Vegas Loop opens latest resort station at Westgate

Westgate Las Vegas has become the only resort to have both a monorail stop and a Vegas Loop station following the underground transportation system's latest expansion. The new loop station, which connects Westgate and the Las Vegas Convention Center, opened to the public on Saturday.

The underground transportation system relies on a fleet of five-seater Teslas rather than traditional trains or rail cars. The latest approved expansion of the Vegas Loop includes plans for a vast network spanning 68 miles with 104 stations, aiming to enhance connectivity across Las Vegas. 

A milestone in the system’s expansion is the recent addition of the Westgate station. The new station is located above ground on the northwest portion of the resort, between the property’s valet and self-parking garage.

Westgate will mark the second Vegas Loop station opened outside of the convention center, where the underground people-mover has been in operation since 2021, moving conventiongoers between three stations at the facility’s campus.

Resorts World became the first property to link to the Boring Company’s transportation system outside of the convention center in 2022. A fourth station at the convention center, named the Riviera Station, opened last year.

Westgate President Cami Christensen stated: “The monorail just celebrated its 20th anniversary, and today we’re opening up the Vegas Loop, and I thought pretty cool place to be right now."

“The opening of the Boring Company’s Westgate Loop Station is an important moment for Las Vegas,” said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “This station will provide quick and convenient access between The Westgate and the Las Vegas Convention Center and will eventually connect to stations spanning the city.”

Tunneling is also underway to the Encore and between a station located on Paradise Road near UNLV’s Thomas &Mack Center to the Silver Lot at the convention center, in a line dubbed the University Center Loop.
