More and more Las Vegas hotels are nixing free self-parking to visitors.
Most recently, Wynn Resorts, which owns and operates Wynn and Encore Las Vegas, announced the end of free self-parking starting Sept. 27. "The new parking policy is a result of the anticipated increased demand for parking at nearby attractions, and a higher volume of city-wide events," Wynn Resorts said in a statement. "The program is intended to ensure ample, free parking is available for guests to visit and enjoy the resort's dining, entertainment, and shopping amenities."
The Venetian and Palazzo, which ended free self-parking in July, is now charging $15 for the first four-hours for non-hotel guests. Parking for more than four hours will go up to $18 an hour. If you're parking on Friday through Sunday, it goes up even higher to $23 a day. Even hotel guests will have to pay too. It costs $18 to self-park there.
