The City of Las Vegas is offering free two hour parking downtown at metered on-street parking spaces on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through Jan. 4. The free parking is an effort by the city to encourage locals and visitors alike to come downtown and patronize local small businesses. Normally weekend parking downtown during daytime hours is not free. If you’re driving downtown and are parking at a meter, use the code “5555” to get two hours of free parking. The offer is good one time per day on the designated days.
