Best immediate option: book a third-party bag-storage provider (examples: Bounce, Vertoe, LuggageHero) located within a short drive of the LAS terminals. Typical rate range for a standard suitcase is roughly $6–$12 per item per day; many vendors offer hourly or same-day windows and lower rates for multi-day bookings. Reserve online, note the provider’s exact drop-off address, and bring government ID plus the reservation confirmation on your phone.
If you are departing the same day, consider the carrier’s checked-bag solution: most major U.S. airlines charge about $30–$35 for the first checked piece on domestic routes, with additional fees for overweight or oversized items. For overnight stays near the Strip, use your hotel’s bell desk–most properties will hold baggage for registered guests at no charge; ask for a tag and keep the receipt.
Within the terminal, speak with airline ticket counters or the customer service desks for immediate guidance; lost-and-found handles abandoned items but does not provide public coin-operated storage. Use dedicated storage search apps to compare locations, hours (many operate roughly 07:00–22:00), cancellation policies, and insurance limits before committing. Photograph your items and the claim ticket and keep receipts until items are reclaimed.
Short-term baggage storage options at LAS
No self-service short-term storage exists inside LAS terminals; choose one of three practical options: hotel concierge holding (often complimentary for guests or $3–10 per bag for non-guests), app-based drop-off services operating near the terminal (Bounce, Vertoe – typical fee $5–12 per item/day), or shipping items via FedEx/UPS/USPS from a nearby storefront (shipping from ~$20 depending on size/weight).
Booking and processing tips: reserve a slot with an app-based provider before arrival; bring photo ID and a copy of booking confirmation; confirm maximum dimensions and insurance limits; photograph contents and tag bags with name/contact. Use a compact weighing tool to avoid oversize fees: best luggage scale aaa battery.
Handle wet items separately–dry or bag them prior to drop-off to prevent damage and surcharges; for efficient drying at home or on the road consult: best way to dry an umbrella. Keep high-value items with you and ask the provider about liability caps and written receipts.
If an airline-held bag needs temporary storage, contact your carrier’s baggage service desk at the specific terminal or check the LAS website’s lost-and-found and baggage pages for current contact details and operating hours.
Which terminals have on‑site bag storage and exact pickup points
Use off‑site bag‑storage services; both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 lack on‑site self‑service storage. Book ahead and select one of the standard pickup points below used by courier/storage companies operating at LAS.
- Terminal 1 – Arrivals / Baggage Claim (Lower Level): Meet at the west end of Carousel 1, adjacent to the Ground Transportation doors (curbside Door 2). Common meeting spot for handoff and delivery van parking.
- Terminal 3 – Arrivals / Baggage Claim (Lower Level): Meet at the rideshare/taxi curb outside Door 3, near the elevator bank by Carousel 7. Preferred meeting spot for same‑day pickups and drops.
- Rental Car / Ground Transportation Center: If your booking specifies the consolidated rental car or ground‑transit hub, meet at the Ground Transportation Center entrance (shuttle stop / marked pickup zone). Useful when providers operate from the rental car shuttle area.
- Strip hotel delivery/pickup: Many services offer delivery to nearby hotel lobbies or bell desks on the Las Vegas Strip; specify hotel name, main lobby entrance and bell desk as the exact pickup point.
Practical tips:
- Confirm the exact door number and carousel with your chosen provider before arrival; most list the pickup point in the reservation and on the driver’s app.
- Allow a 20–30 minute window for meetups at terminal curbs; curbside traffic can delay handoffs.
- Carry booking confirmation and a photo ID; some providers require ID and to scan QR codes for release.
Operating hours, fees and maximum locker dimensions
Use automated storage units for round‑the‑clock access; staffed baggage counters run roughly 05:30–23:00 on weekdays and 06:00–21:00 on weekends (times vary by operator, confirm on arrival).
Hours
Automated units: 24/7 access with PIN or QR retrieval. Staffed service desks: typical staffed window hours listed above; staffed holds require collection within desk hours unless prearranged after‑hours pickup with the vendor.
Fees, payment and size limits
Standard rate structure (per 24‑hour period): small unit $8, medium unit $12, large unit $18. Short‑term hourly option often available: $3 for first hour, then prorated to daily rate. Maximum continuous unattended storage commonly capped at 30 days; extended storage incurs daily surcharge or transfer to offsite facility.
Typical internal dimensions (width × depth × height): small 14″×14″×18″ (36×36×46 cm), medium 23″×14″×18″ (58×36×46 cm), large 23″×29″×18″ (58×74×46 cm). Maximum recommended weight per unit: 50 lb (23 kg). Items exceeding any dimension or weight require special handling and often a surcharge ($25–$50) or advance arrangement; long items such as skis or instruments frequently need dedicated oversized storage.
Accepted payments: major credit/debit cards and contactless wallets on automated bays; staffed counters may accept cash but card preferred. Keep the printed or digital receipt until retrieval; dispute or refund requests must include that receipt and are handled by the vendor (malfunction claims usually accepted within 24 hours).

Step-by-step: Store, pay for and reclaim a storage unit
Use the staffed baggage service counter in your terminal for documented deposits and ID verification; use self-service units for fast, contactless holds under 72 hours.
Drop-off and payment
1) Prepare items: secure zippers, place valuables in carry-on, remove prohibited goods such as open containers and hazardous materials. 2) Present government photo ID plus boarding pass or travel itinerary at the counter or follow on-screen prompts at a kiosk. 3) Select unit size; staff or kiosk will assign a unit number and record the declared hold period. 4) Pay with chip card, contactless mobile wallet, or major debit; request a printed receipt and/or a digital QR code or numeric PIN. 5) Photograph the receipt and code, attach the printed tag to the bag, and note the unit number in your phone.
Pick-up and verification
1) Arrive within posted service hours with the receipt and the same ID used at drop-off. 2) For staffed returns, hand over the receipt and ID; staff will confirm the record and release the item. For self-service returns, scan the QR or enter the PIN at the unit keypad; wait for confirmation light before opening. 3) Inspect contents while staff or camera is present; sign the release form only after confirming condition. 4) If the code or receipt is lost, present government ID and a payment card used at drop-off; staff will perform identity verification and log the release. 5) Report any damage immediately and keep both printed and digital receipts until any dispute is resolved.
Off‑site bag storage near LAS: providers, rates and booking
Recommended providers and typical rates
Book with Bounce, Stasher, Vertoe or LuggageHero for locations on the Strip and downtown within 1–6 miles of LAS terminals. Typical pricing per item: Bounce ~$5/day, Stasher $6–$12/day, Vertoe ~$5.95/day, LuggageHero $1/hour with a daily cap around $12. Hourly options usually available only on LuggageHero and select Bounce listings; expect weekend and convention‑period surcharges.
Most partners are hotels, shops and small retail outlets; 24/7 service exists at several central‑Strip partners but many counters close between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM. Oversize pieces (rough guideline 32 x 20 x 16 in) or sports equipment may require advance confirmation or a higher fee; check the item size policy on the listing before booking.
How to reserve, drop off and retrieve
Steps: 1) Open provider website or app and search “LAS” or “Las Vegas”; 2) pick a convenient partner (enter address, distance to your hotel or terminal); 3) select dates and time window and pay by card – instant confirmation issued with partner address, contact phone and booking code; 4) bring photo ID and booking code to the partner at drop‑off, sign a short receipt and keep the digital voucher; 5) pick up during the partner’s stated hours, present ID and voucher. Late pickups are normally charged an extra day; cancellations typically free up to 24 hours before drop‑off but check each provider’s policy.
Practical tips: reserve at least 24 hours ahead for peak travel days and conventions; filter results for “24/7” or “same‑day drop off” if needed; verify operating hours on the voucher because partners change hours seasonally; confirm distance to your terminal – most Strip locations are a 5–15 minute taxi/ride‑share from LAS terminals. For valuable items, choose listings with explicit insurance coverage and save the provider’s emergency contact in case of access or retrieval issues.
