Through the years, many places – and I mean MANY places – have taken to charging for parking. Here’s why. And there’s probably no place more indicative of that than Las Vegas.
Funny thing is, just a couple of years ago, that wasn’t the case. In fact, as recently as 2023, free self-parking was relatively plentiful. But those good old days are long over.
In July 2023, we let y’all know about two resorts on the Las Vegas Strip that had decided to eliminate free parking. Two months later, we reported about three more hotels on the strip that had done away with free parking.
We kind of moved on after that and didn’t pay much attention to the shrinkage of free parking in Vegas. We should have, though, because over the past 2 years, it seems that more and more places have said, “Heck yeah, we’re gonna charge you to park! That’s more money for us!”
With that in mind, here are a bunch of places that still offer free self-parking:
