The underground system, dubbed the Convention Center Loop, is set to cost $52.5 million and will move guests from one end of the sprawling, 200-acre Las Vegas Convention Center in less than two minutes.<\/p>\n

The tunnel system will utilize 62 all-electric Tesla vehicles. The system is designed to move up to 4,400 conventioneers per hour.<\/p>\n
