Venetian Parking: Where the Garages Are and Who Parks Free

Here's the part that catches Venetian visitors off guard: unlike the MGM and Caesars megaresorts nearby, the Venetian charges even its own hotel guests to self-park. Self-parking is paid across the board — you pay whether you're staying the night or just crossing the canal for dinner — with a short list of exceptions (Venetian Rewards Sapphire members, Nevada residents for the first few hours). The upside: two large garages, some of the best EV charging on the Strip, and direct access off both Koval Lane and Sands Avenue. Below: which garage to use, where valet is, and who actually parks free.

The Venetian and Palazzo share one connected property at 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South, mid-Strip, across from Treasure Island. Since 2022 it has run independently — Apollo Global Management operates the resort and VICI Properties owns the real estate — so it sits outside both MGM Rewards and Caesars Rewards. That matters for parking: the free-parking perks you get at Bellagio or Caesars simply don't apply here. The Venetian runs its own loyalty program, Venetian Rewards, with its own tiers and its own rules.

The Two Venetian Garages — and Which One to Use

The Venetian and Palazzo each have their own self-park garage, and picking the right one saves a long indoor walk on arrival.

The Venetian garage sits behind the resort on the east side. There are two ways in: from Las Vegas Boulevard, pull in past the lake at the front of the resort and follow the parking signs around back; or come off Koval Lane, on the street that runs beneath the Las Vegas Monorail track. Use this garage if you're headed for the Venetian towers, the sportsbook, or the Strip-facing side of the casino floor.

The Palazzo garage is reached from Sands Avenue (and Las Vegas Boulevard) on the north end of the complex. Use it if your room is in the Palazzo tower or you're meeting someone at the north end of the Grand Canal Shoppes — parking here can save the 5 to 7 minute walk across the connected casino floor.

Clearance. The Venetian garage posts an oversized-vehicle height limit around 8 feet 3 inches — taller than many Strip garages. The Palazzo garage is lower, roughly 7 feet, so measure a tall SUV, van, or small RV before you commit, and confirm at the entrance booth if you're near the limit. Clearance varies by level and ramp, so treat these as guides, not guarantees.

Getting From the Garage Onto the Casino Floor

Both garages feed directly into the connected Venetian–Palazzo casino floor, but which garage you pick decides where you come out. The Venetian garage lands you on the south, Strip-facing side, near the Venetian and Venezia tower elevators and the sportsbook. The Palazzo garage brings you in on the north side, near the Palazzo tower elevators. The two ends are a 5 to 7 minute walk apart across one continuous floor, so if you park on the wrong end for your room, you've got a hike.

Once you're inside, the property is famously easy to get lost in — three towers, a mall built like a meandering Italian street, and few sight lines. For which tower your elevators are in, where the Grand Canal Shoppes and the Sphere entrance sit, and how to find the exit without circling back to the gondola dock, see our guide to how to navigate inside the Venetian and Palazzo.

Venetian Valet: Front Drives and the Shoppes

Valet is available at the front drives of both the Venetian and the Palazzo, plus a third valet at the Grand Canal Shoppes reached through the Venetian garage. Valet is complimentary for Venetian Rewards Ruby members and above and for Tower Suite guests; everyone else pays a daily valet rate plus tip. On a busy night the Palazzo front drive is often the calmer of the two entrances — worth knowing when the main Venetian porte cochere backs up before a show.

What Venetian Parking Costs — and Who Parks Free

Self-parking at the Venetian is paid for essentially everyone — and that's the trap, because at the MGM and Caesars resorts nearby, registered hotel guests park free. Here, even hotel guests pay a daily self-park fee (a lower rate than non-guests, but not free). You're billed per day rather than per exit, so same-day in-and-out is included on one charge.

The exceptions are narrower than at an MGM property:

Venetian Rewards members. Sapphire tier and above get complimentary self-parking; Ruby tier and above add complimentary valet. It's free to join, so enroll before you arrive. Nevada residents. Scan a valid Nevada driver's license at a self-parking kiosk for the first few hours free (about three) — but the resident perk is suspended when event parking rates are in effect. Tower Suite guests get complimentary valet.

For everyone else, the rate isn't a single fixed number. It varies by day of week and spikes during major events and conventions. Because the figures move, we don't publish dollar amounts here; check the live rate on the official Venetian parking page before you go.

EV Charging at the Venetian and Palazzo

This is where the Venetian beats most of the Strip. Both garages have EV charging, and there's charging at valet as well. The Venetian garage has charging stations including a Tesla connector; the Palazzo garage carries the larger bank, with multiple charging spaces across levels P1 and P2 (two of them accessible) on newer high-speed chargers. Charging is paid by the hour and adds an idle fee once your car finishes and a grace period lapses, so move it when it's done. Valet offers complimentary charging subject to availability. If an EV charger is a deciding factor for you, the Palazzo garage is the surer bet.

Parked. Now find your room without crossing both resorts.

The two garages open onto opposite ends of one connected floor — park on the wrong end and the towers are a 5 to 7 minute walk. Casino Compass maps the garage-to-casino-floor route inside the Venetian, Palazzo, and 20+ other Las Vegas properties, so you head the right way the first time.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft

Uber and Lyft use designated rideshare zones at the property. Follow the posted rideshare signs from the casino floor — don't try to get picked up directly on Las Vegas Boulevard, where stopping isn't allowed and your driver can't pull in. From deep inside the Grand Canal Shoppes it's a longer walk out to the pickup point than you'd expect, so budget a few extra minutes.

Practical Tips

Match the garage to your tower. The Venetian garage favors the Venetian and Venezia towers and the Strip side; the Palazzo garage favors the Palazzo tower and the north end. Knowing your tower before you turn in shaves the cross-floor walk — or just valet at the closer front drive and skip the garage decision on a busy night.

Accessible parking. ADA-accessible spaces are available in both garages, and the Palazzo garage includes accessible EV charging spaces on level P2. For the spots closest to your tower and a step-free route to the floor, ask the parking attendant or bell desk when you arrive.

Events push rates and fill garages. Concerts, conventions at the Venetian Expo, and Sphere shows all raise parking rates and pack the garages — and the Nevada-resident free window is suspended while event rates are in effect. On a big night, valet or a rideshare can be the saner move.

You pay per day, so use the day. Because self-parking bills per day rather than per exit, you can come and go on one charge. But if you're hopping to a neighbor, walking usually beats moving the car: it's a straightforward Strip walk south to Bellagio or north toward Wynn and Encore — leave the car in the garage.

Garage locations and access roads, the two-garage split, the valet locations, EV charging, the clearance figures, and the free-parking rules (Venetian Rewards Sapphire and Ruby tiers, the Nevada-resident window, Tower Suite valet) reflect The Venetian Resort's public information as of July 2026. Dollar rates are deliberately omitted because they change by day and event — confirm the current rate on the official Venetian parking page before you arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is parking free at The Venetian?

Not for most visitors. Self-parking at the Venetian is paid, including for registered hotel guests — a key difference from the MGM and Caesars resorts nearby, where hotel guests park free. It's complimentary for Venetian Rewards Sapphire members and above (self-parking) and Ruby members and above (valet), and for Nevada residents for the first few hours with a valid Nevada driver's license scanned at a kiosk. Everyone else pays a daily rate that varies by day and event. Confirm the current rate on the official Venetian site before you arrive.

How much is self-parking at The Venetian?

The Venetian doesn't post a single flat rate. Self-parking is priced per day and shifts with the day of week and what's happening on the Strip — conventions at the Venetian Expo, Sphere shows, and holidays all push rates higher. Hotel guests pay a lower daily rate than non-guests, but neither parks free. Because the numbers move, check the live rate on the official Venetian parking page before your visit. Venetian Rewards Sapphire-and-above members and Nevada residents (first few hours) park free.

Where is the Venetian parking garage?

There are two. The Venetian garage sits behind the resort and is reached from Las Vegas Boulevard (past the front lake) or from Koval Lane, on the street beneath the Las Vegas Monorail track — use it for the Venetian towers and the Strip-facing casino floor. The Palazzo garage is reached from Sands Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard on the north end — use it for the Palazzo tower. The two garages open onto opposite ends of one connected casino floor, a 5 to 7 minute walk apart.

Do hotel guests pay for parking at The Venetian?

Yes. Unlike the MGM and Caesars megaresorts, the Venetian charges registered hotel guests a daily self-parking fee. It's lower than the non-guest rate, but hotel guests do not park free. To skip the fee you need Venetian Rewards Sapphire status or higher (free self-parking), Ruby status or higher (free valet), a Tower Suite booking (complimentary valet), or Nevada residency (first few hours free). Enrolling in Venetian Rewards is free.

Does The Venetian have EV charging stations?

Yes, and more than most Strip resorts. Both the Venetian and Palazzo garages have EV charging, and valet offers complimentary charging subject to availability. The Venetian garage includes a Tesla connector; the Palazzo garage carries the larger bank of high-speed chargers, including accessible spaces. Charging is paid by the hour with an idle fee after your car finishes, so move it when it's done. The Palazzo garage is the safer bet if a charger is essential.

From the Garage to Your Tower, Mapped

Knowing which garage to use is half the battle. Seeing the indoor path — out of the garage, across the connected floor, and to the right tower elevators — is the other half.
