The tram does not run 24 hours a day, but is operational 20 hours every day and runs from 8am through to 4am. It was, however, shut down to give way to the construction of the Aria Resort and Casino. Before the Aria Express, there was a tram that operated between what is now the Park MGM and the Bellagio. As one of the free Las Vegas Strip trams, it is a must-use when exploring the city. The tram is not only quick and convenient, but it is also free. This allows passengers to move to and from any of the three MGM Resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. The tram seeks to ease this by connecting some of the city’s hotspots. It is not uncommon for first-time visitors to get lost trying to navigate the city in the sweltering heat.
