The company’s plan is to expand the Vegas Loop to 29 miles. It would have 51 stops along the Las Vegas Strip corridor, including downtown, Allegiant stadium, and the airport.
The company says visitors and locals will be able to use the system. No tax dollars will be used. The agreement is that the Boring Company will fund the tunnels and hotels will pay for the construction of their own stations.

Anything that gets vehicles off roads helps. The original Boring Company imagery foresees driverless multi-passenger shuttles. I expect this will happen once the system is fully operational rather than using only Teslas.
