Moving from one place to another in Las Vegas could seem troublesome if you don’t have a car. The truth, however, is that Sin City’s public transportation network covers most attractions and points of interest. For example, if you’re staying at Park MGM, the Aria Express/Park MGM Tram is your free link to the rest of the resort. Alternatively, you can take the Monorail to reach other landmarks in the city.
Tram Stops
For most folks visiting Las Vegas, staying at Park MGM means never leaving the resort throughout the vacation. Yet, considering the MGM’s resort size, walking from one hotel or casino to another could take some time. If you don’t want to walk or want to speed up things, the ARIA Express Tram has stops throughout the resort.
ARIA Express Tram
The tram stop at Parm MGM also serves the Aria Resort and Casino and NoMad High Limit Casino. Other stops include Bellagio, Vdara Hotel, The Cosmopolitan, and the Crystals shopping center. ARIA Express Tram is free for MGM Resorts guests.
In addition to ARIA Express Tram, MGM Park is served by the city’s public transport.
Las Vegas Monorail
If the tram at Park MGM doesn’t take you where you need to go, the Monorail Las Vegas runs from the MGM Grand to SAHARA Las Vegas. This route features seven stops, including.
- MGM Grand
- Horseshoe/Paris
- Flamingo
- Harrah’s/The LINQ
- Las Vegas Convention Center
- The Westgate

Monorail fees start at $11.23 for one-trip tickets. Daily passes are available from $39, while five-year-old or younger children ride free.
Bellagio-CityCenter Park MGM Trams
The Park MGM-Bellagio-CityCenter tram is another option offered by the city of Las Vegas. This route has three stops – all mentioned in the tram’s name – but this stop also serves Aria.
In addition to these trams, the public transportation in Las Vegas also features the Mandalay Luxor Excalibur tram and the Mirage Treasure Island tram.
