Resorts World Leg of Elon Musk's Las Vegas Loop Opens

- The Las Vegas Loop underground transportation system has now extended beyond the footprint of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Loop now goes to Resorts World, through a bi-directional tunnel. Up next, a stop at Encore.
This is awful and slow, and I'm a big Elon fan. One lane for traffic both ways? Moving at a crawl making hard 90's in a surface lot? It's so inefficient I don't see how anyone approved it.
you should check out the average speed compared to a typical light rail when you include wait time. you may be surprised.
The Las Vegas Convention & Visitor Authority approved it. The president, Steve Hill, is not a smart man. Running a shuttle bus on the current surface streets is not eye catching, so they have to be shills for Elon Musk because now. The mistake is done and the money has been spent. Speaking the truth would reveal how inept they are at their jobs.
Eventually the tunnel will go one way only. It will also visit other resorts.
@@kevinbailey8827 I can cycle the length of Resorts World to LVCC on the surface streets faster than these e-taxis can do the same trip via tunnel.
@@ddrhazy No you can’t, it’s not allowed now that there’s a tunnel.
Just kidding. Feel free to cycle if you want.
Eventually these tunnels will take you to the airport and to downtown, as well as all the casinos on the strip and the stadium. But you can still cycle to those places if you want.
That is a huge win for Resorts World! Convention goers will stay at Resorts World just out of convenience. Thanks for the update!
Exciting... New experiences always fun 😊
I agree. They built that property at a perfect spot for the convention and their ballroom spaces. The design is perfect.
Huge loss if they don't improve the tunnel look. WHITE UGLY WALL!
Is this the Mandalay Bay convention center?
It's the Last Vegas Convention Center.
Great to see you out and about in Vegas on UA-cam instead of just reading your tweets on Twitter.
It's a lot of over the ground driving
lets go to a tunnel and drive 35mph....... Amazing technology!!! so revoluntary!
Wait till you find out how fast other transit averages
@@somedude-lc5dy remember that top speed is irrelevant, average speed is the important number. And the loop does pretty average here at ~24 mph. Most modern metros are pretty comparable, for example Copenhagen gets 22mph average, Seattle gets 25mph, Amsterdam gets 24mph.
Shocking that people think a car driving in a (one way LOL) tunnel is somehow revolutionary.
It costs $160M less than its competitor on the same route, and way more flexible for expansion
Tesla's in tunnels are efficient. On a Wh/pax-mile basis, a Loop Model Y averaging 2.4 passengers uses less energy than any heavy or light rail transit system in the US.
If using 6 seater Model X instead - it's even better. If you get rid from the driver and go autonomous - amazingly better, increasing speed and decreasing distance between cars.
The subway is inherently limited by boarding throughput, and trains on a single track unable to pass each other and unable to do boarding procedure in parallel. So The Boring Company's tunnels are potentially very efficient
It's built 10x cheaper and 10x faster.... Don't let facts get in the way of you hating. Also, these are early projects, let's wait and see where the company is at in 10 years... (At which point you'll pretend you were never a hater)
the key is automation, which isn't there yet. it works OK right now, but not great. with automation, it could actually take over most transit project in small-medium cities.
@bergonius
So 6 seater is better? Is a 60 seater even better?
What a weird system.
This is what happens when people who’ve never taken real transit thinks real transit should work.
I stayed one month ago there, Great Place!!! Thanks man
I love your #Elonmusk Video
Another Elon Musk´s project that is a bit.... how to describe it.....too expenive for barely nothing, like his brother @hyperloop.
Wouldn't want to be caught down there in a heavy rain. I'll take a raincheck, lol.
Ro you think people would build a tunnel without thinking about flooding?
The Loop feels so beta and not scalable.
You're right. Without automation and/or a higher occupancy vehicle, it can't scale well. Those two things are in the works, so we'll have to see how it goes
@somedude-lc5dy Don't we have an effective transit network with automation and high capacity vehicles?
Nah..
So you are driving an electric car through a narrow tunnel...what is the point of this again? Wouldn't a subway system be more efficient and carry far more passengers?
Look at LV monorail case on how the "build a train please" in low density cities had worked "so well"
This is "Personal Rapid Transit". It has pros and cons compared to Mass Transit.

depends on what you mean by efficient. the average cost of a metro is also 23x more expensive than this system. if you don't need the capacity, why pay 23x more?
Horrible tunnel ride... Need some virtual reality stuff in there. Please this is Las Vegas, someone needs to create a very nice environment or this Tesla thing will fail badly!
Is it open to the public 🤔?
Scary. ( to me)
TOTAL DISLIKE!!!🥶
People always hate revolutionary ideals.
A one lane tunnel for cars... but it's got pretty colored lights. The world will never be the same. Elon is God.
Putting cars underground is not "revolutionary"
