MGM's new "parking fee adjustments" !!!

[KingRailbird]

Today it was in the news that MGM is raising again the rates at Bellagio, Aria and Vdara! 2 hours now cost 9 dollars, 4 hours 14 or whatever, and the entire day costs 18 or so, which is a significant raise once again.
They call it..."rate adjustments" for maintenance, staff, etc..... and I call it : Ripp-Off !!! Not just the ridiculous Resort fee that is a real pain in the A....., but on top of it, the tax on the Resort fee , plus all the other taxes...and now the much higher parking fee. As a Tourist who is only in Las Vegas 1x or 2x a year, this is just too much.

Do they really expect us to Play that game and like a bunch of stupid chicken....yes yes yes okay okay I pay???? There are answers to this policy. And they can be sure that not all tourists are plain idiots. There are enough ways of cost cutting. Gambling less, eating elsewhere, staying elsewhere, stiffing the staff, etc etc... don't be too surprised if the visitors will have their answers ready, dear MGM managers !!!

As long as people pay the fees they will continue to raise them. If you're not happy just don't go to MGM properties. If enough people do that then they will think twice about raising the fees.

Unfortunately, most people just accept the fees and are willing to pay whatever they charge. Also, most Strip casinos are now charging the same fees so it's hard to avoid them.

Seems to me that T.I., Venetian and Tropicana are still free of charge. And the Westin, but I think that if daily hundreds of cars are being parked at the Westin without any casino action inside, the managers will probably think about and take action on it. Ellis Island is also an option, but I will definetely not support such a Highway robbery parking rake (((((
