Flying out of Las Vegas means planning for more than a boarding pass and a hotel checkout. Where you leave your car can change how much you spend and how stressful your morning feels. Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) has various parking choices, from quick-stop garages to budget lots and valet service. This guide covers each one, the current rates, and some practical tips so you can pick the right option for your trip.
LAS Parking at a Glance
Reid International Airport (Harry Reid) has in excess of 17,000 public parking areas across multiple parking garages and lots. They are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Parking is subject to availability, most of all during peak travel periods.
Parking is set up around the two passenger terminals at the airport, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. There is a garage and economy lot for each terminal. The main types are:
- Short-term parking is available for quick drop-offs and pick-ups.
- Extended parking for longer visits in the terminal garages.
- Economy and remote parking for the lowest daily rate.
- Valet for a done-for-you experience
- Reserve parking on the web in advance.
Short-Term Parking
Short-term parking facilities should be used when visiting briefly to assist a relative in checking-in or for meeting an arriving passenger. This is the most convenient form of parking, but also the most costly if you park there for an extended period.
Presently, the cost is $4 per hour during the first hour and $8 per hour up to two hours. Additional hours cost $5 per hour, with a maximum daily fee of $38. Since the cost per hour increases quickly, this type of parking facility is not suitable for your purposes.
Long-Term Parking
Long-term parking can be found in the Terminals 1 and 3 garages. This type of parking facility falls somewhere between short-term and economy parking facilities in terms of convenience and cost.
The present costs are $12 for the first two hours, followed by $4 per hour with a maximum daily cost of $20. These garages are located near the terminals, and will make your journey easier if you have young children, lots of luggage or are mobility impaired. Terminal 3’s long-term parking facility is also where discounted reservations fees apply, as described later.
Should you stay beyond 30 days, keep in mind that long-term parking comes with a 30-day limit without prior notice. If you stay even longer, please call Airport Parking at 702-261-5122 or email parkingservices@lasairport.com.
Economy and Remote Parking
Economy Parking is your affordable option if you do not mind extra walking and effort. This parking is open-air, but it can save quite a bit over a longer period of time.
The price is $6 per two hours, $2 for every additional hour after that, and the daily maximum is $14. Economy Parking exists at every terminal separately:
- Terminal 1 Economy is located near the Terminal 1 Long Term Parking Garage, and there is a free shuttle service that drives you to the terminal.
- Terminal 3 Economy is found on the eastern side of the Terminal 3 Parking Garage, and the parking is easily accessible by foot from this terminal.
It is always good to leave some extra time for the Terminal 1 Shuttle service.
Valet Parking
Valet parking is the premium type. In that case, you simply surrender your keys right by the terminal and get your car back once you come back without worrying about looking for a spot and taking a shuttle.
The valet parking costs $34 regardless of the time you spend there. If you need the best experience without wasting your time or having a tight schedule, you might go for valet parking, which is provided at both terminals.

Book Your Parking in Advance
LAS offers the opportunity to reserve your parking spot in advance via the airport’s online reservation system. Booking ahead of time is often cheaper and helps secure your spot on days when garage spots fill up fast. The same drive-up rates apply to passengers who do not make a reservation, and parking spaces may not be available.
The booking rates are:
- Terminal 1: $30 per day
- Terminal 3: $23 per day
- Terminal 3 Long-Term Parking (Saturday-Wednesday): from $16 per day
- Terminal 3 Long-Term Parking (Thursday-Friday): $20 per day
As far as discounts go, the Terminal 3 rate is the best deal because it is the lowest rate on the list compared to the drive-up rate.
Free Cell Phone Lot
If you are just there to pick someone up, you might not even have to pay for parking. There is a free cell phone waiting lot available at the airport where you can wait until your passenger is ready. After receiving a text message from your passenger saying that they have collected their baggage and are waiting for you by the curb, you can then come down to meet them.
Off-Airport Parking
There are privately managed parking lots or hotels close to the airport that provide parking along with shuttle services to the terminal. The prices will differ depending upon the service providers, and there might be options that cost you less than parking in the on-airport locations.
Before choosing such a service, make sure you know the location of the facility and the frequency of shuttle services to the airport. Also, go through some customer reviews and find out about any cancellation policies. It won’t be helpful if the shuttle does not operate fast enough.
Practical Tips for Choosing
The choice boils down to how far you’re willing to walk, your spending limits, and your capacity to manage additional steps. There are a few good practices to clarify your choice.
- Match the lot to your terminal: Find out which terminal your airline uses, then park there to save yourself a transfer.
- Holidays, weekends, and public holidays: Book ahead for busy periods. There is little space in the garage, so take the guesswork out and book a booking.
- Build in delay: If you are parking in an economy lot where a shuttle is necessary, set aside additional time for the ride.
- Roadwork plan: A series of lane closures in the connector tunnels will take effect through December 2026, based on the airport.
Conclusion
Harry Reid International Airport gives travelers plenty of ways to park, so the choice comes down to your priorities. Short-term parking suits quick visits, long-term garages balance cost and convenience, economy lots save the most money, and valet takes care of everything for a flat fee. Reserving ahead, in particular at Terminal 3, can cut your cost and give you peace of mind on busy dates.
Whatever you pick, be sure to check the rates at the airport’s website, align your lot with your terminal, and arrive early. A little forethought makes the start of your trip stress-free!
