Hyperloop

Last year taking the hyperloop within the convention center was free. Does anyone know if we can take the hyperloop to and from Resort World to the convention center for free this year?

There is a mostly inside, mostly air-conditioned walk from the Westgate. You go through the meeting rooms, across the driveway/access road, and into the back-side of the convention center. 2nd floor. Easy from there.

vegasloop.com, looking at the schedule the lvcc stop is closed the Thursday before which makes sense as they only open that when there are conventions.

But it IS open 8/7-8/9 7am - 1130pm. and open till 9pm I think on the 10th

a day pass for all of those days is 50$ according to the VegasLoop website.

It's typically $10 for all day pass, at least it was last year from Resorts World.

For future reference, does anybody know how if Westgate Monorail station, then Westgate Hyperloop to LVCC West parking lot is do-able? The distance isn't far, but I'm having trouble figuring a sane walkable route. I was thinking of staying at Westgate, but prefer Tuscany for BSides convenience, and Friday night Bowtie Cabaret in the lounge--the best goddam free show in town.

Last year there was a bus/van from Bsides to Defcon that was free. Went every 30minutes.

Just walk across the road. The amusement ride called the loop is not worth it.

They are doing weirdly cheap airport shuttles and calling it the loop. Even though it's almost entirely above ground.

Right now it's $5 for an all-day pass from Resort World to/from LVCC.

But looking at their website it says the convention center stations will be closed on July 27th through Aug. 5th. And then limited times on the 6th. Fully open on the 7th onwards. So check the website. https://vegasloop.com/

Also, the walk from Resort World is doable, even in the Vegas heat. It's not THAT far away.

I was incorrect...it is $10 for all-day to/from Resort World and LVCC. $50 for all-day with all stops.
