Valet Parking is awesome. For $5 it's worth it! That is at restaurant or club

sure $5 once in a while no problem around here $7 . Dinner on sat night 0 deg.. sure Summer 82 deg walk along the river no. If you go to 5 6 7 casinos or sports books a day its just a waste of $$. In my whole life i have never been to Vegas Atlantic City Biloxi Gulfport Tunica Shreveport New Orleans or any where else without having my own car or a rental.... and that includes all the places over seas. The time you spend walking is a waste of your vacation.

How can walking be a waste of a vacation with the likes of Vegas ,New York NY and New Orleans which are great walking cities. You see so much more on foot. Great exercise and you can't beat the price. I will say San Fran is so hard and difficult to walk unless you are on the Wraf.

I love to valet park my car for free in LV. That's a huge perk here that they are now taking away :facepalm:

I usually self park, but certain places I valet or I will valet and tell them to hold for me if I just need to go in and out fast.

This will hurt a lot of guys who work valet. They work on tips now, and they sure aren't going to get tipped as much.

I always use valet when checking into a hotel. For convenience if nothing else.

I don't use a car in Vegas so I couldn't give a rats ass that they will be charging.

Yup. And looks like the bartenders are going to get a large cut in tips also.

I really thought I would never be the guy walking around drinking tall boys I bought at Walgreens, but the strip is really getting ridiculous. They aren't going to be happy until every damn square inch of the place is slot machines and $75 entrance fee clubs selling $15 beers.

I'm never going to the clubs. No thanks. Not my idea of a good time. Met some guys last year who were spending 10k a night at clubs. Not for me. I have enough connections to get in free to several big popular clubs, but I still won't go.
