• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

MGM to start charging for parking at Strip casinos

They don't have to worry about me, I've been to Lost Wages twice back in the late 80's for a construction equipment show. Didn't win anything so no reason to go back. :yes:
 
The PR guy from MGM just said that this will anger some more than others but this will be a value proposition for some customers. Say what????? :banghead:
 
Oh man, what a sorry affair Vegas has turned into...

Back in the '70s, when someones else ruled the roost, free drinks if you were playing a slot machine (I played a video 21 at a bar for quicker service), you could proudly carry your bucket of quarters from one casino to another without being robbed, and the buffets were good value. Even got to spin the 'Wheel of Fortune' for a while (under age,) and in return learned how to beat it. The drinks cost too much now, so going to pass on that one.

Nowadays, all the perks are gone. Mega Corps are trying to squeeze all the money out of you that they can.

Glad I was there when it was good...
 
i have property on the strip.




















one of the hotels is holding my bags

A lot of this is just the idea of "we got you" years ago i was taking my boys to Disneyland and we passed lego land so we pulled in it was all brand new and built out by itself in a field where there was nothing around that you could have parked in there lot and went to but they still had parking fees i'll never forget it,a total trap just add a buck to the gate pass and be done with it the feeling of we have you and you have no choice does not sit well with people
 
Having to pay for parking at the main casinos on the strip is a deal breaker for me. I will miss the valet parking and they will miss the $4,000 plus I spent just on the room and food for a weeks visit.

I was thinking the visit would be my last time, now, that pretty much seals it up. :thumbup:

If you are a players club member and you spend that $4k and you use your card, you would probably be a tier that gets parking for free.
 
Believe it or not ...

They're all losing money and are scrambling to find money anywhere they can. They've built and priced themselves out of the market for the older generation and the next generation doesn't play slots. Serves them right.
 
Yup

What?
 
I bet they still have free parking in Pahrump? Traffic is a nightmare in Vegas so I go around it when out there. Back when I flew, I would get the rental car and leave heading to Pahrump....for firearms training.

It's sort of a "Highway Bingo" game: who can spot the next sign? :D
