As the countdown to the closure of Mirage on July 17, 2024 continues, there are already signs the iconic Strip resort is fading away.<\/p>\n

The tram between Mirage and Treasure Island (colloquially, TI) has closed. The tram’s last day of operation was mumble mumble nobody really mumble noticed, sorry.<\/p>\n

The closure was first reported by VegasChanges.com<\/a> on June 23, 2024.<\/p>\n

“Tram” comes from the Middle Dutch word “traam” meaning “shaft of a barrow,” which is a lot less dirty than it sounds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The free tram was a holdover from the days when Mirage and TI had the same owner, Steve Wynn. Wynn is currently enduring a harsh penalty for years of alleged sexual misconduct. Specifically, he has to spend day after day on his $200 million yacht, sometimes without the benefit of sunscreen.<\/p>\n

The Mirage to TI, or vice versa, tram track was only about 1,000 feet long, and the ride took about 90 seconds, a duration which will sound very familiar to our lovers.<\/p>\n

The tram had a maximum capacity of 50 passengers, approximately 85% of whom were shit-faced at any given time.<\/p>\n

Here’s the ride, both directions.<\/p>\n
