Easiest access for parking at various casinos for poker players. Please submit suggestions, corrections, & additions.
Check bottom of page for MGM Rewards and CET Caesars) property rules, with the right card they are free.
Aria: Self-Park, access off the strip, Follow signs, which are generally of a bear left variety. MGM*/$
Bellagio – Park on the walk in level. It’s a walk. ~ MGM*/$. If you valet, or are being dropped off, use the North Valet. You can access/egress from Flamingo (west) and never hit the strip. Coming from off the strip to self-park, bear left.
Encore (Wynn) ~ follow signs for self-park at Encore. However, if you are one of the cool kids, you park at Wynn Self Park and walk across the pedestrian bridge to the Encore (on the 2nd level of the Wynn garage). First 3 hours are free, then they charge $ , but after 3 hours, the poker room will validate your ticket (they can’t until 3 hours have passed on your ticket) and it is free. So, don’t sweat it, poker players.
Golden Nugget: Take Main street to Carson, Left to valet or right to the garage. Free with validation @ poker room, otherwise you pay at the garage. (If you have a room there, free garage parking.)
Horseshoe (previously Bally’s) ~ Self park (good luck through the alley, hard turn, up a ramp, bleck). $/CET**
MGM ~ Come in off Tropicana, be patient because it is always a mess getting there. It is a long walk from the parking garage to the poker room. MGM*/$
The Orleans – North parking garage. Free
Red Rock Casino – West parking garage. Free
Resorts World ~ Park in the HOTEL self-parking, not in the self-parking for the casino. Free with a player’s card. <- you can get one after you have parked, it’s fine.
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.
Venetian/Palazzo: $/Gratzie The Palazzo self-park has the easiest access. The access is off Sands (which is also called Spring Mountain on the west side of the strip, and called Twain on the east side of Paradise Rd). 3 hours free if you have a NV driver’s license. (Who plays poker for only 3 hours?) Validation occurs by the poker room after three hours for both out of state and locals. Saphire and above get free parking, so upgrade to ‘fake Saphire’ after 75 hours of play and never have to worry about it again. The new stunning poker room is on the 2nd floor with the forum shops, right off the ‘casino’ elevator in the garage.
**Upgrade your card to Saphire with **15 tournament entries or 75 hours of cash play until Feb 2024 <- double check this with the poker room! Not sure if still correct (Dec 2023).
Westgate: Park by the sportsbook (Joe Brown Dr), around the back if you can -> this is Swenson St if coming from the south, which turns into Joe Brown. You can get there from either direction. (The signs in this lot for sportsbook say “by permit only”, but this is not the case, so says an insider). In the main lot or garage tell the attendant that you are there to play poker and they will let you in for free although you may need to show them your player’s card.
*MGM Rewards – Pearl and above is free to self-park, Gold and above is usually free to valet. Upgrade to fake-pearl with 75 hous, fake-gold with 150 hours poker play combined across all MGM poker rooms – contact the poker room managers for more info.
**CET – Platinum and above is free to self-park, Diamond above is free valet <- sometimes, depending – they hedge on this.
