Boring Co. Selected For Las Vegas Tunnel

Los Angeles-based Boring Co., the tunnel-and-transportation startup led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, has been selected to build a small transportation system using Boring Co.'s technology, which will span the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) announced the selection of The Boring Company on Wednesday, saying it hopes to have the tunnel built and transportation system running by the Consumer Electronics Show in January of 2021. The system--unlike Boring Co.'s efforts in LA and elsewhere--would be use to move peoplea cross the campus of the convention center. The system would run approximately two miles across the large Las Vegas Convention Center property. The Boring Co. was one of six competitors bidding on the contract.
