Key Points:
- 4 Las Vegas Strip resorts (TI, Circus Circus, Sahara, Casino Royale) offer free parking with no preconditions.
- MGM and Caesars offer free parking to guests with Pearl or Platinum status, respectively, which you can easily earn with each chain’s branded credit card.
Free parking in Las Vegas used to be “the norm”, but what was once common is now rare.
While a small number of casinos still offer free parking to all, the ones that charge will let you park for free… provided you jump through some hoops.
I’ll explain those “hoops” so you’re not shelling out $20+ per day for your car to sit in a ramp.
Free Parking On The Strip
First, let’s define the Strip resorts that offer free parking to all, no questions asked.
- Treasure Island
- Circus Circus
- Sahara
- Casino Royale
How to Park Free at Other Resorts
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.
You can earn that status by gambling/spending or signing up for the Caesars Rewards visa card. The card has no annual fee, and you’ll be upgraded to Platinum after your first purchase.
MGM Resorts Properties
Parking at MGM Resorts properties is free for those who have earned Pearl status or higher in the MGM Rewards loyalty program.
Similar to Caesars, MGM Rewards Mastercard holders receive an automatic upgrade to Pearl status.
Wynn & Encore Parking
Hotel guests in either tower park for free, as do those who have earned Chairman status or above in the Wynn Rewards loyalty program (a high… and expensive bar to clear).
Non-hotel guests get 3 hours free, then are charged $25 per day.
Venetian & Palazzo
Those with Sapphire or higher status in Venetian Rewards park for free, but that’s the only carve-out.
Fontainebleau
Parking is currently free for all hotel guests and Fontainebleau Rewards members of any status.
That promo is scheduled to conclude on September 7th, 2026.
Resorts World
Genting Rewards members of any status, hotel guests, and cars with Nevada license plates park free at Resorts World (choose your rental car wisely!).
Genting Rewards members need to download the Metropolis Parking app and link their Genting Rewards account.
STRAT
It’s insane to me that STRAT, which is in the middle of nowhere, charges for parking. Anyway.
True Rewards members with Solid status or above receive complimentary parking.
Additionally, those with a Nevada license plate always park for free (again, choose your rental wisely!).
Malls With Free Parking
The Shops at Crystals
The mid-Strip luxury mall offers complimentary valet parking from 10 am – 11 pm daily (but account for tipping).
This obviously isn’t a late-night or overnight option.
Fashion Show Mall
TI’s neighbor to the north offers free self-parking, but you’re likely better off parking at Treasure Island for free since it’s closer to the action.
Strip Shuttles No Longer an Option
Historically, guests looking to get to the Strip and park for free could park at one of several casinos in the locals market and catch a free Strip shuttle.
Unfortunately, almost all of those shuttles have 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, over time, parking fees are phased out… but I’m not holding my breath.

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.

I wonder if parking fees are taxed less? Businesses are always looking for ways to pay less taxes…
