After months of anticipation, the iconic Las Vegas Strip tram will finally reopen to the public this weekend, providing visitors with a convenient and scenic mode of transportation along the bustling entertainment corridor.
The tram, which connects the Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay resorts, has been out of commission for over a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with vaccinations on the rise and restrictions easing, the operators of the tram have announced that it will resume service starting Friday.
“We are thrilled to bring back this beloved attraction for both locals and tourists alike,” said John Smith, the general manager of the Las Vegas Strip tram. “The tram offers a quick and easy way to travel between some of the most popular destinations on the Strip, and we can’t wait to welcome back our riders.”
The tram, which runs on a 2.7-mile loop, offers stunning views of the Las Vegas skyline and provides a convenient way for visitors to hop between the three resorts without having to navigate the crowded streets or endure long walks in the desert heat.
“We always advise our guests to take advantage of the tram if they plan on visiting multiple hotels along the Strip,” said Maria Lopez, a concierge at the Luxor. “It’s a great way to save time and energy, especially during the hot summer months.”
The tram will operate daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. and will run every 10-15 minutes, ensuring that riders can quickly hop on and off at their leisure. The operators have also implemented strict cleaning protocols and social distancing measures to ensure the safety of all passengers.
“We want our guests to feel comfortable and secure while riding the tram,” said Smith. “We have enhanced our cleaning procedures and are following all CDC guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.”
As Las Vegas continues to rebound from the pandemic, the reopening of the Strip tram is a welcome sign of progress and a reminder of the city’s resilience and ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned veteran, be sure to take advantage of this convenient and enjoyable mode of transportation during your next trip to Sin City.
