Privately-built sub-grade transit operating in Las Vegas. LVCC Loop opened June 2021 (3 stations, 1.7 miles). Extended 2024 to 5 stations / 2.1 miles. Resort Loop expansions: Resorts World Connector (2022), Westgate Connector (2024), Encore Connector (2025). Total operational: 4.54 miles as of March 2026.
Master Plan: 68 miles / 104 stations / target 90,000 passengers/hour, approved by Clark County Commission and City of Las Vegas. January 2026: City issued first downtown-corridor permit (Fremont Street / Stratosphere). Empirical operations: 25,000-27,000 daily during 2021-22 SEMA shows; 82,000 over 5 days during March 2026 CONEXPO; peak hourly throughput 4,400-6,500.
Regulatory Mechanism: tunnels classified as private 'people-movers' on private casino land (NOT federally-regulated mass public transit) bypasses NEPA — the legal mechanism that stalled Chicago O'Hare Express, LA Sepulveda, and Maryland-DC Loop. The 68-mile master plan exceeds the Yucca Mountain Exploratory Studies Facility by linear measure — H4 CONFIRMED.
