Under construction Hughes Center is under construction, opening soon; no official date. The Collective is listed as opening soon, and Tuscany’s two stations are approved.
- Hughes Center
- On the former Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant site, 3987 Paradise Rd, west side of Paradise just north of Flamingo Rd. The vegasloop.com booking data already names a “Gordon Biersch Brewery Entrance” pickup here, but The Boring Company still lists the station as opening soon. Coming soon, location is an estimate until officially announced.
- Sphere
- Steve Hill called it the main station for Sphere, “about four tenths of [a] mile” away (Review-Journal, Apr 2025).
- Timing
- One of three stations expected to open with the Paradise tunnels; Hill expects that before Grand Prix weekend (Nov 19–21). No official date.
The stations
Hughes Center (former Gordon Biersch site) Under construction
Gordon Biersch opened here in August 1997 and closed on April 30, 2023. The site was also among the 19 stations approved Aug 19, 2026, with a Boring Company office planned on site. During Grand Prix week it sits just east of the T-Mobile fanzone entrance around Sphere.
The Collective Approved
On The Boring Company’s “Opening Soon” list without an address. The Collective at 3900 Paradise Rd is the likely match, but that’s unconfirmed. Coming soon, location is an estimate until officially announced.
Former Firefly site (reported)
The Review-Journal reported in April 2025 that The Boring Company, through its subsidiary Object Dash, bought the 1.29-acre former Firefly Tapas parcel at 3824 Paradise for $8.75 million in Jan 2025, for a station that would also serve Sphere. It isn’t on The Boring Company’s lists, and whether it’s the same station as The Collective is unknown.
Tuscany (two stations) Approved
The Review-Journal reports “two at the Tuscany” in the Aug 19, 2026 approval, without names or locations. Tuscany Suites & Casino is at 255 E Flamingo Rd. No construction or opening date. Coming soon, location is an estimate until officially announced.
