Here’s where to find free parking on and off the Las Vegas Strip

Free parking, once a staple of Las Vegas hotels, is now as difficult to come by as a slots jackpot.
A handful of Las Vegas Strip hotels that once touted free parking, including The Strat, Venetian and Palazzo, ended free parking for guests and visitors in 2023. It now costs $20 per day for tourists to self-park at The Strat and up to $23 per day for most people to self-park at Venetian and Palazzo.
The Tropicana offered free parking before it shuttered in April to make way for a new Major League Baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics, who will relocate to Las Vegas in 2028.
But just because free parking in Vegas is harder to find doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
Several places on and off the Strip don’t charge for parking. Some hotels offer free parking as a perk of their rewards programs, though you’ll have to earn your way up to a certain status tier before the perk kicks in. Nevada residents also qualify for free parking at many hotels.
