Question: Are there free quick-stop areas at the Strip casinos that charge for parking?

Answer: Not usually, but this is the one situation where there’s a little bit of grace. The first hour is free at all of the pay garages with the exception of one, so you can run in to make a sports bet, visit a store, have a quick drink with a friend, etc. The one casino with no free parking is the Cosmopolitan, where it’s $7 for one to four hours for non-casino guests.
