LAS parking costs when you fly

How much does it generally cost to park your car at or near the airport when you live in Vegas and fly someplace else on vacation? We saw a lot for $15 a day and that is very high! Surely there are other alternatives?
Thanks!

 

When we lived in Vegas, I think McCarren was $15 per day. Hell, even here in Milwaukee the airport parking is ~$13 per day, but there are plenty of off-site places to park for $5-6 per day.

I don't recall seeing those type options in Vegas. But, when we lived there, we only flew twice.

 

We pay about $7 or $8 a day in Columbus, Oh for off site. The airport runs a free shuttle.

 

National is $22 per day.

 

McCarran Terminal 1 economy $10/day

Why not park at a hotel and take a shuttle to the airport? I've heard of people leaving their car at a hotel for weeks at a time. Quite possibly cheaper than the parking, even if you do valet at the hotel.

 

So for a trip longer than 3 days it would be cheaper to park at MGM and Taxi to and from the Airport?

Oops, I see matguy beat me to it.

 

You're a Buckeye? I knew there was something I liked about you besides your trip reports.

 

BUCKEYE FOR SURE!! live 30 mins outside of Columbus.

 

For trips longer than a couple days we valet at MGM or NYNY and take a taxi to/from the airport. Weekend getaways we'll use the economy lot if we can't find a ride.

 

how long do they let you valet before they tow your car or something?

 

Canton-Akron Airport has a lot onsite that runs $7 daily. You can walk to the terminal or take a shuttle. I love our big little airport.

Cleveland is more expensive and less convenient but is still nothing like $15. Rather than pay that price, I'd be tempted to take a cab from home to the airport or to the nearest free shuttle.

 

The last two times I flew out of PHL I used a Groupon deal and I just bought another Groupon for an upcoming trip, $27 for up to 5 days. I think standard parking is around $13 per day and some off site lots are $9.

 

Not sure what the hotel policies actually are, but I've valeted at MGM for eight days without issue. When we did Italy for two weeks, I had my brother drive us.

 

If you're gone for quite a bit then calculate the difference between leaving your car at an off-site parking lot versus getting a round-trip car service to/from your home and the airport.

Personally, I do car service if I'm away from home for more than 4 days. I feel more comfortable knowing that my car is inside my garage than a parking lot where it can get damaged/broken into.

 

wow!! I was complaining when our 2 of 3 free parking lot airports started to charge! One is $3 a day for remote and the other is $5.

 

A couple weeks ago when we were taking the bus from Suncoast to downtown, we were joined by a local couple who were living near the casino. They left their car at Suncoast and took the WAX bus to the airport for $1 each.

I didn't ask for details about how the casino feels about it but they said they always do that. They were going out of town for 8 days.
