The basics
What is the Vegas Loop?
An underground transportation system in Las Vegas. You ride in a Tesla through tunnels between stations at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and several resorts, with curbside stops at the airport.
Who built the Vegas Loop?
The Boring Company. The convention center section, LVCC Loop, opened in April 2021. Tickets are sold on vegasloop.com.
Is the Vegas Loop open to the public?
Yes. Anyone with a ticket can ride, and The Boring Company says it has carried more than 4 million passengers.
Do I need to own a Tesla to ride?
No. The cars are all Teslas, but riders don’t need to own one, and you can’t drive your own car in the tunnels. See the Vegas Loop for Tesla owners.
Is the Vegas Loop self-driving?
Not as a rule. In November 2025 the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that some rides between LVCC Central and Encore used self-driving Teslas with a safety driver, and we haven’t seen an official date for driverless rides.
Price and tickets
How much does the Vegas Loop cost?
As quoted on vegasloop.com Oct 30, 2026: free between LVCC stations; $4.75 one way between the LVCC, Resorts World, Westgate and Encore; $7.00 to Fontainebleau; $7.50 to Sahara; a $13.25 Day Pass; and $12–14 one way to the airport. Check vegasloop.com for current prices. See all fares.
Is the Vegas Loop free?
Only between the convention center’s five Loop stations. Everything else needs a ticket.
How do I buy Vegas Loop tickets?
On vegasloop.com, or by scanning the QR code at the station. The checkout takes Google Pay, X or a card. See how to ride the Vegas Loop.
Do I need to book in advance?
No, but Vegas Loop recommends buying online first so boarding is faster.
What ticket types are there?
Single Ride, Round Trip and Day Pass, plus event passes (like the SEMA Pass) during some shows. The Day Pass doesn’t cover Fontainebleau, Sahara or the airport.
Hours
What are the Vegas Loop hours?
They vary by station and day. Resort stations ran 7 AM–9 PM on most days in the Vegas Loop hours calendar (checked Oct 31, 2026). LVCC stations and Encore follow the convention schedule and close on days with no show, and airport rides are offered day by day.
Is the Vegas Loop open today?
Check the hours calendar on vegasloop.com on the day you ride. Hours change for conventions and big events.
What are the Loop hours during F1 race week?
The Vegas Loop calendar shows longer hours for most stations during race week; see our F1 guide for the table. Check Encore station on vegasloop.com closer to race week.
What are the Loop hours during SEMA?
They follow the show schedule. See our SEMA 2026 guide and the LVCC campus page for the dated hours.
Stations and map
How many Vegas Loop stations are open?
The Boring Company lists 13 active stops: five at the LVCC, Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, Fontainebleau, Sahara, Turnberry Towers (a residential lobby stop) and the airport curbs at Terminals 1 and 3. See every open station.
Where can I see a Vegas Loop map?
Our Vegas Loop map shows open, opening-soon and planned stations. Planned positions are approximate.
Which Vegas Loop stations are at the convention center?
Central, Central Plaza, Riviera, South and West. Rides between them are free. See the LVCC campus guide.
Airport
Does the Vegas Loop go to the airport?
Yes, to curbside stops at Terminals 1 and 3, partly on surface streets, with limited availability. Airport rides aren’t sold to or from Encore or LVCC Central Plaza. See the airport step by step.
When will there be a Loop station inside the airport?
There’s no official date. In October 2026 the LVCVA’s CEO told the Review-Journal an FAA environmental review was “very close to finalizing.”
Riding
How long is the wait?
Vegas Loop says the median wait is zero seconds, with 1–3 minutes at peak times.
How long is the ride?
About 2 to 8 minutes, according to The Boring Company.
Will I share the car?
Vegas Loop says you’ll nearly always have the car to yourself, and groups of 3 or more are guaranteed a private car.
Can kids ride? Do I need a car seat?
Yes. Everyone over age 2 needs a ticket, and you bring and install your own car seat.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, on a leash, in a harness or in a carrier. Pets ride in the back, on the floor when possible, and never in the front seat.
Can I bring luggage?
Yes, if it fits in the trunk, the front trunk or at your feet without blocking doors.
Can I eat or drink in the car?
No food and no open drinks. Drinks in spill-proof containers, like water bottles or lidded coffee cups, are fine.
Is the Vegas Loop wheelchair accessible?
Vegas Loop’s ADA page says riders using manual wheelchairs or scooters can ride in the cars using transfer boards, with the device carried in the same car, and riders using power chairs are offered an accessible van on surface streets instead. Station staff help choose the option. See accessibility, kids and bags.

Expansion and what’s next
How big will the Vegas Loop get?
The Boring Company says Clark County and the City of Las Vegas have approved 68 miles of tunnel and 123 stations, and it projects 28 stations by the end of 2026.
Where is the Vegas Loop expanding next?
Paradise Road toward UNLV (Virgin Hotels, 4744 Paradise and the former Gordon Biersch site) is next. Downtown, Allegiant Stadium, Chinatown, Tropicana Avenue and a station inside the airport are approved or planned, with no opening dates. See what’s coming next.
Will the Tesla Cybercab run in Las Vegas?
Tesla’s robotaxi company is approved for up to 5,000 vehicles in Clark County in its first 12 months, but Tesla still lists Las Vegas as “Coming Soon.” That’s separate from the Loop. See our Cybercab status page.
Vegas Loop or Monorail: which is better?
It depends where you’re going. The Loop serves the LVCC and north Strip resorts; the Monorail runs down the east side of the Strip to MGM Grand. See Loop vs Monorail vs Uber.
