Sahara Las Vegas opens Vegas Loop station as Boring Co. network expands north
2026-08-07
The Boring Company has opened a Vegas Loop station at Sahara Las Vegas, marking the network's northernmost Strip stop and giving the resort direct access to the underground transit system. Sahara becomes one of two hotels with both a Loop station and a Monorail station, while the company pushes ahead on a Paradise Road line targeting a November opening.
Sahara Las Vegas has become the northernmost Strip stop on The Boring Company's Vegas Loop with the opening of a new station at the resort. The station is at surface level on the east side of the property at the Paradise Road entrance, near the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue. It operates daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with extended hours during conventions.
Sahara is now one of only two hotels, along with Westgate, to offer both a Vegas Loop station and a dedicated Las Vegas Monorail station. The resort said the addition gives guests "two convenient public transportation options" for exploring the Strip and beyond. Riders can purchase tickets in advance online or scan a QR code at the station.
The station connects Sahara with the Las Vegas Convention Center, Harry Reid International Airport, other Strip resorts and additional destinations. The Boring Company owns and operates the point-to-point service using Tesla vehicles, with routes, fares and operating hours varying by day and event schedule. Rides within the convention center's footprint are free, while trips outside that area carry a fee. Sahara joins Resorts World, Fontainebleau, Westgate and Encore as resort properties with a Loop station, and five additional stops serve the convention center. Fontainebleau opened its Vegas Loop terminal in January.
Looking ahead, The Boring Company is working on a two-mile dual tunnel line beneath Paradise Road from Westgate to 4744 Paradise Road, north of Tropicana Avenue. LVCVA CEO Steve Hill previously said the segment could open in time for the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November. Planned stops along the route include Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, a Boring Company apartment complex and the former Gordon Biersch brewery site, which would partly service Sphere and the convention center.
At full build-out, the Vegas Loop is slated to include 104 stations served by 68 miles of tunnels, reaching most Strip properties, downtown Las Vegas, Allegiant Stadium, Chinatown and Harry Reid International Airport. Clark County aviation officials remain in talks with the company about a potential station at the airport. The Boring Company has secured its first permit to tunnel north of Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas, but downtown tunneling awaits additional permits. Separately, the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents approved a multimillion-dollar Loop station at UNLV in June.
