Vegas in Trouble?

[BSR]

Yes, both the Rio & Palms both still have free parking, as does Gold Coast (but do you really want to stay there?).  By the way, I stayed in the Palms in February and the room was fantastic, much nicer than I expected.

I'm waiting for the casinos to make their roads to and from the garage toll roads. 🤑

That’s good to know. Yes, the Palms is a very pleasant hotel. My last few visits were there instead of Rio, which was really hitting the dumps. My last visit, Palms “upgraded” me to a suite in the private condo tower which was very nice. 
 

funny that Rio has hit me with marketing pieces weekly for about a month now, offering me 4 free suite nights. I’m not chomping to return.

I haven’t been to Vegas for a couple of years. Pre-retirement I was there 2-3 times a year on business. Traveling from LA, and needing to get around from the casinos to World Marketplace, I opted to drive so I’d have my car for ease of transportation. I found myself staying at the “west side” hotels like Rio, Palms, etc because they had free parking. Is that no longer the case?

Rio doesn't charge parking AFAIK but almost but most the strip hotels do now unless you have status or are a local    I know all the Caesars and MGMs do.   The westgate (old Hilton) doesn't

Almost all charge resort fees as well unless you have top tier.   Rio stopped charging resort fees to Hyatt globalists so they've been getting my stays lately
