How can I avoid paying for parking in Las Vegas?

Until June 2016, free valet and self-parking was available throughout the Strip. Now, it has joined the ranks of indoor smoking, $2 shrimp cocktails and other perks once ubiquitous in Las Vegas. To make matters worse, MGM Resorts just raised its rates, only four months after it started charging locals to park.

Self-parking at all MGM Resorts remains free for guests who stay one hour or less, with fees across 12 properties ranging from $5-$7 for 1-2 hours, $8-$12 for 2-4 hours, and $10-$15 for 4-24 hours.

Of course, we must come up with a #lifehack for bypassing paid parking. Customers with Pearl, Gold, Platinum or Noir M life rewards cards receive free parking at MGM properties, but if you’re not a gambler, the membership allows you to sign up for its Mastercard, the use of which allows the upgrade to Pearl status—and free parking.

Not that long ago, one of the nice Vegas perks that almost all hotels offered was free parking. Unfortunately, this benefit is quickly changing with many hotels now charging them. This is in addition to the mandatory Resort Fees. It even applies to self-parking. 

The parking fee rules are complicated and have certain exceptions, such as local residents and Rewards Card members getting free parking. Below is a list of the major Las Vegas hotels and what they charge for parking. Most of the hotels offer an hour of free parking. Luckily, some major Vegas hotels, like Rio Suites, Treasure Island, Venetian, Palazzo, Tropicana, Rio Suites, Stratosphere, Circus Circus, Wynn and Encore are free for everyone. Other hotels, like Cosmopolitan have free parking for hotel guests. You can also find free parking at some of the major shopping malls near the Vegas strip, such as the Fashion Show Mall, Miracle Mile Shops, Shops at Crystals, and The Shoppes at Mandalay Place.
