The Boring Company’s Vegas Loop has no opening date. But when that happens, CEO Elon Musk has a Fallout-themed opening party planned for the event, ushering in a new era of tourist transport in Las Vegas.
Musk tweeted a picture of him and his three children on Sunday afternoon from the Vegas Loop loading dock below the city of sin. Musk, along with his three children and three Tesla Model 3 vehicles, was on a modern platform that will end up being the waiting area for Las Vegas residents and tourists who are trying to move to another part of the city in record time. The Boring Company has been working on the Vegas project since 2019, completing the two underground tunnels early last year.

In typical Musk style, the grand opening of the Vegas Loop will not be forgotten. After showing the Tunnel Rave on the Vegas Loop project in early December, Musk and Boring Company enthusiasts had a preview of what’s to come. However, the rave will not be the only unique event at the Vegas Loop because Musk plans a Fallout themed party for the tunnel’s first operational operations.
Fallout is a video game series that allows players to control characters in a series of post-apocalyptic role-playing games. First released in 1997, Fallout is one of the most popular video game series in recent history, with its most recent version being released in 2018. Tesla included a variant of the game, called Fallout Shelter, in the 2020.20 Software Update in May 2020.
It is not the first time that Musk mentions apocalyptic themes in any of his company’s products. In his electric car venture known as Tesla, Musk also cited the upcoming Cybertruck all-electric pickup as one of the most ideal vehicles in the event of the world’s destruction. “We want to be a leader in apocalypse technology,” Musk told Jay Leno in an episode of MSNBC’s Jay Leno garage.

Cybertruck was mentioned in apocalyptic conversations on several occasions by Musk, a reference that could explain the theme of the upcoming Boring Company Vegas Loop party. Although there is no timetable for opening the Vegas Loop, it is ready for operation when both tunnels are completed. The fully autonomous Tesla Model S, Model 3 and Model X vehicles will transport people from one point of interest to another in times never seen before in the public transport sector. Were it not for the pandemic COVID-19, the Vegas Loop would already be operational, but the social distance measures required a cautious and calculated execution of The Boring Company’s first public project.
