PARKING

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is an exciting event, but if you're planning to drive, be prepared for some parking challenges. With the influx of fans and the already-crowded Las Vegas Strip, parking during the F1 weekend will be more expensive and harder to find than usual. Here's a straightforward parking guide to help you navigate your options for a smooth experience.

Paid parking tips

If you're looking for convenient parking near the event, many hotels and casinos along the Strip will offer parking, but be prepared for higher-than-usual rates during the F1 weekend. Here are some common options:

• Hotels & Casinos: Popular spots like Paris Las Vegas and Caesars Palace will offer parking, but expect the rates to be higher than usual due to the event. Some locations may also offer valet services for additional convenience.
• Fashion Show Las Vegas Mall: This shopping mall is located on the Strip and offers parking, with rates typically ranging from $50 to $80 during the F1 weekend. It's a convenient option if you're willing to pay a little extra.

Free parking tips

If you're looking to save money and don't mind parking a little further from the event, there are a few free parking options available:

• Sahara Las Vegas: Located close to the Monorail, Sahara usually offers free parking.
• Trump International Hotel: This hotel usually offers free parking, and it's a bit off the main Strip, providing a less crowded parking experience.
• The Shops at Crystals: While located near high-end shopping, The Shops at Crystals offers free parking, making it a great option for fans willing to walk or take a quick ride to the event.

General parking tips

• Arrive early: To secure a spot, especially for free parking, it's best to arrive early. Popular areas will fill up quickly as race day approaches.
• Public transportation: If you’re parking farther from the venue, consider using the public transport to get to the race track. 
• Consider off-strip Hotels: Smaller, off-Strip hotels may offer more affordable and even free parking, and they can be a good option if you're willing to use public transport to get to the race.
