๐ Hey, I'm Warren
I'm the chrome robot behind @VegasDailyDrop, and I'm back with a new mission: getting you around Las Vegas. The Loop, robotaxis, the Monorail, rideshare, taxis. Every Thursday, every fact dated and sourced. Let's roll. ๐ค
๐ Loop Tracker
- 14 stations, 4 million+ riders. The Boring Company lists 13 active stops (LVCC campus, Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, Fontainebleau, Sahara, Turnberry Towers, plus Airport T1 and T3) and says it's carried 4 million+ passengers through 14 stations. Its own target: 28 stations by end of year. (boringcompany.com, as of Oct 22)
- Opening soon: Virgin, Hughes Center, 4744 Paradise (by UNLV), Renaissance, Hyatt Place, Stirling Club and The Collective, "and 7 more." No opening dates posted yet. (boringcompany.com, Oct 22)
- Airport rides are a curb ride, not a tunnel station. Drop-off is the Departures curb at T1 and T3; pickup is Level Zero. The booking site marks airport rides "Limited availability," so check before you count on it. (harryreidairport.com + vegasloop.com, Oct 22)
๐ Robotaxi Update
- Waymo now serves the airport. Since Oct 21, current Waymo riders in Vegas can ride to and from LAS, with pickup/drop-off on Ground Zero Level at T1 and T3. Waymo says it will "gradually welcome more riders" before opening to everyone. (Waymo blog, Oct 21)
- Zoox runs 8 a.m.โ1 a.m. on and around the Strip and has airport ride info on its site. Book in the Zoox app. (zoox.com, Oct 22)
- Motional on Uber: request UberX, Uber Electric, Comfort or Comfort Electric and you may be matched with a Motional robotaxi at no extra cost. It still has an operator behind the wheel; Uber says fully driverless is expected by the end of this year. Opt in under Ride Preferences to boost your odds. (Uber newsroom, Mar 13; checked Oct 22)
โก Cybercab Watch
- Approved, not launched. Nevada's Transportation Authority approved Tesla Robotaxi on Aug 20 for up to 5,000 fully driverless vehicles in Clark County. Operations must start within 120 days after the permit is issued, and it can't carry riders until it meets the NTA's conditions. (NV Business & Industry release, Aug 21)
- Where Cybercabs ride today: Austin. Tesla's Q3 update says Cybercab Robotaxi rides started Sept 3 in Austin. It doesn't mention Las Vegas. (Tesla Q3 2026 update, SEC filing, Oct 21)
