Genting Group’s US$4.3 billion Las Vegas integrated resort development, Resorts World Las Vegas, has been granted permission by the Clark County Commission to proceed with construction of a passenger station and tunnel connecting the property with the Las Vegas Convention Center campus.
The proposed tunnel project, utilizing SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s innovative transportation system, would transport passengers between RWLV and the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) via underground tunnels in all-electric Tesla vehicles in under two minutes. Musk’s LVCC Loop is already under construction as a means of rapidly transporting people between the Convention Center’s exhibition halls.
According to RWLV, the decision now moves the project into the next phase of the permitting process, with construction anticipated to begin by the end of the year.
“We are thrilled to receive approval from the County Commission to move forward with our proposed passenger station and tunnel and are eager to take the next steps in creating an innovative transportation solution for our convention guests and visitors,” said Scott Sibella, President of Resorts World Las Vegas.
