Where can I park for free in Las Vegas? These hotels on the Strip don't charge for parking
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 up to $15 per day to park at The Strat and up to $18 per day to park at Venetian and Palazzo.
One of the few remaining Strip hotels with free parking, the Tropicana, is permanently closing on April 2 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.
