The head of Elon Musk’s tunneling company said he expects a deal to build an underground transit system through the Las Vegas resort corridor to already be “teed up,” should the current tunnel project beneath the city’s convention center prove a success.

The Boring Co. (TBC) President Steve Davis told a business group in Las Vegas on Jan. 9 that the company must first complete the Las Vegas Convention Center project on schedule by the end of the year. It also needs to deliver, he said, on the promise of using Teslas to move 4,400 people per hour with what the company calls its Loop system.

Then, he said, tourism industry stakeholders will be ready to consummate ongoing talks about expanding the system from the airport to the Strip and into downtown. “We’re always in discussion with everyone who might be interested,” he told the Nevada chapter of the American Public Works Association.

“We’ll have lots of talks … and if it goes well, everything’s teed up.”

The company began work in November on the $52.5-million project, which will link the existing Las Vegas Convention Center complex with the under-construction, 1.4-million-sq-ft West Hall.

戴维斯（Davis）指出，最近在会议中心举行的最近的消费电子节目，以说明隧道如何增加旅行能力而不会破坏表面活动。
“We were tunneling under the main hall of the convention center,” he said, “and nobody had any idea we were there.”

完成后，TBC的项目将沿着特斯拉轿车和16个乘客汽车在X Model X底盘上建造的两个近一英里长的单向隧道沿着两条近一英里长的单向隧道移动。

戴维斯说，该公司关注会议中心的工作，“不是一个一次性项目，而是许多项目中的第一个项目。18luck官网实际上，我们非常不耐烦，渴望迅速扩展。坦率地说，我们的重点就在这里。”

The convention center job, with its short timetable and clear deliverables, offers a highly visible test on which the company’s future hinges, Davis says.

“我们将在会议中心建立循环，这将发生两件事之一。每个人都会讨厌它，我们会倒闭 - 选择第二，每个人都喜欢它，我们扩展。”

“So where do you expand? There are some very obvious places to expand," he said.

Davis said if the Boring Co.’s footprint grows in Las Vegas, he expects Southern Nevada to become a research hub for the company.

“I have a feeling that at some point we end up here with some huge swath of land in the desert, testing boring machines. Down Las Vegas Boulevard is super obvious. North into the city of Las Vegas, into the airport,” he said.

Davis said Musk, who founded the Boring Co. in 2016, wants to bring to tunneling the efficiencies of standardization and technology he has applied to Tesla, the Gigafactory and SpaceX, where Davis was once an executive. He said the Boring Co. has a moonshot goal of being able to tunnel a mile a day, but “right now it’s like a mile every six weeks.”
