Overview
- Sahara Las Vegas opened a Vegas Loop station at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue on Thursday, giving the system its northernmost stop on the Strip.
- The new station sits at surface level at Sahara’s Paradise Road entrance and will operate from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with hours that can be extended for conventions.
- The Boring Company has a permit to tunnel north of Sahara Avenue but still lacks the permissions needed to push tunnels toward downtown, and crews are actively excavating a two-mile dual tunnel under Paradise aimed at serving the November Las Vegas Grand Prix.
- Work on the airport connector has slipped past its original first-quarter target and remains under construction with a full opening still several months away, according to company officials.
- The Loop has recorded growing use—more than four million rides through 11 open stations and event spikes such as about 82,000 riders at CONEXPO—and the street-level design at Sahara follows a trend that can change where visitors choose to book and how convention traffic moves around the Strip.
