Tesla Tunnels & $5 Rides: The LASDiscounts Guide to the Vegas Loop

If you’ve spent any time on the Strip lately, you know that getting from point A to point B can be a headache. Between rideshare surge pricing and the infamous "Vegas traffic," moving between resorts can eat up your time and your budget.

Enter the Vegas Loop... the underground tunnel system by Elon Musk’s Boring Company. While it’s still expanding, it is already one of the best "insider secrets" for getting around the North Strip for just a few dollars.

What is the Vegas Loop?

Unlike a traditional subway, the Vegas Loop uses a fleet of Tesla vehicles to whisk passengers through neon-lit tunnels. There are no tracks and no waiting for a giant train to fill up. You simply hop into a Model 3 or Model X and head straight to your destination.

The North Strip Connection: Encore, Westgate, Resorts World & Fontainebleau

As seen in the latest viral clips, the North Strip is currently the best place to experience the Loop. The system now connects Encore, Westgate and two of the city's newest luxury resorts directly to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).

• Resorts World Station: Located at the foot of the resort, this station zips you to the LVCC in about two minutes.

• The Newest Addition: Fontainebleau Las Vegas: The Loop has officially expanded to Fontainebleau! This is a massive win for anyone staying at the North end of the Strip. You can now bypass the long walk across the massive LVCC parking lots and arrive at the West or North Halls in style.

• The Experience: You head underground to a sleek, climate-controlled station, hop in a Tesla, and enjoy a quiet, fast ride that feels like a scene out of a sci-fi movie.

The LASDiscounts Value Breakdown

We are all about finding the best bang for your buck, and the Loop delivers:

• Affordable Pricing: Currently, a pass for the Convention Center loop is typically around $5 for a day of unlimited rides. Compared to the cost of a single Uber during a busy convention, this is an absolute steal.

• Avoid the Surge: During major trade shows like CES or SEMA, rideshare prices can triple. The Loop stays at a flat, low rate.

• Mobile Ticketing: You can buy your passes directly on your phone via a QR code at the station, making it a paperless and hassle-free process.

Future Expansion: The Full Strip Loop

The ultimate goal is to connect the entire Strip—from the airport all the way to Downtown Las Vegas. While we wait for the full 65-mile map to open, the current triangle between Fontainebleau, Resorts World, and the Convention Center is a game-changer for anyone looking to save time and money on the North Strip.

Pro-Tips for Your First Ride:

• Check the Hours: The Loop primarily operates during Convention Center event hours. If there’s a big show in town, the Teslas are rolling!

• Follow the Signs: At Fontainebleau, follow the signage toward the parking garage/transportation area to find the underground entrance.

• Perfect for Techies: Even if you don't need to go to the Convention Center, it's worth the $5 just to experience the "Tesla Tunnel" tech and get some great photos for your feed.
