thanks you guys. i like the sound of the boring company expanding. bummed about the monorail, but i get it. now that circa is open i think they should get rid of that end of slotzilla. maybe just keep the shorter zipline. it would be nice to see that end opened up a bit.
This is also the reason why they stopped working on the above ground train line to los Angeles. They will have a tunnel instead . VEGAS TO LA
In 20 minutes…
I can't believe the Fremont Street Experience is 25 years old! (I also can't believe I turned 50 a week ago… D'oh!!) At any rate, just thought I'd add that Virginia St. in downtown Reno had that old Fremont feel for sure up until about 1998ish when Herald's Club and Nevada Club were demolished and many others started closing. Don't get me wrong… The redevelopment with the new riverfront walk is beautiful.
Where did the TWA -VEGAS poster come from…One of my favourite combos and have been looking for something similar…if it is a prink is there any chance you can provide a link or info…TIA
They couldn't build the Monorail across the street to the airport for 20 years, because of opposition from the taxi cab union and taxi companies.
The taxi cab union is still there, so will the Clark County Comm show some backbone and allow the hole in the ground to be built to the airport?
I think the CCC will once again hide under their desks terrified of the taxi union bosses.
Hi miles to memory shot out to you Excellent vlog I hope to go to Reno and Alantlic city one day I remember being down town Vegas in 1995 I was 17 then and a lot of controcstun was going on I love Vegas I been there 3 times 1989 I was 11 1995 I was 17 and 1998 I was 20 I plan to come next year October 31 I haven't been since 1998 I was 20 then I plan to spend one night at Aria and three nights at Cranwell I might come that Saturday and Stay one night at the D or Circus circus I love that place and Slots a fun can't wait to get back to Las Vegas I been so young never been old enough to gamble ill be 43 big ones in January 28 you are the best Miles to Mem
Why not just put a subway system in?
The discussion went from Bruno Mars to strip clubs. LOL
I remember driving down Freemont..I've been there every year since the Experience was built as well. Yes, I'm that old …save it. Lol
Hey Shawn and Mark. Very informative video, thanks! And Shawn- super duper photo of the new Convention frontage against the night sky- really highlights the building.
Keep up the good work you two.
Steve
I loved my Tesla Las Vegas ride lol
Love these videos. 5 stars
The line from the airport to the Strip to Downtown is a good idea.
Diamonds Are Forever. 1971 James Bond. Great car chase through downtown Las Vegas!
Ugh. Boring gray cars driving through a boring gray tunnel. 'yawn' If I was in charge, I would have recreated the retro-sci-fi "Johnny Cabs" from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Total Recall, complete with the creepy mannequin driver wise-cracking the passengers as they are driven to their destination. Who wouldn't want to ride in that?
Shawn, Saw you show and enjoyed the content. Glad to see you in the public eye and hope you do well. Have a merry Christmas with you familly.
Please can someone do the math of how many people can be moved per hour in these tunnels? Novel concept, but 12 to 14 people be unit? How many units to move 60,000 people from Alegiant, over 4,000 shuttle cars in an hour!!!
the catch is that they'll need to pay Scores that million dollars all in $1 dollar bills – yikes
UH not going to Las Vegas!!!!!
I can't imagine how these tunnels could possibly work. The monorail didn't work. How can this? I hope I'm wrong.
Love using a monorail! I hope they do not get rid of it. The Tesla tunnel system to me sounds like it will not work.
Vegas is about to be the global pioneer for the Loop system, which will lead into the advent of Hyperloop, which could both potentially change the way the world travels.
Hi Shawn and Mark! Great info as usual. Don't think I am going to try out the Tesla Tunnels for at least the first year that they are open. They are going to need to work out the hiccups BEFORE I get in one! 😉 I am an old school Vegas lover who remembers driving downtown Freemont at night. Nothing else like it! Vegas Vick use to have his arm waving, and you really always remember that no matter how old you get! I am also a 007 fan, and love the car chase scene in Diamonds are Forever on Freemont.
Priceless. CAB 😊
Here's an idea I've floated around since we're into big construction projects ! Why not 'green up' the Mojave…build a desalination plant or two anticipating the drying up of the Colorado ….cut right through to the Pacific (make Vegas an ocean port) … create vast swabs of new real estate (beaches) on the newly created Vegas waterway…give Vegas a competitive edge over Macau (take back some of the action)………when the Egyptians built the Pyramids they thought big as did we when we built the Panama Canal, Hoover Dam etc . We've had a Builder in the White House, and what did we build ? Remember, the President is no stranger to Casinos, he owned Trump Marina, the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza
I try to have interest in the tunnel company, but it's just so…Boring.😆 Sorry, the pun was too easy. I'll bet Elon Musk thought of that too.😆
The vehicles with driver and driverless cars are what I want
In an effort to get rid of the corona virus, The Las Vegas city council voted today in a unanimous vote to sacrifice a couple of virgins on the Mirage Volcano , But after an exhaustive search, They were unable to find a virgin.
Las Vegas, is better above ground. At least, you enjoy the beauty. Why go underground in Earthquake country, where there are no views. It's BORING…😡
When Vegas gets 1 inch of rain, what keeps the tunnels from flooding?
Boring Tunnel: Imagine elevators on wheels. It'll be efficient, fast and amazing.
I remember before the canopy, it was great but scary. Their were many dives and drunks. One time I saw a man run out of the Fremont with chips dropping from his arms and guards running after him. Well minutes later that guy was being escorted back. I told a guy next to me, WOW those cops are good to bad the guy is going to jail…the guy next to me laughed and said he is not going to jail, that are the casino guards, their going to take him down stairs and ruff him up before calling metro. Mob justice 😎
