Where Do You Stay in Las Vegas

Stay in a nice place and Uber to the strip. Be the same cost as a parking garage except you don't have to drive your truck in there and deal with that.

Sam's Town KOA. Free bus to downtown or strip. If you are out late you may need a taxi/uber for return.

There's 3 RV parks right in or near downtown.

Here's a link to the one at Circus Circus: RV Park

I wasn't aware Sam's Town has a free bus service. That may be our play.
Thanks

We stayed at the Sam's Town KOA earlier this year and we were pretty happy there.

The RV park at Circus Circus is a dump and always has been. The only plus is that it's right on the strip. It's pretty bad though.

You really need to keep your sense of humor turned on if you're going to camp in Vegas. The place has such a weird underbelly. On the other hand, having your RV with you brings such a strong sense of familiarity that it helps keep you grounded.

Circus Circus is charging the $32 resort fee on top of their daily rate now.

I can kind of picture why they do this, I guess. Their reservation system is pretty weird. They don't have the technology required to book & confirm through the office at the RV park, so all reservations go through the hotel "resort". What's worse is that when you show up to check in at the RV park, the park staff has to call into the hotel reservation line to get the confirmation & payment info. There's no hotline for them to call straight to the desk, so they have to dial up just like the public does, which means there's a 10-15 minute wait for them to call in and get their ducks in a row. This takes forever--horrible customer experience.

Stayed at LV RV Resort Nellies Boulevard early end May this year and also the year before. We don't toad, and whilst the RV Resort was great and reasonably priced, walking to and from to Sam's Town was a little nerve wrecking, especially at night!! Used the Shuttle at Sams Town whilst staying there to get to the strip and back = worked OK for 3 days when we were generally waiting for an overseas relative arrival at McCarran to come in.

On the return trip to drop off at McCarran, we booked into Oasis LV for 3 nights, just off South side of Strip and now they are charging $12 for their shuttle per person per day return trip with very limited schedule, so we Ubered up and down the strip and did Freemont as well. That worked brilliantly.

With no relatives on board we prefer to boondock, so in the past we've stayed at the back of Bally's/Paris, but they now charge for parking, albeit we did once stay O/N there. However, right south on the strip is the South Pointe, and they have a dedicated area for trucks and RV's to stay O/N complimentary which we did for two nights and it was perfect, and felt way more comfortable walking around wise than Nellies Boulevard.

Like we said, very much enjoyed the Las Vegas RV Resort for pricing etc near Sam's town but felt very very uncomfortable walking around the sketchy area of Sams Town vicinity. Seeing some interesting folks, police checking vehicles often and people urinating on the main boulevard against the small trees. To each their own, and YMMV, just sharing our experience this May.

PS: We used Passport America for both stays at the Oasis Las Vegas, so the rate was much more reasonable than the rack rates - Mon to Thurs both times.

Nellis bv, not Nellies, in case someone's looking for this.
