- Mandalay Bay Tram: Free service connecting Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur.
- ARIA Express Tram: Free service connecting ARIA/Vdara, The Shops at Crystals, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan and Park MGM areas.
- Hard Rock / Treasure Island Tram: Closed. Do not rely on it for current transportation planning.
Free-tram operating hours can differ from Monorail hours and can change, so check the participating resort’s current transportation information before relying on a tram late at night.

Las Vegas Monorail Tips
- Buy online if you want the discounted eTicket price.
- Stations are generally behind the resorts on the east side of the Strip, so allow walking time between Las Vegas Boulevard and the station entrance.
- Use an unlimited pass if you expect to make several rides during the same day or trip.
- Check closing time before a late-night return trip because Monday closes earlier than the rest of the week.
- The Monorail does not serve Harry Reid International Airport or Downtown Las Vegas directly.
