Elon Musk’s Las Vegas tunnels, not to be confused with his Texas tunnels, have reached another important milestone: a glowing review from the @VitalVegas Twitter account. A new Boring Company tube that will eventually transport people in Teslas from the convention center to Resorts World is now complete, reports the outlet. For now, though, there’s a catch: “Cars will go one way or the other, waiting for the tunnel to clear before drivers can go in the opposite direction.”

The final Resorts World plan calls for a loop that will begin and end at the convention-center station, but so far, with only one-third of the project completed, it remains a one-way tunnel for two-way traffic. The good news is that the new tunnel extends only a few blocks underneath Las Vegas Boulevard from one parking lot to another, so if the wait is too long, people have the option to call a cab or rent a scooter — or even use the two-way sidewalk.
