The Las Vegas Strip can be challenging enough to navigate, but what about Stratosphere parking? Is it difficult to find, and how much does it cost?
The Strat parking offers a large self parking garage and valet at the most affordable rates on the Strip.
Free Parking at Strat
While Stratosphere parking used to be free, as of April 3, 2023, there is now a charge for self parking at the Strat, unless you meet one of these conditions.
- Nevada Residents get free self parking
- True Rewards Solid level and up get free self parking
| Guest | Self Parking Fees | Valet Fees |
|---|---|---|
Nevada Residents | Free | Mon-Thurs: $25 per entry |
Registered Guests & Visitors | Daily: $20 for 24 hours | |
True Reward Members | Free Solid Level and up |
When you enter the garage, you will be given a QR code. Once you scan the code, you enter your license plate, check-out date, and a card on file. You won’t be charged until you check out. Self-parking fees are for 24 hours with unlimited in and out privileges.
Valet is not so generous. You will pay $25 or $30 (depending on weekday or weekend entry) for each entry into valet parking.
Self Parking Garage
The Stratosphere parking garage can be most conveniently accessed by taking Las Vegas Boulevard to W Bob Stupak Ave. If you’re heading south on Las Vegas Boulevard, you’ll take a right onto W Bob Stupak Ave. If you’re heading north on the Las Vegas Strip, you’ll take a left.
You don’t have to search too hard. The entrance to the Stratosphere parking garage is visible and will be on your right.
Whether you’re staying at the Stratosphere Hotel, dining at one of the wonderful restaurants, or trying your luck at the Casino, everyone can access self-parking.
Self Park for Free? Not Since April 2023
The Strat parking garage offers plenty of space. It is eight stories high and offers more than two thousand parking spaces. We’ve personally never had an issue finding any available spaces at the Strat.
Valet Parking
While valet also used to be free, they now charge $25 for Valet Parking on Monday to Thursday and $30 for valet on Friday to Sunday for every entry.
The valet attendant will greet you and issue you a ticket, which you’ll need to save to retrieve your car when you’re ready to leave.
And, even though they are now charging for valet parking, it is customary to tip the valet attendant in addition to the fee. So, it’s a good idea to carry a little cash on you.
Premium Parking
The Stratosphere Hotel is one of the most recent Las Vegas hotels that offer paid premium parking spaces.
Premium spaces are those located at the most convenient locations in the Stratosphere parking garage. Think along the lines of parking spaces near the elevators and also on the third floor of the parking garage, where you’ll find the walkway to the casino.
On average, there are about a dozen (give or take) paid parking spaces on each level.
Currently, the Stratosphere Hotel doesn’t have any information on its website about these premium spaces.
EV Charging
Currently, the Stratosphere Parking Garage doesn’t offer any EV charging stations for their hotel guests at this location.
Once inside the Strat, there are 3 ways out of the hotel to get you to the parking garage and valet marked on the map below:
FAQs
Does the STRAT have oversized or RV parking?
The Strat Las Vegas does offer oversized parking in a lot across the street from the hotel. Not all hotels and casinos in Las Vegas offer such close oversized parking, so this is a huge plus if you have a vehicle that doesn’t pass the clearance test at the Stratosphere parking garage. There is a small fee for oversized parking, and it is subject to availability. It’s best to contact Strat directly by phone or inquire at the time of making your reservation and booking your room about location and availability.
What is the height clearance of the Strat parking garage?
The Strat parking garage has a height clearance of 6′ 7u0022.
Erik says:
The Strat now has NO free parking. Just dropped in and they told me all parking was $13 for the first hour for visitors. They also said this was going to happen to all hotels in the strip. (Which is a lie. The Mirage just opened up free parking for locals with their rewards card.) They were rude too.
Bob & Jenn says:
We’ve just updated the new parking rates at the Strat where they range from $6-$15 for self parking, and $15 – $18 for valet.
Julio says:
Just book 5 nights at Strat. I have a handcap tag. As a guest and handcape, do I have to pay for Parking?
Carlee says:
Yes, standard parking fees will apply.
Caroline says:
Veterans should get free parking.
Heidi B says:
At some hotels on the strip, they offer the first 3 hours free if you’re a local. Is that the case here at The Strat?
Carlee says:
The Strat states that they offer “free in and out privileges daily” for locals, but as far as we can tell, the standard parking fees still apply.
Teri M Jorgensen says:
I have search the STRAT website..NO WHERE does it mention you have to pay $15/day parking. When I made my reservation NO ONE told me about it either. So mad
Carlee says:
Unexpected parking fees are always frustrating; we’re sorry you had that experience! In the future, asking about parking fees when you make your reservation is the way to go. If you don’t ask, it’s often not mentioned until you arrive. Or, return to our site to find all the latest Las Vegas parking details and applicable discounts. 🙂
Lisa Earl says:
I was charged twice for my parking and just got a notice to pay it again or I will get a citation. If I paid it the third time that would mean it was 40.99 for a day of parking!!!
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
I’m so sorry to hear that. You can call the concierge and they should be able to take care of this obvious error for you.
Luke Levant says:
Does the $15 (I’ve read $20 for a 24-hour period) get s applied every time one enters the parking at the STRAT or is there a 24-hr pass?
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
Yes, I just called the Strat for updated pricing on both Self Parking and Valet. Prices have gone up to $20 and the garage charges per 24-hour period with unlimited in and out privileges. Valet is $25 weekdays/$30 weekends per entry (not per day).
Diane says:
Is valet parking, at the Strat, good for 24 hours?
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
Yes, valet is charged by the day for every entry. So if you go in and out 3 times in one day, you’ll pay 3 times. Self parking is unlimited in and out priveleges.
Czee says:
How do you get the free parking? I am a local Nevada resident.
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
Provide your Nevada drivers license
Greg says:
If I park at 5:15p on a Saturday and check out 5:15p Monday that’s 48 hours. $40 not $60. I’m assuming they go by a time stamp thingy not daily.
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
Yes, that is correct and how most parking throughout Las Vegas works on a 24 hour schedule.
Rosie says:
If I were to rent a car that has a Nevada license plate. Would they count that as free parking?
Bob & Jenn Bassett says:
No, unfortunately you have to show a valid Nevada drivers license or ID.
