The Mirage-Treasure Island Tram is a funicular in Las Vegas.[4] It is on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip connecting The Mirage with Treasure Island Hotel and Casino operated by the resort.[5] It uses rubber tyres and it is cable hauled.[6] It operates as a fully automated guideway system on elevated track and has done since it opened in 1993.[7] Caesar's Palace would not permit the tram to cross it's property.[8] The tram runs from the front of the Mirage to the rear of Treasure Island with an intermediate stop at the parking garage.[9] It was built by VSL.[10] In 2020 it was extensively overhauled by Jakes associates.[11]
