Parking fees are a newer revenue stream for Las Vegas casinos. While downtown casinos have charged for parking for decades, Strip ones started charging in 2016. MGM Resorts was the first Strip company to try it, and most others quickly followed.
Guests can find several ways out of parking fees. Most downtown casinos and a few on the Strip offer free parking to hotel guests and validate it for casino players. On the Strip, higher players club tiers receive free parking. A casino credit card perk may include free parking. Fees are waived for short-term parking for Nevada residents. That is usually for three hours or less. Hotel guests generally receive in and out privileges throughout the 24 hours of daily parking.

You should’ve included the hotels that include free parking for locals. In case your subscribers are visiting family members.
Thanks for this suggestion – we’ll definitely look at this angle for a future update!
That’s BS the parking fee is a dealbreaker for me. I will not be returning.
Thanks for that feedback Jeremy – there’s been a growing conversation about Vegas and its affordability as the number and amount of the fees continue to grow. We’ve certainly heard others share your sentiment!
For years I’d stay at one hotel and drive to a few others to play for an hour. I still rent a car but don’t drive to the strip hotels to play. Apparently, they don’t care.
Having an expense to pop in certainly puts an obstacle for many, not just yourself. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like anything will change anytime soon.
