johnny235: Where should I Park ??

[johnny235]

Driving to Las Vegas and would like to know where would be a good place to park on the strip to see the fountains at Bellagio.

Preferably a place that i could get in and out of easy.

Thanks for any info, John

At nitetime park at the Paris parking garage (or have the valet do it), then go up in the Eiffel Tower for a great view of the fountains. There's also street parking along the west side of the strip directly in front of the Bellagio lake, you can watch the fountains right from there. These parking spots are often taken but there are many of them, so they do open up for a minute or so. If you are lucky when driving by you can grab one.

Any valet will do, but with your interest in the fountains, Bally's might be most convenient. Why hassle with looking for a parking spot? Just drive up in front of Bally's, get your ticket from the valet and it's a very short walk to Paris, or across the street (via the people walkway) to enjoy the fountains. Take your time and enjoy.

When recovering the wheels, hand the valet $2.00 and off you go. Leave the parking hassles for the mall at home.

As others have mentioned, the least hassle would probably be to use the valet at Paris or Bally's.

Unless you're like me and have an aversion to valet parking. When I'm going anywhere in the center strip area, I usually use the self-park garage at Barbary Coast. The entrance and exit are right on Flamingo, just east of the strip, and the parking garage elevator lets you out right in the casino, where it is a short walk to any of the center strip properties.

It is free and there is no validation of any sort required. I confess to taking some childish little satisfaction in using the free parking at a place where I am not allowed to play blackjack. :-)

I also like the little parking garage at Casino Royale, but it can be difficult to find if you do not know your way around that area.
