Two Las Vegas Hotels Ending Free Self-Service Parking

As part of the changing Las Vegas landscape, the days of pulling up and parking your own car for free appear to be over.

The Venetian and Palazzo hotels are ending free self-service parking, according to a report by the Fox station in Las Vegas.

Free parking used to be one of the perks in Las Vegas.

Not anymore.

This is just one more way for Las Vegas Hotel casinos to earn income as they look for new revenue streams.The two sister hotels on the Las Vegas Strip will end the practice later this summer, according to a spokesperson.

“After evaluating operations and business demand, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, which includes The Venetian, The Palazzo, and The Venetian Convention and Expo Center, will begin charging for self-parking later this summer. Grazie Rewards Premier members and above will receive complimentary self-parking. Grazie Rewards Elite members and above will continue to receive complimentary valet parking,” the Venetian Resorts confirmed to FOX5.

The move to no free parking is not only a revenue stream, but it cracks down on those who park for free and do not gamble at the hotel.
