Aria Express (formerly and also known as the CityCenter Tram) is a 2,034-foot-long (620 m)[2] people mover located on the Las Vegas Strip.

The system's three stations connect the Las Vegas casinos Park MGM and Bellagio with CityCenter.[3] The Park MGM station additionally serves the Aria Resort and Casino. The CityCenter station is located above The Shops at Crystals and also serves other CityCenter properties such as Aria and Waldorf Astoria. The northern Bellagio station also serves the Vdara.[4] All of the properties served by the Aria Express are operated or were developed by MGM Resorts International.

The Aria Express is free to ride and operates daily from 08:00 to 02:00.[4][5]
