Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking is one of UNLV’s biggest topics of debate. Because the campus is landlocked, UNLV officials and architects have strategically seized much of the school’s parking to make room for new buildings. Five parking garages are factored into the campus's master plan, and some construction headway has been made, but it'll be a while until the blueprints are a reality. The Thomas & Mack parking lot rarely fills up except when the rodeo is in town. The rodeo always comes to Las Vegas (thus, UNLV) during finals week and causes total chaos on campus. To make way for horses, stalls, and dirt, hundreds of student spots are roped off, causing students to be late for class because they can’t find a parking place anywhere.

Additionally, with new buildings encroaching on the vacant spaces and the student body ever-growing, parking lots are slowly being sliced away to make way for new construction projects. Shuttles are now in service to drive students, faculty, and staff to the edge of campus from their faraway vehicles, with the wait being eight to ten minutes, but few people are utilizing them.

Parking at Unlv

For the most part there is plenty of parking available at unlv. The only thing i have a have a problem with is when there are special events at the thomas and mack the traffic is absolutely MASSIVE and the school doesnt let us know when those special events are held which leads to people being late to class or missing it!

Parking Is Okay

Usually full 8-3 but after that it's pretty spacious and you can find parking anywhere.

What Parking?

Parking could be a big hassel if you live off campus and want to arrive later in the day. Ususally if you arrive by 10 am at least you should have no problem finding a spot, if you park in the parking garages. Trying to find a parking space in the open around campus is crazy. You will drive around for who knows how long. If your lucky somebody will be walking out to leave, but you never know. You better pay for permits too because if you don't and park on campus be sure to find a boot on your tire when you get back!
