Mandalay Bay-Excalibur Tram
THIS MONORAIL IS FREE!! 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-minutes trip. If you start from Mandalay Bay, you will stop at the Luxor and then the Excalibur - about a 7-minutes trip. It is in operation daily from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and trains leave every 3-7 minutes.
All waiting areas are indoor except the Luxor's, 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. Small platforms and a lack of any attendants at the Mandalay Bay end mean you may have to scramble to a car when traffic is heavy, but even a holiday weekend crowd can be accommodated once the initial rush for a seat dies down.

Mirage-Treasure Island Tram
Treasure Island-Mirage Tram THIS TRAM IS FREE!
Mirage-Treasure Island Tram
The Mirage-Treasure Island tram runs between 9 a.m. - 1 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. - 3 a.m., Friday through Saturday. The tram arrives just about every 15 minutes and the ride lasts about two to four minutes.
The Mirage stop of this monorail is outside but well shaded with a misting system, and located just to the left of the hotel's front entrance. At Treasure Island, passengers wait indoors in a corridor located near the entrance to the parking garage. Those waiting for the tram stand behind automatic gates. Because the automatic gates tend to open almost as soon as the tram arrives, it is best to allow everyone on the tram a chance to disembark first before getting on.The waiting areas, as well as the tram itself, have televisions playing ads that feature TI and Mirage shows and attractions.
The track is set back from the Strip and the ride is smooth, passing palm trees and vegetation. It also offers a nice aerial view of the TI pool on the west side. Seating is bus-style, with long benches and some standing room.
