That you simply as soon as parked at no cost in any respect Las Vegas Strip casinos will likely be a narrative you inform your grandchildren  sooner or later — identical to the tales you inform them about ingesting in them at no cost and (for those who’re sufficiently old) as soon as getting your room comped since you gambled $100.

One of many final remaining free parking holdouts, Venetian/Palazzo — two resorts which might be actually the identical resort — will cost for parking “later this summer season,” in response to its/their web site.

The Venetian’s self-parking cost was not revealed. Nevertheless, like most different Strip resorts, it’ll proceed permitting rewards membership members with a sure standing (Premier degree or above) to self-park at no cost, and Nevada residents to self-park for 3 free hours.

Valet parking will stay $35.

Free Fall

This leaves solely the Tropicana, Treasure Island, Circus Circus, On line casino Royale, and Wynn/Encore (one other two resorts which might be the identical resort) providing free parking to simply anybody — although the Tropicana already expenses for a few of its higher spots.

That wasn’t a typo. Practically each Sphere ticketholder might want to discover parking both at one other on line casino resort or the Trend Present mall, or not drive a automobile there.
