Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort will offer free self-parking for all guests

A 2018 survey by the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance found 37% of survey respondents avoid parking at Las Vegas Strip Casinos with paid parking and 29% avoid using any services from the casinos that charge guests for parking.

On 4/29/19, Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort announced that their garages will offer free self-parking for all guests starting May 1st, but that doesn’t mean other resorts (MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment Corporation) will follow in ending those fees.

The change takes place less than two years after Wynn Las Vegas implemented its paid parking program, which later allowed guests to offset parking fees by those who spent $50+ in the casino.

Michael Weaver (Wynn's spokesman), said the parking policy change was made to be in alignment with the company’s “position as a provider of luxury experiences for guests.”

Some of Wynn’s neighboring Las Vegas Resorts' parking policies may have also helped encourage the change, as Hooters, Tropicana, Venetian, Palazzo, Casino Royale, SLS Las Vegas, Circus Circus and Treasure Island offer free parking.

During MGM Resorts International’s first quarter earnings announcements, president and COO Bill Hornbuckle said Wynn’s “independent decision won’t change ours going forward.”, but MGM properties aren’t as surrounded by competitors offering free parking.

Wynn Las Vegas’s free self-parking is open to all guests and will not require validation; Valet parking will be free for overnight hotel guests (it is part of the resort fee) at both the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort according to the Monday statement.
