Parking in downtown Las Vegas used to be so simple. These days, though, things have gotten a little more complicated.
A great solution to the downtown Las Vegas parking dilemma is a structure Las Vegas visitors and locals sometimes drive right by. It’s the official parking of Fremont Street Experience.
The Fremont Street Experience parking garage is located at 111 S. 4th Street, Las Vegas, Nevada.

With more than 1,300 spaces, the parking structure at Fremont Street Experience is massive, so it’s rarely full, even when large-scale events are happening downtown, including concerts at Fremont Street Experience or nearby music festivals or other events.
The parking structure is centrally located for all of Fremont Street, including the SlotZilla zip line, the Fremont East district and all along the Fremont Street Experience, including its Viva Vision canopy and five blocks of casinos, shops, restaurants and bars.
The Life is Beautiful music festival was nice enough to paint a giant mural on our parking garage, so now it’s even easier to spot. Even from the surface of the moon, actually.
The basic cost of parking at Fremont Street Experience is $4 per hour, with a daily maximum of $20. (The lost ticket charge is $20.)
On rare occasions, a flat fee will be charged, such as in the case of concerts or large-scale events nearby (such as the Life is Beautiful Festival). The flat fee varies by event, but is typically $20, or about half the cost of other parking lots in the area at times of peak demand. It’s not bragging if it’s true.
A little-known fact is that Fremont Street Experience offers an excellent deal for monthly parkers. The monthly fee for monthly parking is just $45. To sign-up for monthly parking, please visit the booth located at the exit of the parking garage.
For those who work in downtown Las Vegas, this is one of the best deals going!
Here’s how parking at Fremont Street Experience works, because parking is sort of boring until the moment you need (wait for it) parking!
When you pull into the Fremont Street Experience parking structure (look for the entrance off of 4th Street, between Fremont Street and East Carson Avenue.), grab a ticket from one of the two parking ticket machines.
Just push the button on the thingy to get your ticket (see photo below). Please don’t laugh. Sometimes, people don’t see the giant arrow.
Of course there’s small print. Life is a series of things with small print.
It’s important to remember the height limits in the Fremont Street Experience garage: 8-foot-2-inches. The height limits decrease as you move to the upper floors of the garage, so careful! Despite the fact it’s Las Vegas, nobody wants to see you with your top off.
It may seem obvious, but please take note where you parked.
We’ve tried to make it easier by having a different dice face on each parking level. The levels are also color-coded. Vegas veterans know you should always snap a photo of your floor level with your smartphone before starting your Fremont Street adventure.
When you leave, you can pay at kiosks on the mall level of the garage (the elevator lobby), or on the 2nd floor of the garage. Paying at the machine on the second floor of the garage is one of our best insider tips, because the kiosks on the first floor often have lines. The first floor kiosks are shown below.
If there’s a line on the first floor, make your way to the second floor kiosks to feel like a high roller.
Please note that while you can pay as you exit with a credit or debit card, no cash is accepted as you exit the garage.
Once your ticket is accepted, the arm raises (again, please, wait for the arm to raise).
It may seem obvious, but the Fremont Street Experience garage is, not surprisingly, the best place to park near Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas.
The Fremont Street Experience parking structure is very well lit and safe (our security officers work in the same structure), and the exit of the garage provides seamless access to the I-515 and I-15, back to the Strip.
Whether you’re visiting the casinos along Fremont Street, or the Container Park or bars along Fremont East, the garage at at Fremont Street Experience is a safe, easy, cheap place to park in downtown Las Vegas.

Can you tell me which street the exits of the garage is on? Thank you!
The exit is on Carson, between 4th Street and Las Vegas Boulevard.
THANKS!
I appreciate the info!
GREAT article. Direct, intelligent (intelligent enough) great use of colloquialisms and straight talk. Very entertaining and informative. THANK YOU! Do I get my 5 bucks for the plug now you promised? KIDDING! Seriously though. Great article. I liked your creative free-style.
who do I contact bout having my band play at Freemont Street
You can drop a line to bandsubmissions@vegasexperience.com.
So the sign/photo above says validation credits taken automatically but it is vague. I tried to snip and paste but there is no information on how to get ticket validated can I spend X amount of dollars and get it validated. So you don’t want us to know and ASK
Only in Vegas where GREED is part of the soul of the community.
Does the $40 monthly parking pass allow you to park 24hrs/10 days, if staying at a downtown hotel?
Hi, and thanks for your interest. There are rules about parking for extended periods of time. Except in special circumstances, vehicles can’t be left for more than 24 hours at a time. So, the scenario you’re describing wouldn’t work, unfortunately.
How close is the garage to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop?
Hi I was just doing some research about parking monthly parking pass in the downtown area . I’m starting a job next week as a runner for a restaurant and Club right in the area . I would like to get a parking pass, I would be parking around 7p or 8p at night and coming and going several times a shift it would be Thursday through Sunday would there be any problems with that thank you
Do you accept motorhome in the parking lot? what is the cost? The model is 25 ft.

When we returned to our vehicle, the passenger side had been keyed substantially! Someone wrote LEARN HOW TO PARK and scratched all up and down the side. Do we have any recourse?
Whoever wrote this deserves a raise!!! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I agree! 👍🏼
Where is the closest valet parking to Fremont Street? I need just as little walking as possible.
Four Queens, Binions and the D are all right on the Freemont Street Experience. None of them are far to walk except Main Street Station but even that one is just a small block to walk.
How about motorcycle parking? In a lot of garages motorcycles park for free in a designated area. Is this a thing here?
Motorcycles must pay as well.
Does any of the Hotels offer parking for veterans like some of the Hotels on the Strip?
Handicapped parking
CAN I PARK OVERNIGT
Cozy conversation about parking structures…cute!
Where do we go to get monthly parking at the 4th St. lot?
Do regular pick-up trucks (i.e. Ram 1500, Ford 150) fit especially has the height gets shorter?
