Insider Tips for Las Vegas Locals

While many major resorts have shifted to paid parking, Nevada residents still have a significant advantage if they know how to use their ID.

• The 3-Hour Rule: Locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license still get the first 3 hours of free parking at all Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts properties.

• Standard Procedures: To claim your free hours, you typically scan your NV ID at the exit gate or at a kiosk before heading back to your car.

• Note on Promotions: While special "all day free" promotions for locals (like the one Caesars ran through February 26, 2026) occasionally pop up, the 3-hour window is the consistent standard you can rely on year-round.

More Ways to Score Free Parking

If you are not a local or are staying longer than three hours, you can still dodge the fees with these tricks:

• Level Up Your Status: Most loyalty programs, such as MGM Rewards (Pearl level and above) or Caesars Rewards (Platinum level and above), offer free self-parking as a standard tier benefit.

• Military and Veterans: Both MGM and Caesars offer specialized cards (the M life Rewards Military/Pearl upgrade and the Caesars Rewards Salute card) that grant complimentary parking to active-duty military, veterans, and their spouses.

• Validation is Key: Some luxury shops and high-end restaurants at properties like Wynn, Encore, and Fontainebleau will validate your parking with a minimum spend.

• Watch the Calendar: Be aware that "Free Parking" often disappears during "Special Events." If there is a major concert at Allegiant Stadium or a Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena, many nearby garages will switch to flat-rate event pricing.
