The Vegas Loop Opens Its Paradise Road Tunnels

About two miles of twin tunnels under Paradise Road open stations at Virgin Hotels, the old Gordon Biersch site behind Sphere and 4744 Paradise by UNLV, the hub for Loop rides to Harry Reid airport, ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The just over 2-mile section of twin tunnels under Paradise Road between Westgate and a station at 4744 Paradise Road is set to open in stages, 'almost certainly in October', LVCVA chief Steve Hill said in September 2026^[1].
Hill expects both Paradise tunnels open before the Las Vegas Grand Prix on 19-21 November^[1]; the Boring Company hopes to finish before the race but says schedules could shift^[3].
The opening adds stations at 4744 Paradise, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and the former Gordon Biersch site behind Sphere, which will serve the race's fan zones^[1].
4744 Paradise becomes the hub for rides to Harry Reid International Airport while the Boring Company works with the county on stations inside the airport^[1].
The system runs 14 stations and plans 28 by the end of 2026; Clark County approved 19 more stations in August^[1][2].

Notable features

Seven of the stations due this year sit on the Paradise section, including the Renaissance Hotel, Hyatt Place, Stirling Club and the Collective^[1].
The full system is approved for 68 miles of tunnel and 123 stations^[2].
