Vanlife in Vegas

Vanlife in Vegas

Are there good places to safely overnight stealth park and live in a Van while in Vegas?

Which Casinos have good parking lots that can accommodate big travel vans, and allow easy overnight parking without hassles?

Most parking garages are too short for the tall camper vans... need outdoor parking. And I don't want to park anywhere where I might get a knock on my door at 2am with casino security.

Any good RV parks in the Vegas area?

Other suggestions on how to live out of a Van while in Vegas are much appreciated. Anyone want to rent out their driveway?

Thanks...

Don't go to BLM land because floods. lol, alrighty then. I would also avoid airports because planes and cities because trains.


BLM are cool, I stayed at a few in Arizona on my way here, but I'd like to stick closer to the strip.

So far Walmarts have been my go to. Plenty of them around here. I've stayed at 3 different ones my first 3 nights without any problems.

Which ones did you stay at? I thought they all have the "no overnight parking" thing and also in Henderson there is a city ordinance banning overnight parking.

Don't know. I didn't see any signs saying no overnight parking at any of them. Saw one other camper when I pulled in yesterday.

3615 S Rainbow Blvd

7200 Arroyo Crossing Pkwy

6005 S Eastern Ave


I came across this van video of a van lady who states she parks at Whole Foods for the Super Bowl:

It should be noted that one can park at the Craig Road Cracker Barrel but not the Silverton Cracker Barrel since the Silverton lot is owned by the Silverton Casino which prohibts camping.


Camp on BLM land, play poker, profit! lol at flooding, I’ve camped on blm and forest service land to grind, it’s a great option, sure I’ve woken up in a pool of water but that’s just the cost of doing business.

Can you leave your tent there while you go to the casino? And what is the cheapest BLM? Is it at Red Rock or the Lake Mead location?


I got 6 spots I'm rotating between now, all 10-15 min drive from the strip.

Twice security drove up to me at Walmart to say I can't park there overnight, but can do so in the Lowes/iHop lot right next door.

So far so good


Down by the river imo


What’s BLM stand for in regards to the places you guys are talking about?

I just know it as Black Lives Matter.

Bureau of Land Management. They maintain & police Federal owned land that is not a National Park. Most of the Red Rock area is owned by the Federal government but is not a National Park, hence their presence there.

OTOH, Lake Mead and a lot of that surrounding area is a National Park and is maintained and policed by the National Park Service. Except Hoover Dam which has it's own police force & staff.

Electric vehicles might be a good option for nomads sleeping in vehicles since if one is charging at a charging station then one has the right to sleep in his vehicle and cannot be told to leave since he is a customer of the charging station and logistically is precluded from leaving until the charge completes.
