The Mandalay Bay hotel is directly adjacent to THEhotel, all via indoor corridors. Traveling between the Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur hotels is as easy as catching the free monorail that loops between them. The monorail is in operation 24 hours a day and trains leave every 3-7 minutes. Trains loop from the Mandalay Bay to the Luxor to the Excalibur, and then back to the Mandalay Bay. Allow about 3 minutes travel time on the monorail between each hotel and 15-20 minutes of extra time for walking from the Mandalay Bay monorail station to the conference events. Stairs and elevators are available for access to the train platforms.
