Fontainebleau is the latest Strip resort to add a Boring Co. Vegas Loop station, with free rides offered at launch.
The loop station is located on level V-1 of Fontainebleau’s south service, with free rides offered to the four Las Vegas Convention Center stations and to Encore and Westgate, Fontainebleau announced Monday. Fontainebleau’s station connects to the convention center’s Riviera Station in the northwest parking lot of West Hall and then connects to the rest of the point-to-point system.
In December, Boring Co. started tours to and from Harry Reid International Airport, which includes some above ground. Boring Co. was given the option for on-street trips linked to loop rides last year by the Nevada Transportation Authority. Air travel to the Vegas Loop is limited to no more than 4 miles of travel on the street, with a portion of the trip required to include tunnel travel.
The Vegas loop has already dug over 10 miles of tunnels, with 4 miles already in use.
Boring Co. President Steve Davis told the Review-Journal this month that he expects the under-construction University Center Loop portion to open sometime in the first quarter of this year. That line will allow loop rides to travel under Paradise Road between the convention center and Reid Airport, with a planned station just north of the Tropicana Avenue intersection.
In addition to offering free loop rides, Fontainebleau also extended free parking for locals and Fontainebleau Rewards members, now through May 31. The resort has also continued its valet validation program, allowing all guests who dine, dine, shop or spend time at Lapis Spa & Wellness to validate their valet.
