Where can you park for free on the Las Vegas Strip?
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
If there’s one thing locals wish they could demand out of Strip casinos, it’d be free parking.
But self-parking garage policies have changed dramatically over the years, and fewer resorts offer complimentary parking for everyone nowadays. Look no further than The Venetian and The Palazzo, whose management announced a paid parking policy would be implemented at the resorts sometime in August.
The policy change appears to be linked to the anticipated opening of the Sphere at The Venetian – so it’s possible that other parking garages will change their policies to cash in on the new foot traffic as well.
Here’s a breakdown of the free and free-ish parking garages still available on the Strip as of July 2023:
Free parking
- Sahara Las Vegas
- Treasure Island
- Circus Circus
- Tropicana Las Vegas
- Trump International Hotel Las Vegas
- Fashion Show Mall
- The Shops at Crystals
- The Venetian
- The Palazzo
- Encore Las Vegas
- Wynn Las Vegas
Free* parking
Yes, that’s an asterisk. While the options of complimentary self-parking are limited, several other properties on the Strip offer free parking to locals for a set number of hours or on certain days. And many resorts offer free self-parking for loyalty program members of a designated level.
- Caesars Entertainment properties (Horseshoe, Caesars Palace, Paris, Planet Hollywood, The Linq, Flamingo and the Cromwell resorts) offer the first three hours free for locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license.
- MGM Resorts International properties (Bellagio, Aria, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, New York-New York, Luxor and Excalibur resorts), offer the first three hours free for locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license.
- The Mirage offers the first three hours free for locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license. Locals who use their Nevada ID at the resort’s players club to join Hard Rock’s Unity loyalty program will be upgraded to the second-tier and gain complimentary free parking access.
- Resorts World offers complimentary parking for Genting Rewards members.
- The Strat offers complimentary parking for locals with valid Nevada ID.
