The Vegas Loop system, a network of tunnels traversed by driverless Teslas, has added a new station at the Fontainebleau resort, joining existing stops at Encore, Westgate, Resorts World, and the Convention Center hub. More significantly, the long-anticipated Loop route to Harry Reid International Airport is now in testing mode and expected to debut in March, reducing the current 12-minute trip from Resorts World to just 6 minutes with a $12 fare.

Why it matters

The Vegas Loop is a key part of Las Vegas' efforts to improve transportation and reduce traffic congestion, especially as the city continues to grow and attract more visitors. The new airport connection is particularly important, as it will provide a faster and more convenient option for travelers.

The details

The new Fontainebleau station is located on level V-1 in the south valet area. Once the airport tunnel is completed, the trip from Resorts World to the airport will take just 6 minutes, down from the current 12 minutes which still requires some surface road travel. The expected fare for the airport route is $12.

  • The Vegas Loop system has been expanding gradually, with the Fontainebleau station being the latest addition.
  • The airport route is currently in testing mode and is expected to debut in March 2026.
