In some refreshingly good news, the Las Vegas Convention Center continues to make headway with its expansion, including the underground transportation system from Elon Musk and the Boring Company.<\/p>\n

The drilling of a second tunnel, part of the Convention Center Loop, is now underway.<\/p>\n

\"Boring
How mature are we for not making a sex joke right now? Thanks to the LVCVA for the pic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The tunnel system will transport convention attendees from one end of the Convention Center to the other, a distance of 4,486 feet. That’s 0.84962121 miles for the math nerds.<\/p>\n

Passengers in the underground transportation system, expected to move up to 4,400 people an hour in Tesla vehicles. The trip will take about a minute, or the average duration of a lovemaking session with this blog. We blame it on the rum.<\/p>\n

\"Elon
Elon Musk’s tunnel will debut just in time for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2021. It’s a good time to be a nerd in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The $52.5 million underground transportation system is on pace for completion by the end of 2020 but will officially debut in January 2021.<\/p>\n

In another notable moment in the convention center expansion, crews just completed a massive concrete pour.<\/p>\n

Workers poured 75 million pounds of concrete for a 600,000-square-foot floor and the time lapse video is supremely satisfying. Take a look.<\/p>\n
