MGM Grand properties charging for parking starting April
- Thread starter Dead Money
- Start date
This will force everyone to do it. I can't NOT charge, and have 80% of the people parking at my place walk to MGM places.
All the more reason to walk, get that exercise and stay in shape. Also better for the environment, a win win for everybody.
Also, if every single casino on the strip does this it would be good for the "off strip" casinos.
Oh and I am sure 75 percent of the time you won't pay for parking anyway. If you eat there, stay there or gamble there you'll get your parking reimbursed.
Seems really stupid, a PR nightmare, this will back fire big time. And it will cause mass chaos with parking. Think how many people will park at Motel 6 and walk over to MGM Grand, or all those other locations just off the strip. Parking nightmares and there is no need for it, plenty of room for parking, just pure greed. A place like Motel 6 is going to be mighty pissed when they have to deal with all this shit. Oh and look at the streets just off the strip, people are going to try to park there now, what a nightmare.
Just think of all the places "just off the strip" that will have to deal with people trying to park there to save 10 bucks, a fucking nightmare. For example if I owned the Motel 6 next to MGM Grand I'd be fucking pissed. YYZ is right, now every casino on the strip is going to do this, and the nightmare will ensue.
Of course there is no need for a car if you are just visiting Las Vegas, but that's just my 2 cents. I have spent a ton of time in Vegas over the years and never drove a car once when I was there, but that's just me.
And even if you lived your entire life in Vegas, still no need for a car when you go to the Strip, but hey that's just my 2 cents.

NOW I KNOW I'M NEVER GOING BACK. The resort fees ... now parking F You. Atlantic City charged $5 to park ...never went back there either. Aruba .. St Maarten Puerto Rico Macao all have casinos and great beaches. I don't pay to play in a sand box. Ugh!!
the
Of course the situation is still in its infancy,but the
morning news commented that only much higher rated players cards will get free parking. This is all being enacted to pay for a new huge parking garage under construction.
You can count on the fact that once the garage is "paid for" the fees will remain intact, and the nearby casinos will follow suit.
Downtown at Main Street, Cal, Fremont, you have to have more prestigious card to park free, otherwise it is a nominal $3.00 weekdays, $5.00 weekends. This was instituted last year as the Fremont experience people were taking all their parking. I would have done the same.
Last time i was there i wd park at the Plaza and get my ticket stamped at the cage. Is that gone too >> Ya go to 5 casinos at $10 a pop to park you are paying more to park than a room used to cost. What if your a local they still pay ???

Only the dying breed were gamblers out there.
Las Vegas is no longer a gambling destination, it is a resort destination. A place where young people can pay ridiculous fees to drink, dance, eat, and just generally party.
Gambling is not that high up on the list anymore, for guests OR the hotel.
Its getting tougher and tougher to find a "fair" gamble on the strip. The pay tables and odds keep getting worse and worse. No wonder the gamblers aren't showing up.
Show me a decent VP pay table, a $5 dice game and a decent pizza and I'm all set. I find more of those downtown for sure.
But the kids that would rather spend $400 on a bottle of vodka at a club don't really care that 6/5 BJ is crap.

Only $5 Craps i remember were Casino Royale and Sluts of Fun..... Sahara but they are long gone .... They had $1 BJ. i once dbled up 1 2 4 8 and lost 128 and quit. Metro Pizza wasn't bad but none come close to real Italian Pizza in Wisconsin.. It's the crust and the Fennel in the sausage son !!!!.
Paid $39 a day for valet in Denver over the weekend. It's a nice racket. :shrug:
