Complimentary parking is now a thing of the past, as Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, and 10 other resorts will begin charging up to $10 per night in as soon as a few months.<\/p><p>&#8220;The pricing is going to be modest. It will not exceed $10 a night for self parking,&#8221; Clark Dumont, a senior vice president, commented. A ballpark for valet parking was not provided.<\/p><p>In a city where vehicle owners have for years benefitted from free parking at many of the Strip&#8217;s luxury hotels and grandiose shopping centers, MGM&#8217;s announcement comes as a blow to most. However, Dumont says that the new fee\u00a0will contribute to a superior parking experience, such as being able to find vacant spaces with their smartphones.<\/p><p>There is speculation that Caesars Entertainment and Wynn-Encore may follow suit, though\u00a0they declined to comment.<\/p><p><em>Photo courtesy of LA Times<\/em><\/p><p><em>Via: <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/travel\/lasvegas\/la-trb-las-vegas-parking-fees-20160118-story.html\">LA Times<\/a><\/em><\/p> <img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/DancingAstronaut\/~4\/NbpGY_3a-m8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MGM Resorts will soon charge for parking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47678"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47678"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47679,"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47678\/revisions\/47679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/earthquakemix.com\/boom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
