Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has won approval to build a 29-mile tunnel system underneath the Las Vegas strip.
It will allow up to 57,000 passengers to hitch rides in Teslas to and from casinos every hour, as well as to the city's airport and the Raiders football stadium.
The SpaceX founder's Boring Company already operates a smaller version of the 'Vegas Loop' system underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center, which opened earlier this year to lackluster reviews.
Instead of futuristic cars zipping people from place to place at high speeds, it features regular Tesla vehicles being driven by humans trundling through a tunnel at just 35mph.
However, a huge city-wide expansion of the tunnels, which was proposed by The Boring Company in December last year, has now been approved by Vegas officials.

It will feature 51 stations along the 29-mile network, each of which will need separate permits to be approved before they are developed.
The Boring Company will also have to get a separate franchise agreement approved by the city of Las Vegas before work can begin.
Boring President Steve Davis said the system would be built in phases, with five to 10 stations opening within the first six months of construction.
Between 15 to 20 stations will then be added each year until it is finished, he added.
Once built, Musk's firm expects a five-mile trip from the airport to the convention center to take about five minutes and cost $10 (£7.25), while a 3.6-mile ride from the center to Raiders' Allegiant Stadium would take four minutes and cost $6 (£4.35).
Unlike the London Underground, for example, the Vegas Loop will be a point-to-point system, so passengers won't have to stop at each station along the way.
Instead, they can be picked up and transported directly to where they want to go without having to stop at each resort along the way.
'The most important thing is the express nature of this,' Davis told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
'In Las Vegas you have a very populated, very impressive resort or property and you have 51 stations that's being proposed here and (if) you have to stop at every one, that’s a very, very long trip.
'If you can get in a vehicle and not wait for the vehicle, walk into a station and the vehicle is waiting for you. And go directly to your (destination) station, you can really solve the traffic problem.'
No taxpayer money will be spent on the loop system, Clark County officials said.
The Boring Company has previously said it will cover the cost of building the tunnels, but wants hotel casinos to pay for the construction of stations.
While it has not revealed how much the latest installment of the project will cost, The
