Enter from Paris off LVB or the back, back route from Audrie (iykyk). Paris entrance from LVB is the easiest. These two properties share a parking garage.

South Point~ Frankly, we like to valet (free – but please tip well), especially if it is hot outside. Poker room is closest to the south side of the exterior lot and a much shorter walk, often hard to find parking there during events. The garage is a good place to park to get out of the elements. Free.

The new stunning poker room is on the 2nd floor with the forum shops, right off the ‘casino’ elevator in the garage.
Westgate: Free to poker players, BUT you need to scan the QR code to download the parking app: input in your information -> license plate and cc# (just one time).
