Driving and Parking in Las Vegas

I am driving to vegas (to play in wsopme), so I will have my car. I have never been to vegas before.

Anyone with local knowledge have any advice/info about driving and parking in vegas, esp. the strip and downtown.

Every casino has plenty of parking...the Rio is not on the strip so if you stay elsewhere and drive over there...be sure to park in the back by the convention center so you don't have to walk all the way across the casino.

Wrong answer for this time of year. The parking by the construction center is hotter than hell. Drive past the Rio and take the first main street north. Park in the covered parking garage.

It's a bit of a walk, but the inside of your car won't be 300 degrees.

Yep, it'll only be 140. (outside temp + exhaust fumes heat from inside the garage) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
