Where do you park in Las Vegas?
Most hotels have large self-parking lots that are absolutely free. Another plus, found at most hotels is free valet service. It is very convenient and all you need to do is step out of your car and into the casino. On your way out of the casino you hand them your ticket and they grab your car for you. You tip the attendant a dollar or two and you are off. This saves you the usual long walk to the parking lot.
You should also realize that taxicabs are very convenient and they lessen the chance of you drinking and driving. Walk out front of the casino and catch a cab back to your room and you do not have to worry about a thing.
The Las Vegas Monorail also runs up and down the Las Vegas Strip. While it is convenient in some hotels it is out of the way in others. If you don't have to drive, don't do it. Traffic is always bad and you should not be stressed while on vacation.
