What is the Loop, in one screen?

The Vegas Loop is The Boring Company's tunnel system under the north Strip and the convention district: you ride in a Tesla, nonstop, station to station, per the operator at vegasloop.com. The operating stations are the LVCC campus stations (West, Riviera, Central Underground, Central Plaza and South), plus Resorts World, Westgate, Encore, Fontainebleau, SAHARA and Harry Reid International Airport Terminals 1 and 3. Two facts decide whether the Loop helps your trip. First, rides between the LVCC campus stations are free, and the operator puts the cross campus walk it replaces at 45 minutes against about 2 minutes by car, with convention badges sometimes checked. Second, every other ride is priced per person, not per car, and everyone over age 2 needs a ticket. A family of four therefore pays four fares, which is where the taxi math in our LAS transport guide can beat it. Our getting around Las Vegas guide owns Strip transport generally; this page owns the Loop itself.

The airport service is real but partial, and the page says so plainly because visitors plan flights around it. It has run since late December 2025 as a mixed mode trip, tunnels then surface streets to the terminals, while the fully underground Airport Connector is built. Destinations from the airport are limited to Fontainebleau, Resorts World, SAHARA, Westgate and the LVCC, while rides to the airport run from all stations. Airport hours are narrower than the resort stations. If your hotel is not on that short list, the Loop is not your airport ride, and the zone fare taxis and rideshares in the transport guide are the honest comparison.

What happens in F1 race week?

Race week is when the Loop earns its keep, and when its one closure matters most. Per the operator hours calendar checked November 3, 2026: from Wednesday November 18 to Saturday November 21, 2026, most stations run 24 hours, while the Encore station is closed from November 18 to 22. The open stations are all north of the track plus the airport, and Westgate and LVCC Boingo are the Loop to Monorail interchanges. Plan a north Strip hotel around Resorts World, Westgate, Fontainebleau or SAHARA that week, not around Encore, if the Loop is your race transport. Our F1 road closures guide and the watching F1 without a grandstand ticket guide carry the rest of the week. This race week box comes off this page after November 22, 2026, when the calendar returns to its normal day by day pattern.

Loop, Monorail or rideshare for your trip?

For a convention campus day, the Loop wins outright: free between campus stations, and about 2 minutes against a 45 minute walk, per the operator. Convention visitors should also read our convention attendee guide. For a north Strip hop between a listed resort and the Convention Center, the Loop at $4.75 per person beats a rideshare for one or two people and loses for a full car, because the fare is per head. For the airport, the Loop wins for a solo traveler to a listed station at $12 to $14 and loses for groups against a flat zone taxi. For anywhere south of Sands Avenue, the Loop does not go there at all: the Monorail and the Deuce own that ground. The honest summary is that the Loop is the best transport in Las Vegas inside its small map and no transport at all outside it, so check your hotel against the station list before you build a plan on it.
