Tropicana Las Vegas Parking: Closed on April 2

Note: Tropicana is permanently closed as of April 2nd, 2024.

There are plenty of resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, but none offer parking that’s as simple and easy as the Tropicana. Tropicana Las Vegas parking is free for hotel guests and non-guests alike.

With a great location that’s connected by pedestrian bridges to MGM Grand and Excalibur, Tropicana offers exceptional affordability and helps to reduce the dreaded parking stress that comes with staying in Las Vegas hotels. 

Free Parking

Tropicana Las Vegas is one of the few places on Las Vegas Blvd that offer options for free parking. Tropicana offers completely free parking both for non-hotel guests and registered hotel guests.

Tropicana still offers no-cost parking in their parking garage and also in the parking lot on the east side of the hotel. These parking spaces are always free for guests staying at the Tropicana hotel, and for non-hotel guests, with the exception of certain holidays and events. In these areas, parking is free, no matter how long you stay. 

Premium Paid Parking

Free parking can make it more difficult for those staying in Tropicana hotel rooms to find a spot to park, especially during sporting events and major events at the nearby T-mobile arena.

The Tropicana property is also adjacent and connected by a pedestrian bridge to two major resorts, which means many people park at Tropicana to visit other casinos, restaurants, shopping, and more on Las Vegas Blvd. 

To limit the number of parked cars of people that were in the lots and the garage that weren’t actually spending any time at the property, Tropicana implemented what they call premium paid parking. 

They now charge for parking your vehicle in certain lots, including Lot 1, which is closest to Tropicana Blvd, and also parking spots that are on Las Vegas Blvd.

While they now charge for these spots, the cost still isn’t exorbitant by any means, especially when compared to what you might have otherwise spent by parking at one of the other major resorts. 

Self Parking Garage

Self-parking in the standard lot and garage is always complimentary for hotel guests. Visitors may be asked to pay a fee for these normally free spots during special events or holidays. 

Parking in the premium lots costs $5 for the first four hours and $10 for a $24 period. These rates are extended to those just visiting but may be more for them on weekends, holidays, and special events. 

Valet parking is also offered and free for hotel guests and visitors, except on weekends, holidays, and special events, when Tropicana may charge a fee. 

EV Charging

If you’re a guest staying at the Tropicana Las Vegas and looking for a place to plug in your EV, you’re not going to find a spot in the parking garage.

However, EV charging stations are available at both the MGM Grand and Excalibur, which are located right across the street from Tropicana and are easy to get back and forth from using a pedestrian bridge.  

Tropicana Resort & Casino offers a great location on the Las Vegas Strip while also being not too far from the T Mobile Arena and the airport.

Parking is easy as you can access the parking structure from the Strip. If you prefer valet parking, turn onto Tropicana Ave and proceed until you see a sign directing where to turn for valet services.
