Valet Parking Thread!

I have, but I wasn't really thrilled to do it. I had already given over my ticket when I realized a $10 was the smallest thing I had in my wallet. This was very early in my gambling years, before you could just run back in and find a bill changer machine in about a minute and run back out. I was up a few hundred for the night anyway, so I didn't really begrudge him the $10. But I would have tipped him less if it had been really convenient to do so.


Nowadays, i usually tip $5 when i pick it up, but don't tip anything at drop off

We tipped $20 at Mandalay Bay last weekend to keep the car up front and they didn't. It took them 10 minutes to get the car.

We've tipped $10 and $20 to leave the car up front many times in Vegas, though, and they've always done it (except this one time).

Our normal tip is zero to $5 at drop-off and $2 - $5 at pick-up.

Bell Services normally gets $1 - $2 per bag at drop off and at delivery. The maid is $2 - $5 per day, $10 - $20 per day in a suite.

I tip $2...except at Caeser's....I stiff those guys hehe

A friend of a friend valets for Sands Corp and he claims that quite a few regulars tip $100 a pop. I myself tipped a valet $10 on one occasion but that was extraordinary circumstances. I by no means meant to imply that a third of the people tip that much.

Even when I had them get me a cab, I tipped $5.00

It never occured to me to tip the maids for the longest time.Valet 2-4 bucks each way.

Oh,and I remember the very first time playing BJ for real in a real live casino.ya'know with all the nervousness and everything being at a real bj table. It was a t the maxim and fortunately there was only one dealer and she was really cool. She could tell how nervous i was and all,but she taught all the table etiquette and nuances of the game.Things were going really well for me and the booze was flowing,she was making it a great time. After about a half hour,she looked me square in the face and said"ya know john,your supposed to tip the dealer every now and again" I felt so stupid! I honest to god never occured to me. Oh well,I I ended up wayyyy overtipping the rest of the night because 1.)I ended up winning a good bit that night and 2.)she broke my cherry at BJ andI can approach any table game with the utmost of confidence now and play(except crapsLOL)

I generally tip $5 when I arrive and if I had a good day at least $2 -$3 coming out . I figure I would get better service tipping more up front.

That puts me at an average $7-$10 . From somebody with a $300-$400 a day budget. Now I might be making 3 different stops a day . That puts me at almost 10 percent of my budget . Reasonable?
I say so,overgenerous ? I don't think so. They are working stiffs just like me . Good luck to them. Just be good to my car I don't own it. (rental)

We don't tip at drop off, but usually $3-5 dollars at pick up. We never go less than $3.

No offense to Frankie but parking a car isn't rocket science.

Do you also tip the valet when parking isn't free?

$2 or $3 is plenty unless you need something special or you're a jerk. One time at MGM I forgot something in my room and ran back up to get it while the valet went to get my car. I tipped $5 cause the valet beat me and my car was holding up things when I got back.

Your valet tips plus rental fees plus gas and you're better off sticking to taxis. And no worries about DWI.

I don't know what the chance of Rizzo posting on a Bags thread but to be honest I would love hear some feedback from him . Perhaps he can just start another thread and call it Frankie the Valet and we will see what he has to say . Sorry Bags not to hijack your thread but we all know Frankie is the token LVA Valet .
