In reply to Phil. Probably not much further ahead than their own golden-parachute retirement party.

I saw on another blog that It’s based on distance from the “Strip”, which officially ends at Sahara Avenue to the North. Thus Sahara is “Strip”; but Strat, like Vegas World before it, is “Downtown”: that is, on Las Vegas Blvd. but not on the Strip proper.
Anything within about one mile on either side of the official “Strip” counts: so Ellis Island, Gold Coast, Hard Rock/Virgin, Palace Station, Rio, Silver Sevens, Tuscany, Westgate, and Wild Wild West are all “Strip”; but Orleans is too far away. I don’t think they consider South Point to be “Strip,” either, but don’t know where the Southern boundary is.
And FWIW, Green Valley Ranch and M Resort are “Boulder Strip”; and Silverton, Primm Valley, and Cal-Nev-Ari are “Clark County Miscellaneous.”
Like you said, Go figure….

With inflation taking hold (ie: $4 perhaps soon $5 a gallon gas prices, not to mention food prices..etc), I just don’t know if now is the time to nickel and dime. Just seems management is not thinking long term.

Not so fun fact: The Nevada Gaming Control Board does *not* classify The Strat as a Strip casino. But does count Silver Sevens as one. Go figure.

If you dont like to pay for parking or dont like super expensive cocktails and super tight slot machines and pricey meals, just dont go to the MGM properties.

In reply to Gaz Vegas. You are correct no one is forced to visit Las Vegas or the strip. However Vegas is a tourist destination and they do need to watch what they are doing. People are flooding in right now because they have been cooped up for over a year but prior to the pandemic Vegas visitors stagnated and actually decreased from 2016. People that want to visit a casino have more options now that more states are opening them. If Vegas nickel and dimes the value out of every aspect of a vacation people will just go to their local casinos instead. Look what happened to Atlantic City, that place is a ghost town now and has been for some time. Granted that Vegas has a lot more going for it but the business model of Atlantic City was people will come cause there is no casino market competition. When competition came from other states they upped fees and took comps away to stop losing the income they were getting prior to the competition. As a result less and less people went. Las Vegas isn't above the same kind of decline if they choose to continue down the path they are going with fees for everything.

It’s always been interesting to hear the locals voice how they’re never setting foot in another strip property because of paid parking. How many locals visit the strip regularly anyway? There are plenty of off strip casinos from the dregs to high end – why, unless going to a concert, would a local set foot on the strip anyway?

Paid parking, like resort fees, are here to stay until the people in charge see severe slippage in numbers. It doesn’t make it better but it’s their business. No one is forced to visit Las Vegas or the strip.

Parking should of course be part of the “Resort Fee”, that is if they choose to be butt rashes and charge for parking… The only “positive” of this is it clears out the lots, you do not have to hunt forever looking for a space, and once you pay for the days parking its good at any MGM hotel. When my brother and I went we stayed at Delano, got charged for parking, but at least when we went to Top Golf we could park in the empty back portion of the MGM Grand and only have a short walk. We drive to Las Vegas every time, I can not imagine not having a car to check out the ancillary attractions during the daytime. Paid parking adds $15 dollars a day to the tab, but its really the philosophical pinch of paying both a “Resort Fee” and parking fee. It makes me want to give my gambling business to the locals and off strip casinos…
