The Boring Company has expanded the Vegas Loop, a 68-mile underground network, with little oversight from local authorities, as noted by ProPublica and City Cast Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority funded a 0.8-mile route in 2021 and approved plans for 104 stations, but public input was minimal.
The company has faced fines for environmental violations, including discharging untreated water and working without permits, according to state officials. Despite concerns, local officials see the Loop as a viable solution to traffic congestion, with limited scrutiny compared to public projects.
