ℹ️ About this episode:
In this edition of LivinRvision, we're delving into the latest updates impacting RVers in Las Vegas. Like many cities across the country, Las Vegas is in a constant state of transformation to maintain its allure for tourists and residents alike. However, not all these changes are favorable, particularly for RV enthusiasts like us who frequent the area. Numerous spots along the Las Vegas Strip where we used to park for leisurely walks are now either off-limits or come with hefty fees.
Our goal is to offer valuable advice for anyone considering an RV journey to Las Vegas. 🧡😊🤓

For those that skip through this video without watching it's entirety, the "Big Changes" we talk about in this video are about RV parking near the Las Vegas strip and Freemont Street, not so much about camping changes. 👍🙂🤓

[@mikemadden865]

Great video! I talked with a newly retired friend who’s interested in becoming an RVer. I recommended your channel as you’ve shared traveling in Vinnie, Stella and now the Gretch. Your content will give him great insight as he begins his research! Safe travels!

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@sueanna_banana]

I know it's a little thing, but I really like it when your driving down the Interstate (or hwy) and you stop the camera for a slit second. So I can read where you are. Thanks!

[@HallelujahTravelers]

Thank you for all this. Appreciate how you guys always share tips. Having a sprinter now ourselves, this really helps. Hugs to you both 🤗

[@BobKeefe]

Thanks for the update. I always appreciate the great level of detail you give in your videos.

[@movinngroovin2104]

Never really wanted to go to Vegas anyway. We enjoy less crowded places.

[@judyzeigler3980]

Good to see your still out there. I haven't been well , so I've missed seeing you out there.😊

[@LivinRVision]

🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[@garythovson2587]

Yes Vegas is always changing. You have to put blinders on when walking down Fremont street! The high roller ride is awesome. Safe travels.🥸😎🤓

[@djspyder551]

I remember when all/most parking was free !! We would fly in, rent a car and have a lot of flexibility....Now we just fly in and use Uber and Lyft... Good video...Be Safe!

[@andiamoherewego]

Hmmm! Thanks for the update. I do overnights here when I am headed to Reno. Glad to know this before my annual visit. Safe journey!

[@feliciawilliams6865]

I love Y'all ❤️. Brian your voice is so calming, and Michelle, your energy is toxic😊

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you! 🧡😊🤓

[@jeffreycarter3066]

Another fantastic production. Thank you! ❤️

[@Banagal]

Sweet Vegas is changing...like everywhere else I guess. Thanks for the heads-up and eye rolls. LOL . I think they should sell blinders on the street. I'm glad you found a good parking place. Hope you had fun!

[@scottdupertuis1911]

Thanks for the info. Done so many conferences there over the years, really have no reason to go ever again. Great tips though, you guys help us all with your videos!

[@lifewithjosef]

The algorithm brought me by, I'm now subbing. I'm on my 3rd RV. First was a '29 C, second was a 39' A (the Moneypit), and now I have a 29' bumper pull toy hauler (for my Can Am Spyder). We full timed 5 years in the C, and a year in the A. I'm finding that Vegas is wanting a higher spending clientele, more spending per visitor, or "quality over quanity" Have you stayed at The Oasis, on South LVB? That was my go to, but my last rate check was $100 a night. So, I'm glad you pointed out the Main Street Station property, that may be my answer. Looking forward to more of your content!

[@sheilacaine]

Wow high dollar parking.

[@carolmcdaniel7693]

We love Vegas! Lots to see and do. ❤

[@LivinRVision]

Us too!

[@4LowRocks]

We always stay in our travel trailer at the park at Nellis Air Force Base. It's far enough off the strip to be away from that scene when we want to be away, but also close enough if we're going to see a show or an event. Thanks though for sharing what you've found with trying to find low cost accommodations.

[@LivinRVision]

Actually, this video was mainly about RV parking near the strip and Fremont Street, not really camping. We usually utilize our Thousand Trails membership when we are away from the strip, just to save money. We used to park at our favorite free parking spot and go for walks on the strip in the evenings because it forced us to get a longer walk. That has gotten harder to do now. The mall is really the only free place close by.

[@tuck-n-roll-rvlivin7181]

A lot of great info! Thanks so much for the video. We’re heading to Vegas shortly 😎

[@RVourWay]

Never knew about the Main Street RV park. Thanks!

[@jamestreanor182]

Great video, we will use this next time.

[@MonacoMike]

Vegas is no longer an inexpensive place to visit. It was also interesting to see "No Electric Vehicles Allowed" at many of the casino parking garages :-) We stopped by the Caesars palace bacchanal buffet last year and they give you 90 min to eat and get out, and it was, I think, a $90 per head.

[@teressarenslow5992]

Electric vehicles have batteries that could catch on fire... And burn for days! No electric vehicles allowed!

[@turnbullstravels735]

We’re always up at Lake Mead!

[@LivinRVision]

We always utilize our camping pass at Thousand Trails since we can stay there free, but we had to stay at Main Street Station the week before our reservations. This video however was about changes made for parking near the strip and Fremont Street areas. We like to walk in the evenings when we can on the strip and it was nice when we could park free at our “usual” spot and get a good walk in with a dash of people watching. 😂 Lake Mead is too far for us for nights that we work too late.

[@akneemoose3383]

We are all being out priced of the cities we live in. Food, parking etc…😢

[@je862]

It's mostly a rich man's game.

[@dianeslind5811]

I’m sure you’ve stayed at the Thousand Trails there. What do you think of it?

[@LivinRVision]

Yes. We do every time we go to Vegas and did after Main Street Station. It’s ok. A place to stay for free (with our membership). We’ve been there quite a few times and haven’t had any problems, but some others have. We’ve been there in the 40’ Class A (Vinny) and the Airstream (Stella) and the van. We didn’t mention this place because it didn’t fit the title of our video. Thousand Trails Las Vegas remains the same.

[@Grammapro]

Wow, gone are the days of .99 shrimp cocktail or free if you bought your change/tokens there. Thanks for the heads up!

[@kathycampbell8000]

Everyone looking to make a buck! Never been to Vegas, but like a lot of other things it’s on my bucket list. 😁 safe travels! I need to talk to you two!!

[@LivinRVision]

Send us a message anytime 🧡😊🤓

[@Cometman2007]

We’ve never camped in Vegas. We have thought about it. But I love the hotels in town. Is this a trend that you are seeing in resort areas? Limiting the number of camping opportunities? I have noticed that HH has reduced the number of available spots in wine areas. Specifically Temecula and Paso Robles.

[@LivinRVision]

We haven’t paid attention in other resort areas.

[@brownsignbrigade86]

We are weekenders and live on the east coast. One thing we like to do is fly into Vegas and rent an Escape Campervan. Last visit in October we overnighted at the Cracker Barrel (very safe). Valley of Fire State Park (AWESOME PARK!!!) is close and there is BLM land right outside the park to overnight at.

[@LivinRVision]

Yes we love Valley of Fire SP! Been there a few times and worth it each time.

[@pattidavis8043]

Fun

[@craftyclarke2514]

Dang! Someone needs to share this video with Vegas City Council P&Z! That is not optimal for quite a few travelers. Your time on Fremont St. looked a little suspish. lol Like the cruise you want us to book! JK!!!

[@LivinRVision]

😂 👍🏻😊🤓

[@ly2sing]

Sounds like they don’t want RVers. That case, wouldn’t go there.

[@LivinRVision]

It seems like they are trying to keep their parking lots from getting filled up with RVers using them as a place to stay the night. It doesn’t take many RVs to take up a lot of parking space. Could be wrong but that seems to be the case.

[@mrsvoyage]

Parking arent free anymore

[@LivinRVision]

Very few places

[@aeroringordmngr8739]

Ah Vegas. Be in and out a bunch of times later this Month. Have you guys moved on yet? DW

[@LivinRVision]

We did. We were trying to figure out a way to stick around to see ya but had to keep moving. Hope we can meet up sometime soon. Enjoy your time in Vegas and hope the shows a great success.

[@steveminton1099]

Looks like Vegas is now off my list. Too bad

[@uniquecampingmarine]

Fantastic video!! Saving this for when we head to Las Vegas! 🙌

[@billpitts1034]

Wow! That's a busy place. That one is not on my bucket list. 🙂

[@LivinRVision]

😂 👍🏻

[@snowqueen4md]

Hi Brian, what’s the name of that rv park? Thank you Brian!

[@LivinRVision]

Which one? Main Street? Or Circus Circus? The names should be mentioned in the video.

[@teressarenslow5992]

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure if we'll be visiting Vegas soon but I appreciate knowing these tips. It looks like you guys had fun!

[@FromShetoMe]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@bchlvrbob]

Amazing, in 2005 I stayed at MS station campground. Registered at the hotel , campground was $12 per night or $60 weekly! We paid the $60 and I told the desk clerk we would leave when tired of Vegas or broke. I put $10 in a poker machine mounted in the bar, hit for $1200, sprang for that great buffet for the family, left town with the rest of their money couple days later. Warm place in my heart for Main Street Station to this day! Love your videos, keep them coming.

[@LivinRVision]

Wow! We would have done the same thing. We don’t gamble much but when we do it is a small amount like that. lol Then when we do win, we walk away with a smile and not depressed. 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video. 😊🤓

[@HillabillyHippie]

I used to have to work in Vegas. Not somewhere I ever care to go again. I will ‘visit’ vicariously through you 😁

[@Chuck-Pat]

Short & sweet this week but still colorful 👍

[@AC-Cowboy41]

Nothing like a Blue State/City to offer its amenities for tourism...."Come see our wonderful city and the fake, brazen, depraved lifestyle that we have to offer!! Just be sure that when you arrive, leave your left arm and both ears as payment for visiting our fair city! 🙄🙄

[@WWPlaysHoldem]

Greed has run amuck in Las Vegas. They would rather you just throw your money out of the window as you drive by!

[@rickwalden7022]

Looks like vegas is not people friendly it's OK there are casinos in almost every state.

[@rickcampbell4920]

How was the security at the Main Street campground, and highway noise? Thank you!

[@safepetproducts]

Yes, I wonder. I've stayed away from there, always seems a bit sketchy. And I often stay at circus circus!

[@martimcgaughey249]

We stayed there 4 nights in March. They do have security drive by cameras. We felt good about our stay and safe walking over to freemont. I would not leave anything out.

[@rickcampbell4920]

Good way to put it, we always stay at Sam's town KOA, a bit further but seems safer

[@safepetproducts]

@@martimcgaughey249 is it gated?

[@martimcgaughey249]

@@safepetproducts yes and no .. anyone can walk in from the Main Street station parking lot. And yes it’s right under the frwy . I would not walk blocks away from Fremont street. But felt safe just walking over to it.

[@sherieragan765]

Thanks bunches for the updates! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻

[@harterbob]

After retiring from the military I flew business jets for a company that catered to wealthy clients. Flew into and out of Vegas many times. Not a fan. Sorry all these changes have a negative impact on your travels there, but it makes me glad I don’t care for Vegas.

[@sidneyfloyd7188]

I enjoy y'all adventures. It's very entertaining and informative. If you're still in the Las Vegas area are you planning any meet ups? Let me know cause I am very interested in meeting with y'ou guys.if y'all are planning any meet up while in Las Vegas NV

[@LivinRVision]

We’re so glad you enjoy the videos! We are not in Vegas anymore. Never even considered doing a meetup there. Great idea. Maybe next time. 🧡

[@randyshay7280]

👍

[@grillinandchillinwithdeb]

❤

[@ly2sing]

I’d get a wet bag and take my clothes in the shower with me.

[@ly2sing]

Shuttle services might be able to make some big bucks just shuttling RVers from the parks situated away from the strip and on the outskirts of town; at a fair fee.

[@jackmccarty1421]

I am surprised you did not mention Thousand Trails.

[@LivinRVision]

It’s clear over on Boulder Hwy and nothing has really “changed” there to make a mention for this video.

[@SuperSushidog]

Whenever we visit Vegas, we camp at the Government Wash Campground on Lake Mead. We get into the Lake Mead Recreation Area for free with our America the Beautiful pass. You can stay there 2 weeks for free, which we prefer anyway as it's in a pretty, peaceful wilderness area outside of town. By that time, we need to dump and fill, so we go to the Las Vegas Bay Campground for free dump and fill. Last year we stayed at the Las Vegas Bay CG for a couple weeks for only $10/night with our old fart pass. You could also stay at the Callville Bay Campground, for the same price, which is about the same distance from Government Wash in the other direction (farther away from Vegas). We like the nearby Henderson Casinos too (The Emerald Isle Casino has the best ribs and they're cheap). Henderson is not far from the South Point Casino, which has the best buffet in Vegas, IMHO - that is if you are willing to wait in a long line (because everyone else knows what a fantastic deal it is too) to dine there.

[@LivinRVision]

This video is actually about “parking for RVers and how it’s changed”near the strip and downtown areas. Thanks for the great info though. 🧡

[@SuperSushidog]

@@LivinRVision Yes, I get it. But now that free/cheap parking in Vegas has become harder to find, I thought I'd give people who can no longer afford to park near the strip a free/cheap alternative to still RV Vegas on the cheap. Thanks for your channel.

[@LivinRVision]

@SuperSushidog that’s why we utilize our Thousand Trails membership which is free to stay in Vegas and still fairly close. We had to stay at Main Street Station the week before our reservation at Thousand Trails. We didn’t talk about that since it wasn’t the subject of the video. Thanks

[@jjones5424]

Not for me anymore......I spent many years at the SIA Ski Show in Vegas in the 80's and 90's. But the city has changed.
