MGM parking fees Las Vegas: Updated

/in , /by

MGM parking fees updated. Yes, they are to stay and they’re getting more expensive. It’s another slap in the face of all hotel guests, another insult to add to the injury already inflicted by the ever-increasing resort fees.  The following is a simplified guide on their paid parking rules and, further down, their updated list of parking charges:

MGM Parking Fees: Self-Parking Rules

The first hour is free for every visitor.  This will barely give you enough time to walk from their parking area to the casino, in many cases! MGM Parking fees

If you are a hotel guest, you will have to pay an additional parking fee on top of the daily resort fee.  This is outrageous: isn’t parking part of the resort facilities, for which we already pay?  I think, given the potential removal of the resort fees in the future thanks to potential new legislation, parking fees will be a way of substituting it; for now, well, they have both.

BUT ( and this is the good news):  if you are at Pearl, Gold Platinum or Noir level on your M Life membership card (which is free, and we talk about this on our players cards page), self-parking (as well as valet parking) is free.  Having said this, during my last conversation with an MGM group reservation assistant, I was told that the parking fee is now applied to everyone.  Watch this space for updates and don’t forget to nudge us about it.

Your daily parking fee is valid for all MGM properties.

If you have an MLife credit card, you will enjoy free parking.

MGM Parking Fees: HOW does it work in practice?

You will probably arrive, park your car, obtain a parking ticket of some kind which you will show at registration, where you will be given a parking ‘key’ which may or may not be combined with your hotel key.  This is where you ask for your complimentary/free parking if you are lucky enough to have this in your booking package.  They are getting rarer.

The fees may be increased in the future, just like the dreaded resort fees.  If you are considering using other means of transportation vs renting a car, our page on Getting Around Vegas explains the pros and cons with some tips and tricks.
