Among other things, the Las Vegas Strip is famous for seemingly infinite numbers of free parking spots. MGM, however, will soon change the game.
"The cost for a visit to Sin City is about to climb for guests at MGM Resorts' 12 properties along the Strip. Within a few months, free parking will disappear — and it’s unclear whether other Las Vegas hotels will follow suit," according to an article by Jay Jones. Increased demand is described as the reason for the move. The number of Californians crossing the border with Nevada in Primm climbed 5 percent last year, according to the article.
Clark Dumont, a senior vice president of MGM, is quoted in the article saying the price for parking will be modest, around $10 a night for self-parking.
Spokespersons for two of the other big landowners along the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn-Encore, declined to comment on the possibility of charging for parking.
