The LVCVA said it would conduct capacity tests for the loop ahead of World of Concrete, the convention center's first major trade show since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The almost $50 million loop connects the three different halls of the convention center via subterranean tunnels and Tesla vehicles that travel through them.

The loop is expected to be operational for World of Concrete, which runs from June 8-10
