrock-1, first emerged Resorts World hotel on the Vegas Strip back in February. Scott Sibella, general manager of Resorts World Las Vegas, described the Boring tunnel project as the first connection between a resort and the Convention Center – part of a  51-station underground transit system. Sibella said he expected eight Tesla vehicles eventually to be dedicated to the Resorts World connection. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority recently approved a Boring connection between the Convention Center and Westgate Las Vegas that would intersect with the end point of the Resorts World tunnel. The station would be near the north end of the West Hall of the Convention Center and is expected to be extended south to intersect with the Convention Center Loop station near the south end of the West Hall.
