Where to Park For Free On The Strip in Las Vegas

Parking is something that Las Vegas casinos have historically offered guests as a free perk. After all, if someone parks at your property they’re likely to gamble, stay for dinner, see a show, and ultimately spend more money.

Unfortunately, though, more and more resorts are hopping on the paid parking bandwagon, making free parking on the Strip harder to find.

Why a casino would decide to put their guests on a timer, essentially rushing them off their property with hourly parking fees is beyond me. But I digress.

I thought it would be helpful to build and maintain a list of casinos that still offer Free Parking. After all, it’s no fun to start your night down money before your first roll of the dice.

Free Parking On The Las Vegas Strip

Treasure Island
Tropicana
Circus Circus
Sahara
Casino Royale
Resorts World*

Note that Tropicana offers “premium” parking spots close to the casino for a fee. You can still find free parking if you’re willing to take a few more steps, however.

*Resorts World only offers free parking for members of their casino loyalty program. Simply sign up to receive the benefit.

Other Strip Casinos That Offer Free Parking… Sometimes

How To Park Free at Caesars Properties

Although all CET properties have re-instituted paid parking, you can still park for free if you have obtained Platinum status or greater within the Caesars Rewards loyalty program.

Parking is also free for those that exit the ramp within an hour, or locals who exit within 3 hours.

How To Park Free at MGM Properties

Parking at MGM Resorts properties is free for Nevada residents and those that have earned Pearl status or higher in the MGM Rewards loyalty program.

Note that MGM Rewards Mastercard holders receive an automatic upgrade to Pearl status.

Parking for under an hour is also always free at all MGM properties. Unlike Caesars, MGM currently charges resort guests for parking.

How To Park Free at Cosmopolitan

Hotel guests at Cosmopolitan park for free, however, non-guests still have to pony up unless they’ve earned Sterling status or greater in the Identity rewards program.

The Mirage Parking

The Mirage now offers free parking to Nevada residents. Unfortunately, tourists will continue to pony up.

Wynn & Encore Parking

Hotel guests park free at Wynn and non-guests park free for the first 4 hours – After that, it’s $20 per day.

Members of Wynn rewards that have achieved Chairman, Platinum, and Black tiers also park for free.

Las Vegas Strip Shopping Centers That Offer Free Parking

Crystals
Fashion Show Mall

Strip Shuttles No Longer an Option

Historically, guests looking to get to the Strip and park for free could park at one of a number of casinos in the locals market and catch a free Strip shuttle.

Unfortunately, almost every one of those shuttles has been discontinued or “temporarily” paused.

I’m hopeful that resort operators wake up to the reality that paid parking is pushing their customers off property faster than they would typically leave if they weren’t on a timer.

Hopefully, as time goes on, parking fees are phased out… but I’m not holding my breath.
