The Mirage-Treasure Island Tram is a 1,000-foot-long (300 m) people mover connecting the adjacent Las Vegas Strip casinos The Mirage and Treasure Island.[2] The tram takes about 90 seconds to go from one end to the other, and is free to ride.[3]
The tram opened in 1993 along with the opening of the Treasure Island casino.[4] At the time both Treasure Island and The Mirage were owned by Mirage Resorts.
Caesars Palace would not permit the tram to cross its property.[5] The tram runs from the front of the Mirage to the rear of Treasure Island.[6]
The tram consists of a single elevated track, with a single 2-car train running back and forth between the two stations. It uses rubber tyres and is cable hauled.[7] It operates as a fully automated guideway system.[8] The train has a total capacity of 120 passengers. One-way capacity is 1,800 passengers/hour.
The tram was built by VSL and Lift Engineering of Carson City.[1] In 2020 it was extensively overhauled by Jakes associates.[9]
