Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
How much is it for guests staying at their hotel? Flat 24 hour rate? in and out privileges?

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
I incorporate all of my prior grousing about these parking fees.
For the hockey games over at T-Mobile, I've been parking at Westgate next door to where I live and taking the monorail down to MGM. A local can get a 20-ride pass for $20, for a buck each way to and from the game. It's a decent hike from the MGM monorail station through MGM and over LVB to T-Mobile. But that's actually a benefit to me at the moment with the extent to which being recalled to federal service has crimped my workouts.
(Believe the Knights I think in association with the transit authority also run shuttle buses for fans from the burbs into T-Mobile.)
But the parking fees, resort fees, etc., etc., etc. have not been a good direction for Las Vegas, particularly for the locals that they had actively courted to come down to the Strip during the most recent recession.

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
TYVM MGM! You have made my choice to stay at The Orleans OR La Quinta on Sahara (near the Red Rock - and Sis) an even better one. GO FUCK YOURSELF - although I'm sure you would want us to pay for that, too.
Only time I go to a MGM Property now is when I Mystery Shop - and I get that parking paid for
Other than that
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
This affects me very little. When I have to Mystery Shop something at the 4 Tropicana corners I either get it paid for or park at Tropicana. Other than that I rarely spend time on the Strip because when if I am gonna get fucked in my ass I want Dinner and a Movie, first. I don't get that here. So I go to Red Rock (during the day - not at night where table limits are not for me), Suncoast or a few other places near Sis (who lives around the corner from Bishop Gorman). I'd rather spend my money buying Challah bread on Friday's from Great Harvest Bakery on Tropicana/215 or other awesome bakery products they have (Lemon Bars, Monkey Bread, Choc Chip cookies)

They should also charge admission to these casino's, they're doing us a favor by being there.
Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
These strip places are raking in the money on parking, resort fee's, etc, and yet their overall profits are not really going up, many of them teetering near bankruptcy. You would think they might figure out that it's not working?

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
casino's have big overhead / construction costs so if people do not come in the casino still has to pay out. Best thing is only have 1 place. Not 3 and a big boat like trump did. Trump probably wished he never had 3 of them. He came back but how many don't.

Did hear a rumor that MGM is now going to charge to use the bathroom. Honest. They do it in Europe.

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
These places should do what they do at Downtown Disney in Anaheim. That place charges $20 to park but if you spend $20 (combined) at shops in the area you get your parking validated. You get 5 hours free if you go to a "table" dining place or the (soon-to-be torn down) Movie Theater
Vegas should do the same. Charge for parking but offer guests the chance to get it validated if they spend over "$X" amount in the hotel at any shops or dining..........or if they bet a certain amount at the race/sports book. Otherwise asking me to watch CFB/NFL games all Saturday or Sunday is something I won't do.

They dont care about fairness, or treating your customers well, they only care about squeezing as much as they can out of each and every one.

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
They used to validate this and it was free if you walked to the cashiers cage inside the casino. Not sure if this is still the case.

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
I live in NYC. The vast majority of NYC, no, parking is not more than Las Vegas. If you're talking midtown Manhattan, then yes, parking is more expensive there than Vegas. However, midtown Manhattan has a lot more going on than the Vegas strip, where you're paying parking fees for the privilege of losing your money to the house.
Casinos/racetracks should not charge for parking. The takeout is absurd enough as it is without tacking on fees to turn away customers.

Re: MGM parking fees going up again this week
The Tropicana at Atlantic City charges like $20 a day or something (free for Copper Club and above, but that requires a lot of action. I'm hours away).
AC is pretty dead and the parking fees are a big turn-off. I'd rather lose the money at the tables.
re: NYC
NYC has extensive buses and a subway system. It's easy to get around using public transit, so driving a car isn't necessary. That's another difference.
