Watch Teslas slowly move through Elon Musk’s new Boring Company tunnel under Las Vegas

The Boring Company's Las Vegas tunnel system is nearly up and running, and initial videos of the network in action hit the web on Thursday. 

Elon Musk's tunneling firm invited members of the media to check out the 1.7-mile-long loop that runs beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center ahead of its debut this summer. And clips from the event show that the underground transportation network functions essentially as the billionaire described: "basically just Teslas in tunnels at this point."

Videos shared online show a parade of slow-moving Teslas dipping in and out of tunnels and driving around stations. The system is illuminated up by color-changing lights, making the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop look equal parts transit network and night club.

The LVCC Loop has three stops that span the convention center's sprawling 200-acre campus. The people-mover “” serviced by Teslas that customers can hail through an app “” cuts a 45-minute walk across the convention center to a roughly two-minute ride, according to The Boring Company. The Teslas will travel at up to 35 mph, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports. 

Despite Musk's claim that the loop is "way more profound than it sounds," the system may not live up to all the hype.
