Parking is free in Vegas at most places. However, I advocate Valet parking. In Vegas it doesn’t cost anything at most of the casinos and hotels. Just give the Valet a dollar or two when they bring your automobile back. Trust me it is a real joy to get out of the automobile and walk right into the front door. I go to Vegas each year and always rent a car.
Again I go to Vegas each year. I have stayed at nearly each hotel on the strip and a couple off the strip, and I have never been charged for parking. Vegas is not like hotels in other cities.

Take a cab it’s easier, there is also buses that are cheaper.

Ah, you need local advice. Try ringin somewhere there and see what they say. Ring three stores and if they all say the same then it’s likely to be true.

If your going to stay at a hotel then a car is a waste of money.
The hotel will charge you 16 dollars a day for parking.
There is a bus that leaves just outside the baggage claim at the Las Vegas airport. 5-7 dollars per person depending on which hotel you are going to.
Once your on the strip you can walk everywhere.

unless you plan to go to the dam or the grand canyon there’s no need for a car the bus run 24 hrs a day its only $5 for a 24hr pass well worth it as you can get on and off as many times as you want. cabs are a ripe off its most of the time cheaper to rent a limo for your big night out then to take a cab. I had a limo pick me up at the airport and take me to my hotel to check in then to dinner at another place it was only 78 plus tip for 2hrs.
like i always say, YOUR ON VACATION ACT LIKE IT.

Most casinos have free self and valet parking. I always self-park at NYNY, Mandalay Bay, Aladdin, and Treasure Island because the garages are easily accessible. I valet at Mirage, MGM, and Wynn. I do whichever at Hard Rock – depends on what’s happening.
But, if you’re just going to be casino hopping on the Strip, it’s just an added expense to have a car. You can just as easily walk to where you want to go – and in the evenings and on weekends, it’s faster!
As for public transpo: after dark, ALWAYS do cabs. Buses are sketchy.

We’ve never had to pay for parking at a casino/hotel in Las Vegas. But think about if you are going to be needing a car for the whole time you are there. We rented one on a past visit, and only used it a couple of times. Another time we only rented one for a 24 hour period (rental agency was right in our hotel/casino) and did all of our sight seeing in one day. It all depends on how much driving around you want to do. Also, as far as busses and shuttles are concerned…if you are staying at one end of the strip and wanting to go to the other end or downtown, it could take quite a while for you to get there…lots & lots of stops.

rental car is good idea. there is lots of traffic but in the summer you want that a/c you are not going to be walking anywhere th 115 degrees heat. Parking is free.

Are you planning on staying on the Strip for the whole vacation?
If so, your car will just stay in the garage. You’re better off taking the bus or monorail.

You can see most of the stuff on the Strip by walking, so you don’t need a rental car. There is a free monorail between Bellagio and the Monte Carlo Hotel and also another free one between Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. The one on the opposite side of the street you have to pay to ride. There is a free bus between Harrahs Hotel to the RIO Hotel that runs every half hour. There is also a free bus that you can get outside the Barbery Coast Casino that will take you to the Orleans and some other off strip casinos.
If you do get a rental car, parking at all of the Strip and off strip hotels is free; I know I have been to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year for the past 20. All of the strip hotels have parking lots and garages or you can use their FREE valet parking. I fyou go to Freement Street, there is a parking garage that is free if you get your parking ticket stamped in one of the casinos restaurants or coffee shots. If you want to go to some off strip casinos, or Hoover Dam, or Red Rock Canyon, get a car. But if you are not going to any places off the strip do not.

rent the car believe me it is really really really better than public transportion, u can go where ever u want, it has a/c and u don’t have to pay as much

Oh, I wouldn’t rent a car. You can walk to many places, and if it’s too far you can take a taxi. We’ve been there three times and the traffic on the strip is unreal. The taxi drivers know how to get you where you’re going and avoid the worst traffic. My husband and I have remarked to each other that we were really glad that we weren’t trying to drive in Vegas ourselves–what a hassle.
