Navigate the Las Vegas Strip with the help of three monorails that run between Sahara and the MGM Grand, Treasure Island and the Mirage, and Excalibur and Mandalay Bay (with a stop at the Luxor).

The Mirage-Treasure Island tram runs between 9 a.m. and midnight. The tram arrives every 15 minutes at its slowest. The ride lasts about 4 minutes; add another 3-4 minutes on either end for the inefficient disembarking procedure. The Mirage stop of this monorail is outside but well shaded. At Treasure Island, passengers wait indoors. No smoking, food, or uncovered beverages are allowed on board. The ride is slow but smooth. Seating is bus-style, with long benches and a little standing room.

The Las Vegas Monorail runs from the MGM Grand to the Sahara hotel. The route has seven stations as follows: MGM Grand; Bally's / Paris; Flamingo; Harrah's / Imperial Palace; Las Vegas Convention Center; Las Vegas Hilton; and the Sahara. The monorail is open Monday through Thursday from  7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. Rates for the monorail are $5 for one ride, $9 for two rides (shareable), $35 for 10 rides (shareable) and $15 for an unlimited one-day pass and $40 for an unlimited three-day pass.

This monorail's route varies based on what hotel you start at. If you start at the Excalibur main station, the monorail will take you directly to Mandalay Bay—about a 3-minute trip. If you start from Mandalay Bay, you will stop at the Luxor and then the Excalibur—about a 7-minute trip. It is in operation 24 hours per day; trains leave every 3 to 7 minutes.

All waiting areas are indoors except at the Luxor, but some walking is required to make the loop (there are stairs as well as an elevator to access the tram stop). Fortunately, everything is well air-conditioned. Even a holiday weekend crowd can be accommodated once the initial rush for a seat dies down.

Although it's a little more complicated to make this loop, the profusion of stations has some advantages: The Main Station is convenient to a free pull on a slot machine with a $5,000 payoff (though it gives out many more free show tickets), and the Luxor's is the only monorail stop with music for waiting passengers.

Amtrak also offers passenger service, but not directly into Vegas. There is a connecting bus from one of their feeder cities.
