The Boring Company’s Vegas Loop does not have an opening date. But if that does happen, CEO Elon Musk is planning a Fallout-themed opening party for the event, starting a new era of tourist transportation in Las Vegas.
Musk tweeted a photo of himself and his three children from the Vegas Loop’s loading dock under Sin City on Sunday afternoon. Musk stood with his three children and three Tesla Model 3 vehicles in a modern platform that will eventually be the waiting area for Vegas residents and tourists who want to move to another part of the city in record time. The Boring Company has been working on the Vegas project since 2019 and completed the two underground tunnels early last year.

In typical Musk fashion, the opening of the Vegas Loop will not be forgotten. After Musk and the Boring Company enthusiasts showed off the Tunnel Rave at the Vegas Loop project in early December, they had a taste of what lies ahead. However, the rave will not be the only unique event in the Vegas Loop, as Musk is planning a party theme for the tunnel’s first operational runs.
Fallout is a video game series that allows gamers to control characters in a series of post-apocalyptic role-playing games. Fallout, first released in 1997, is one of the most popular video games in recent history, with its most recent version released in 2018. Tesla has included a variant of the game called Fallout Shelter, in the 2020.20 software update in May 2020.
This is not the first time Musk has mentioned apocalyptic themes within any of his products’ products. In its electric car business, known as Tesla, Musk also cites the upcoming Cybertruck electric pickup as one of the more ideal vehicles in the event of world destruction. “We want to be a leader in apocalyptic technology,” Musk told Jay Leno in an episode of MSNBC’s Jay Leno’s garage.

The Cybertruck has been cited on several occasions in apocalyptic conversations by Musk, a reference that may explain the theme of the Boring Company Vegas Loop party. Although there is no timeline for the opening of the Vegas Loop, it is ready for use as both tunnels have been completed. Fully autonomous Tesla Model S, Model 3 and Model X vehicles will transport people from one stakeholder to another in times never seen before in the public transport sector. Had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic, the Vegas Loop would have already been in place, but social distancing measures required a careful and calculated execution of The Boring Company’s first public project.
