Las Vegas Paid Parking Fees 2017 Guide
The Las Vegas Strip had long been a parking heaven since none of the resorts were charging to use their parking lots.
This had always been very convenient for visitors to be able to drive from one property to the other without never worrying about parking. Not only were the parking garages huge but they were all free!
Unfortunately on June 6, 2016 , MGM Resorts (who operates 9 casinos on the Strip) decided to change the rules and started charging for parking!
In 2017, MGM's policy was followed by Caesars Entertainement (Operating 7 casinos on the strip) and the Cosmopolitan a little later.
As of this writing in July 2017, only a handful of resorts still offer free self parking on the strip (Treasure island, Tropicana, Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo, Circus Circus, Stratosphere, SLS)
How does it work?
- If you are a hotel guest: At most of these hotels you can use your room key to access the parking garage and the fee will then be charged to your room.
- If you are not a hotel guest: you will receive a ticket while entering the parking and can use the Pay-on-foot kiosks to pay prior to returning to your vehicle.
- If you have complimentary access due to your Player's Card tier status: Scan your qualifying Player's Card for entry and exit (you do not need to take a ticket).

I know where I won’t be staying. Charging hotel guest staying in that hotel? Ridic. Hopefully the smaller casinos will not stoop to this corporate greed.
