Free Parking Las Vegas Strip & Downtown

We’ve compiled a complete guide on all the free parking in Las Vegas including hotels and shopping malls on the Las Vegas Strip, off the Strip, and Downtown.

Because parking rates change so fast in Vegas, we update this guide every 2 months by calling each location to verify that free parking is offered, and under which circumstances.

Below, we’ve listed the completely free parking for everyone in each of the three locations around Vegas.

Our map shows 100% free parking throughout Vegas, so no matter where you are, you can find a place nearby with parking free of charge. The hotels are marked in purple and the shopping malls are indicated in green.

Free Parking on Las Vegas Strip

Free parking on the Las Vegas Strip is more difficult to find, but there are still hotels and malls offering it. The handy chart we created below shows the hotels on Las Vegas Blvd with 100% free parking for everyone at the top for both self-parking and valet.

Lower in the free parking chart, we show the hotels that have conditional or limited free parking for Nevada residents and rewards card members.

Hotels on the Strip with Free Parking

We’ve provided the details for each hotel with 100% free parking on the Las Vegas Strip for everyone, whether it has just self-parking for free or free valet parking as well. You’ll notice most of the hotels that provide parking free of cost are usually located at the outer ends of the Strip or have a budget-conscious clientele, where parking fees can really affect whether people stay there or not.

Resorts World

Resorts World is offering free self parking to all visitors for the summer through August 28, 2025. If they get a lot of visitors, they may continue this indefinitely. Let’s cross our fingers. 🤞

Sahara

The Sahara Las Vegas has free parking for everyone visiting the hotel and casino. The nice thing is you can access the two self-parking garages (entrances from the Strip and Paradise Rd) AND the valets at both entrances completely free of charge.

The only exception to the Sahara free parking is on days the festival grounds are being used, unless you are a registered hotel guest, when parking is always free all the time.

Treasure Island

The TI or Treasure Island free parking includes self- and valet parking options for registered guests or anyone visiting the resort.

Use Mel Torme Way, which runs along the back of the hotel, to access self parking here, and Siren’s Cove Blvd to access valet parking at TI.

Circus Circus

Self-parking at Circus Circus is free for everyone. While they have valet parking, there is a charge.

Limited No Fee Parking Hotels on the Strip

Most casinos on the Strip offer free parking in a limited capacity or to particular people. For example, it’s common to see Nevada residents get free parking for a few hours to encourage locals to come to events or restaurants on the Strip.

You’ll also see free parking as a benefit of achieving a certain level of the hotel’s or hotel chain’s rewards membership. This is done to encourage loyalty to a brand of hotel so you can build up more reward points and get more perks.

Fontainebleau Free Parking

Fontainebleau parking is one of the best high-end hotel parking deals on the Strip. They allow everyone to get free self-parking for the first four hours. This means you can visit for a show or dinner and usually never have to pay to park.

Hotel guests also park for free in the Fontainebleau garage for the duration of their stay since it’s included in the resort fee.

And, Fontainebleau goes the extra mile and gives valet ticket validation if you are dining at one of their restaurants, or having a cocktail at any of their bars or lounges. Only downtown hotels offer this typically. This makes Fontainebleau the only hotel on the Strip to offer free valet parking!

All MGM Resorts

The MGM properties offer free self-parking to Nevada residents who get 3 hours of self parking for free. The MGM resorts are Bellagio, ARIA, Vdara, Cosmopolitan, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Delano Las Vegas, Park MGM, NoMad Las Vegas, New York-New York, Luxor, and Excalibur.

MGM Rewards Members get free self-parking for Pearl level (2nd tier) and above and free valet parking for Gold (3rd tier) and above.

Most Caesars Hotels (Horseshoe, Caesars Palace, Harrahs, Cromwell, Linq, Paris, Flamingo)

Most of the Caesars hotels on the Strip offer free self-parking for Nevada residents for 3 hours. We say “most Caesars hotels” because Planet Hollywood, which is a Caesars property, has a different parking policy.

Caesars Rewards members get free self parking and valet parking 🤯 for Platinum (2nd tier) and above. But there’s a catch…

…the free valet does not apply at certain hotels – Caesars Palace, Paris, Planet Hollywood, and Horseshoe. Seems overly complicated to me.

Planet Hollywood

Planet Hollywood has free parking for everyone for one hour. Nevada residents are fresh outta luck.

Wynn & Encore

As usual, Wynn Las Vegas & Encore beat to their own drum. They offer free self-parking for THREE hours for everyone, and hotel guests get complimentary self-parking for the duration of their stay. You wouldn’t think such a luxury hotel on the Strip would have such generous free parking.

Wynn Rewards Black (top tier) members get complimentary valet.

Venetian and Palazzo

The Venetian and Palazzo have free parking for Nevada residents for 3 hours in the self-parking garages. Rewards Members get free self-parking for Premier (2nd tier) and above and free valet for Elite (3rd tier) and above.

The Strat

The Stratosphere offers free in-and-out self-parking for Nevada residents daily – not just for 3 hours like other hotel casinos.

Resorts World

Resorts World used to have free parking just for holding the lowest level Genting Rewards card, which anyone can get. But since June 1, 2024, that benefit has been removed and now only applies to those with the Elite status.

Shopping with Complimentary Parking on the Strip

Surprisingly, there are four shopping malls on the Las Vegas Strip offering a variety of parking options at no cost. And it’s not just self-parking but at three of these malls, you can even get free valet parking on the Strip!

Fashion Show Mall 

The Fashion Show Mall parking is free for any of the 6 garages around the mall and two valet locations in front of Nordstrom and Sak’s Fifth Avenue. Be careful though, the Forever 21 valet costs $11.

The Shops at Crystals

The Shops at Crystals parking is complimentary at the valet, which can be accessed off W Aria Pl.

Shoppes at Mandalay Place

The Shoppes at Mandalay Place offer free valet parking for shoppers.

Wynn Plaza Shops

Wynn Plaza Shops has 4 hours of free self parking for anyone visiting the Wynn, so take advantage of this perk.

Complimentary Parking Downtown

Downtown still has meters for street parking, but availability is limited and they can fill up fast, so if there is an event going on, don’t expect to find a meter within walking distance of your event.

The D Hotel

The D has free parking for hotel guests for both self parking and valet. The valet is also free to non-registered guests, except for the tip, of course. There is a $5/hour charge up to $20/day for self parking for non-hotel guests at The D.

Golden Nugget

Free parking at the Golden Nugget includes registered hotel guests, Premier, Chairman, and Elite rewards members, and validated parking. It’s easy to get validated parking since almost everything qualifies for validation including dine-in restaurants, Usher, poker room and table games, and shopping.

Plaza

The Plaza Hotel free parking is limited to registered hotel guests, validated tickets from Oscar’s and Bingo play, and Plaza Reward members of Silver and Gold levels.

Downtown Grand

Downtown Grand parking is free under most circumstances. You can qualify for free self parking by being a registered hotel guest or you can get parking validated with a $25 spend at any restaurant on-property. You can even get free valet parking with validation for a $25 spend at the Grill or by earning 500 points at the casino.

Tips on How to Get Free Parking in Las Vegas

1. Registered Hotel Guest

Staying the night is almost always a ticket to free parking, at least in downtown Las Vegas and resorts just off the strip.

2. Nevada Residents

If you are a Nevada Resident or can show a Nevada driver’s license, you can get free parking for up to 3 hours at most hotels.

3. Validated Parking

Validated parking is a great way to get free parking Downtown. Most hotels downtown will validate parking for dine-in restaurants, shows, casino play, and sometimes even shopping.

4. Reward Cards

Every hotel group has its own rewards cards or memberships, and if you return to the same resorts over and over, you can really rack up the points and levels. Most Reward cards will give you free self-parking for the second level and up, so loyalty can pay off.

Avoiding a parking fee in Las Vegas these days can be difficult. Many tourists opt for public transportation like the Deuce bus, shuttle, or the monorail to get around. But those alternative options come with their own challenges. So, if you’re driving into Las Vegas, check the free parking places first to save money for the fun stuff!
