Friday, the boring machine broke through the last bit of a tunnel under the Las Vegas Convention Center. This completes the first section of drilling for the project. It’s part of the master plan to move people quickly around the facility. The convention center is in the process of expanding by 1.4 million square feet. That will bring the total convention space to 4.6 million in exhibition space. — KTNV Las Vegas

it’s a giant pneumatic tube.
Better for goods than people. I would never ride one in a million years
^ it ain't even that. It's a one-way, passenger-car sized tunnel to chauffeur LVCV people Strip-side. No skates, nothing new. Will likely debut as Model X on Autopilot.
