How to travel around the Las Vegas Tram system
The monorail system in Las Vegas is expensive and really inconvenient. It connects through the back of the hotels on the East side of the strip. Some of those hotels, like MGM, are huge and you have to walk through the entire hotel to get out. Other stations like Harrah’s are a little more conveniently placed, but overall I don’t feel like I’m saving walking–though you definitely save some heat.
But on the West side of the strip, there are a few trams that can help you get where you need to go.
Convenient for: Encore-Wynn-Venetian-Harrah’s
This tram picks up right in front of the check-in area of the Mirage and goes to the back of the Treasure Island hotel. TI, as they want you to call it, isn’t that deep so the back of the hotel isn’t that far from the front door.
Hours: Vegas.com lists them as 7 a.m. – 2 a.m., but the last two times I was there, it didn’t open until 9am.
It runs every few minutes.
This tram has a cool view of the Mirage’s vegetation.
Also convenient to: Tropicana and MGM
This one is strange in that the rides in each direction are different. From the Mandalay Bay, your tram will stop at Luxor and Excalibur. But on the way back, you’ll go straight from the Excalibur to the Mandalay Bay.
The walk from Mandalay Bay to the Luxor is nice (indoors and shopping!) so you may want to just walk it from then. But if you turn around, you can get right back on the tram to the Luxor.
Hours: According to Vegas.com it is 11 a.m. – 10:30 p.m.. This sounds about right for what I saw while there.
There’s a great view of some of the Luxor’s decorations from this tram. You get to see them in a way not possible from the ground, so I recommend checking it out once.
Also convenient to: Paris, Bally’s and the new casino they are building where Bill’s Gambling Saloon was (The Cromwell).
This one doesn’t have any fancy views, but it feels the fanciest of the trams. It’s also really fast and relatively not-crowded.
The City Center stop goes to Crystals, but it is so quick to get to the Aria and Cosmopolitan by cutting through different places that I think they count as a stop there too. For the Vdara, you just make a quick turn in the other direction out of the Bellagio stop.
Hours: 8am-4am, confirmed by a sign I just saw at the tram. It’s apparently just closed for a quick tune up each night.
No fancy views, but a great way to avoid some walking if your feet are hurting post clubbing. The other trams don’t stay up this late.
Vegas.com has a Las Vegas tram map that is out of date, but it is shocking how much the East side of the strip has changed in the last year as compared to the West side of the strip (which went through a huge change a few years ago).
The West side of this map is mostly up to date:
Star Casino Tram Stop
But for the best updated strip map, just check out Google Maps. So many online, including official ones are out of date.
A few Las Vegas casinos offer free connecting trams. This makes it easy to get from one casino to another. Take advantage of these Las Vegas trams whenever you can.
Riding one of these free Las Vegas trams surely beats walking or shelling out your hard earned money to pay for a taxi. The only catch for most of the free trams listed here is that they leave from one casino to a sister casino. However, if you know what Las Vegas attractions are close to these casinos, you can use the free Vegas tram to your advantage. Also if you plan to go to any of these casinos, then this is a nice way to get to them.

For on-board power supply, used for lighting, etc., the trains collect power from the 480 volt power rails running along side the tracks.

The Excalibur station is at the front of the property. If you walk on the street overpasses from MGM Grand, or New York, New York, there's no need to even enter the Excalibur casino. Follow the signs that lead right up to the Excalibur station.
