While Las Vegas as a whole has ample parking, the downtown area can be tricky.\n\n\"parking-in-downtown-las-vegas\"\n\nIf you\u2019re visiting areas like Container Park or Fremont Street, you may run into parking problems if you aren\u2019t adequately prepared. Check out these tips before parking downtown.\n

Parking at the Plaza<\/h2>\nParking at the Plaza Hotel & Casino<\/a> is convenient and affordable. To access the self-parking garage, head to Main Street and Carson Avenue. Located on Main Street at Bridger Avenue is a self-parking surface lot.\n\nSelf parking in these areas is always free for Plaza hotel guests, but everyone else can still enjoy free parking for the first 30 minutes! Non-hotel guests can have their parking refunded if validated at Oscar’s Steakhouse<\/a> or the Plaza casino<\/a> based upon play.\n

Parking at The Fremont Street Experience<\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re headed to the Fremont Street Experience, there are several options when it comes to parking. There are self-parking garages and valet parking at several casinos in the area, including the Golden Nugget, Fremont, and Four Queens.\n

Parking at The Fremont Street Experience \u2014 West End<\/h2>\nThe five-block area that comprises the West End of the Fremont Street Experience is a popular attraction for visitors, and the Plaza offers excellent parking for this downtown area.\n\nSome members of the Plaza Rewards Club<\/a> may be awarded free parking in paid areas, depending upon membership tier and points earned. If you\u2019re not already a member, it\u2019s fast, easy, and free to sign up online<\/a>!\n

Container Park Parking<\/h2>\nFor convenient access to Container Park, consider parking at the El Cortez self-parking area. There\u2019s another public parking lot adjacent to the casino and an underground garage at Neonopolis.\n\nThe Neonopolis garage offers one free hour. After that, each additional hour costs $1, but $5 is the maximum for parking up to 24 hours.\n

Main Street Parking<\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re headed to Main Street, there\u2019s convenient valet parking between Stewart and Ogden. Or, try the self-parking garage located slightly north of Stewart Ave.\n\n\"parking-garage-downtown-las-vegas\"\n\nThere\u2019s another public lot at First Street. Both self-parking garages charge $3 for parking Sunday through Thursday and $5 on Fridays and Saturdays.\n

General Downtown Parking Tips<\/h2>\nWhen it comes to parking in Downtown Vegas, parking at the Plaza is one of the most convenient options \u2014 especially if you\u2019re a Royal Rewards Club member or a hotel guest! There\u2019s no denying that using the Plaza\u2019s free 30 minutes of parking is the best option in Downtown Vegas, either.\n\nThere is parking available on downtown side streets for a small fee, although you\u2019re likely to find garage parking far more convenient. If you do opt for side-street parking, make sure to have a major credit card handy to pay the parking fee, as cash is not accepted.\n\nFor first-time visitors to Vegas, the idea of parking may be intimidating. However, it\u2019s easier than you might think to find accessible parking downtown. When mapping out your Las Vegas itinerary, decide where you\u2019ll be parking ahead of time. With a little planning, you can find the best parking and make your Vegas experience fun and hassle-free!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your Vegas adventure should be hassle free from start to finish \u2014 even when it comes to parking.
