Don't worry, the only stupid question is the one that is not asked!
Yes, there is access to the IP off of LV Blvd, if you want to do things the hard way. The first rule of driving in Las Vegas is to avoid the Strip if at all possible. The Strip traffic can be nasty, even in "non-rush" hours, and the area of the IP (Flamingo-Strip area) can be particularly congested.
The easiest way in and out of the IP when driving is via Audrie or Winnick, and both are very easy.
Audrie runs north from Flamingo, just east of the Strip. Your landmark is an Italian restaurant named Battista's. Turn north on Audrie and bear left. You will see the IP garage as you swing left onto Winnick.
Alternately, take Koval (about 1/2 mile east of the Strip) to Winnick, turn west on Winnick, which will curve right and run directly into the IP garage.
If you absolutely insist on using the Strip, it's easier when coming from the south. Turn right into the U-shaped drive. Valet parking will be right by the main doors. Keep going and turn right for the self-park garage.
