Yes, the parking fees have really been a “kick in the teeth,” just like the “resort fees” were when they were first rolled out. Held my nose and paid them for the first time when I stayed at the MGM properties in December when I was there for the NFR. Now, am sad to hear that the Caesar’s group is following suit right behind them, and with the Boyd group likely soon to join them (all just like what happened with the resort fees). What will be next–casino entrance fees?

Remember when they all said there was already plenty of parking in place for the TMobile Arena and besides, people would walk or take public transportation? Have ya’ll seen the ‘uuuge’ parking structure behind Excalibur lately? Do that many people go to Excalibur to require another quarter million parking spaces? Gee, I wonder why they built that?

I am one of the few ‘locals’ that actually goes to the strip for the past 13 years, and not just when friends and family are in town. I like it there. There is so much to do and see and not going there is silly to me. Might as well live in Montana. Now though, I find myself not going and only if I sort of ‘have to’. I have zero problem paying for parking if I am going to an event. For instance we went to a show at the arena named after a cell phone company and had no problem paying. We paid for parking at hockey games etc back home in L.A. so why not pay for parking at events here? But going to dinner at Monte Carlo is not an event. That is where I draw the line. There are plenty of fine restaurants not on the strip where parking is free. Same with gambling. SLS, M, Rio, SouthPoint etc etc not to mention downtown. I think parking there is something like $5? Perhaps this blog can confirm that price?

Strip casinos have decided their bread and butter is conventioneers and LA trust fund babies (i.e. – dumb money).

Those two demographics are essentially price insensitive, so they can charge whatever fees they want, and change the gambling odds however they want, and make a metric ton of money doing it.

For the rest of us, off-strip casinos still welcome our money with open arms.

I’m coming to Vegas for the Marijuana. I have been to Vegas 2xs in the past and have stayed on strip at the Sands property. No more I’m done with the strip. Screw parking fees and almost $40 a day resort fees. I’m going downtown. It’s more cost efficient for me. I know visits are up revenues are up but the gouging is going to catch up sooner or later. I’m proof. I’m a sucker but I ain’t stupid.

In reply to NHBill603. I have wondered the same thing.

In reply to NHBill603. Now that we can gamble in some form (lottery tickets and scratch offs) at billions of gas stations and grocery stores across the U.S., as well as at plenty of tribal and state-endorsed casinos in many states, there's no chance gambling holds the same fascination in Vegas that it did for my grandparents, aunts and uncles. I remember how special Vegas was to them, as it was the only time in their lives they could play blackjack or spin the reels of a slot machine. Now they can drive 45 minutes, or less, and do that any day of the year. #sadtrombone

Paid parking would be the KISS of death at Rio. (That’s Vital Vegas quality humor there, folks.)

In reply to Larry Larson.

After the Crash OF 2008 casino handles fell through the basement.
They have yet to fully recover.
Things got so bad that Caesars went bankrupt.
They are still in court and so are basically handcuffed.
Unless gambling makes a huge comeback, and I don’t think it will ever be like it was, expect the search for alternative revenue to continue.
Gambling simply does not pay the bills like it used to do.
