You'll get there! Drove by it on my way through Vegas about a month ago.
Villain, quite a few casinos in the Vegas area have truck parking. The Bellagio nor other central strip area casinos have parking to my knowledge, but the Cannery and numerous others do have. Most of the casinos not in the strip or downtown Vegas have truck parking, and nearly all casinos out away from cities everywhere welcome trucks. Most have "CDL specials" with low prices Sunday - Thursday.
There is one truck parking lot a couple miles SW of the Vegas strip - there is a crummy little casino right next to it that has a Denny's. It costs something like $12/night. I parked there and walked down to the strip and back once...lots of exercise...and then I had a pickup about a mile away.
Some companies have drop yard space in Vegas. My company (Pride Transport) has drop yard space in Vegas as well as near Reno.
Once you are solo, you'll have lots of opportunities to stop at casinos if you wish to.
My trainer says the company is pretty good about getting you close to places you want to take home time at if they run there. This is one of the coolest things about the job. I want to see everything! Your suggestions for a bucket list. Number 1 for me is I caught poker fever awhile back so I've got to go to the Bellagio (home of the big game) in Las Vegas.

Dave....What about truck parking at Sam's Town?
I'm not familiar with that one. I did just look it up...I don't see any truck parking there using satellite view, and no mention of it on their website... but if interested, one could call and ask.

If you like history Philadelphia is a cool place to take your home time.
Lots of that 1700s history
