The Mandalay Bay Tram is a 2,749-foot-long (838 m) people mover that opened on April 9, 1999 on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It was constructed to connect three gaming hotels belonging to the MGM Mirage Group.[3] The line carries passengers from the major Tropicana – Las Vegas Boulevard intersection, via the Excalibur Hotel and Casino and Luxor Hotel to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino at the southern end.

The dual-track system is cable-driven and free for the public to use. The western track has intermediate station stops. The eastern track only has stops at either end of the line – Mandalay Bay and Excalibur. If only one train is running, it is the western track and it runs express to Mandalay Bay going south, but makes all stops returning north. During peak periods when both trains are running, the western track will stop at all stations along its track, while the eastern track provides express service.
