I am going to Las Vegas for a day or two at most to take care of some business and to avoid crowds, I won’t be on the casino floors or going to any night clubs or shows.
I will be driving in and I just need to get in and out with as little contact with other people as possible.

I have heard that some big hotels like MGM have contactless check-in and checkout and unlock your room via phone apps. That’s nice, but you still need to get from the parking garage to your room which would involve riding in crowded elevators each time you need to go in or out. The elevators are a bigger risk than standing in a line in an open lobby.

Are there any places that have both contactless check-in and access to get into and out of your room without riding in elevators or needing to climb double digit flights of stairs to your room?

Ideally, a more of a motel style lodging, where the rooms doors are outside, but a place that’s nice enough to be safe and quiet like Hilton Garden Inn style motel with individual A/C units for each room.

Otherwise, maybe a hotel where I with a parking garage where I can park on the same floor as the room and walk straight to the room without using elevators along the way.

Glad to hear you are being very cautious. I think you will be safe most anywhere if you wear a good mask or multiple layers of masking in areas where you have to encounter people indoors. Ask for a room on a low floor to avoid long elevator rides from higher floors. Boatloads of hotels here, if you have a car to get around, you don't have to stay on or near the strip. Where you choose to stay might depend on where you need to go to conduct your business. Maybe they can recommend a safe place to stay.

I just want to be within 10 miles of Thomas and Mack Center and I’ll have a car so I also want free self parking.

Use Google maps. Put in Thomas and Mack Center and search nearby hotels. I doubt the big name hotels on the Strip have free parking.

A Google maps search is not going to answer my specific questions about low contact or contactless check-in and access to get back and forth from your car to the room.
As far as free parking, if there is no free parking, I will just add the parking fee to the room rate when comparing hotels. So, free parking isn’t really a requirement after all as long as the total out the door cost is competitive.

...or maybe (?) motels. Not sure if any of them have contactless check-in, but you would walk outdoors directly to your room. Just a sudden thought I had.

You can make some phone calls to get information from hotels you want to check out after researching them on the internet.

I could do that without posting here.
I wanted to hear personal experiences from people who may know which hotels meet these requirements from recent visits.

All Hilton hotel brands have contactless check-in using the Hilton app on your phone. You can also select your room number from available open rooms; if a first floor room is available, you could select it and then avoid the elevator completely. Your phone is your room key. I've done this many times.

With a contactless key, you can also enter the hotel from a side entrance, avoiding the lobby entirely during your stay.

Hilton, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2Suites, Tru are some of the Hilton brands.

We like the Element in Summerlin. Plenty of parking, nice area, right off freeway. Not super close to T&M but nice place and reasonable prices. Plus careful with Covid stuff.
