NEW STRIP PARKING INFORMATION

MGM

From a news release:

Created in appreciation for our nation’s active military personnel, veterans and their spouses, MGM Resorts International’s new Military & Veterans Program (MVP) recently launched.  MVP provides special recognition, offers, discounts and benefits at MGM Resorts destinations throughout the U.S. With a military ID, they can sign up for the program on-site at MGM Resorts destinations. An extension of M life Rewards, the company’s premier loyalty program, MVP distinguishes service members with a dedicated M life Rewards card identified with the MVP logo and provides access to all of the available military benefits throughout MGM Resorts destinations via a new convenient, comprehensive and easy-to-find central location – mgmresorts.com/military.

In addition to M life Rewards’ existing benefits, new Military & Veterans Program cardholders are automatically upgraded to the second Tier Level, Pearl, with benefits including complimentary self-parking at MGM Resorts properties at all MGM Resorts destinations across the U.S. including Bellagio, ARIA and MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Miss., MGM Grand Detroit and MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

CAESARS PALACE

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is now charging for parking. Valet parking had been free, but they soon realized that people had discovered this “trick” to park free but go to other casinos. There’s now a flat $7 charge for everyone, a charge still less than most other places. And they have started issuing vouchers to waive the fee for local repeat shoppers.

WYNN/ENCORE

We will need to add to our list another Strip casino that will charge for parking, beginning August 7. Check out the rate chart here.

CZR PROPERTIES

We got this reminder e-mail recently, reviewing our CET parking benefits:

With all of the parking updates happening at Las Vegas casinos, we want to make sure locals are taken care of at our Total Rewards^®properties. Don’t forget: Nevada residents can continue to self-park for FREE for up to 24 hours. Platinum, Diamond and Seven Stars^® Total Rewards members also receive complimentary valet services by using their Total Rewards card when parking.

They also listed the link for the complete Caesars Entertainment Parking Policy, including the parking rates for each property, the details for the credit card free-parking option, and a helpful Q+A section on the subject.
