Self-Parking: What You Pay and How It Works
Hotel guests pay $20 per day for a full 24-hour period with unlimited in-and-out access. Your room key ties directly to your parking. The same key grants access to other MGM Resort garages on the Strip — Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, ARIA — at no extra charge during your stay.
Non-guests pay $20 weekdays and $25 on weekends. There is no grace period. The daily rate applies the moment you pull a ticket. Pay at the automated kiosks near the elevator banks before returning to your car. The exit gates have no cashiers.
The garage entrance is off MGM Grand Drive, accessed by turning east from Las Vegas Boulevard onto Tropicana Avenue. This keeps you away from the pedestrian congestion directly in front of the resort.
Each garage level is color-coded. Take a photo of the pillar nearest to your car before walking away. After a long night, every concrete level looks the same.
Valet Parking
The main valet drop-off is at the grand entrance off Las Vegas Boulevard. The rate is $40 per day flat, every day of the week.
Hotel guests get unlimited in-and-out access. Text the valet desk using the link on your digital ticket when you need the car. Non-guests pay $40 each separate time they use the service.
The $40 goes to the resort. Tip the driver $3 to $5 cash when your car is retrieved.
Free Parking Options
Nevada residents: A valid Nevada driver’s license gets you the first three hours free. Skip the kiosks. Drive to the exit gate, insert your ticket, and scan the barcode on the back of your license. The gate lifts automatically. This benefit is suspended during major events and holidays.
MGM Rewards members: Pearl status and above park free. Gold and above get free self-parking and valet. The MGM Rewards Mastercard automatically grants Pearl status. Active military and veterans can bring a military ID to the rewards desk for an automatic Pearl status upgrade.
MGM Grand Garden Arena Access
If you are attending a concert or boxing match at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, aim for the third level of the self-parking garage. The pedestrian walkway from the garage feeds into the District area of the casino. From there it is about a ten-minute walk through the resort promenade to the arena doors. Follow the overhead arena signs rather than navigating by instinct — the casino floor is large and the pool complex sits between the garage and the arena.
Special Events and Oversized Vehicles
During major events at T-Mobile Arena or Allegiant Stadium, MGM implements event parking pricing. Rates can reach $50 per day and the Nevada locals free window is suspended. If you are dining at the MGM Grand on a game day, factor this into your budget before you arrive.
The parking garage cannot accommodate lifted trucks or RVs. Hotel guests can park oversized vehicles in the dedicated outdoor lot at Excalibur across the street for approximately $50 per day.
