Tesla driver tries out the Vegas Loop and shares his honest opinion on how well it works

A Tesla driver who lives in Las Vegas decided to test the Vegas Loop for himself to see if it is actually useful or just another flashy idea.

The underground system has existed for several years now, quietly moving people beneath the Strip and the convention center.

It is not a subway, not a hyperloop, and not autonomous yet.

But after riding it multiple times, including during major events, his conclusion was clear.

Tesla driver tries out the Vegas Loop

The first thing that stood out to Vegas Tesla Carmen was how simple and fast the process felt.

Riders scan a QR code, buy a ticket on their phone, and step straight into a waiting Tesla EV.

There are no gates, no security lines, and no platforms filled with crowds – Teslas pull in, passengers get out, new riders get in, and the vehicle is gone again within seconds.

On a normal day, there is little to no waiting at all and even during CES, one of the busiest weeks of the year in Las Vegas, the wait was only around two to three minutes.

Above ground, buses were packed and crawling through traffic on the strip, but underground, the Loop kept moving efficiently, which made the contrast impossible to ignore.

The rides themselves feel fast, not because the cars are speeding, but because there is nothing slowing them down.

No traffic lights, no pedestrians, no unexpected stops, and it makes distances that feel painfully slow on the Strip suddenly seem short when traveled underground.

Honest opinion on how well it works

The biggest advantage of the Vegas Loop is that it is fully point-to-point, because riders are not stopping at every station or waiting for other passengers along the way.

You get in, go directly to your destination, and get out.

That makes it especially useful for moving around the massive Las Vegas Convention Center, where walking from one hall to another can take a surprising amount of time.

There are downsides: each Tesla only fits four or five people, which limits how many passengers can be moved at once.

This is very different from a traditional subway that can carry hundreds, while there has been talk of larger vehicles in the future, nothing like that is operating yet.

For now, the system feels proven at a small scale, but the real test will come as more stations open and the network expands across the city.

If it can stay this efficient with dozens of stops, the Vegas Loop may end up being one of the fastest ways to get around one of the most congested areas in the world.
