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.
Caesars Palace ~ No idea, self-park in garage I assume. Room is over near the sportsbook. $/CET**
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.
Sahara ~ Come in from Paradise rather than the strip. Follow signs for self-park. Be sure to park in the main self-park garage, not the secondary garage which is kinda weird and is also used for storage. Free.
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: $/Gratzie While it is a long walk to the poker room, we prefer to park at the Palazzo which has easier access and the garage is less occupied. The access is off Sands, which is also called Spring Mountain on the west side of the strip, which is also called Twain on the east side of Paradise. 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, like Wynn/Encore, for both out of state and locals.
**Upgrade your card to Gratzie Premier 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, not in the main lot or garage. This is Swenson St if coming from the south, which turns into Joe Brown. You can get there from either direction. Free (The signs in this lot for sportsbook/by permit only, but this is not the case, so says an insider).
*MGM Rewards – Pearl and above is free to self-park, Gold and above is usually free to valet.
**CET – Platinum and above is free to self-park, Diamond above is free valet <- sometimes, depending – they hedge on this.
***Tropicana (owned by Bally’s Corp) has the worst website ever for a big corporate casino conglomerate. Ergo, no promises about parking info, but as far as we can tell, still free unless there is an event going on nearby.
