How far things have come in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Paid parking<\/a> is now the norm, and at least one Strip restaurant is attempting to use customer frustration about the “new normal” as a marketing tool.<\/p>\n

Mon Ami Gabi, a popular restaurant at Paris Las Vegas, is openly offering a deal to help customers offset their parking fees.<\/p>\n

\"Mon
Las Vegas restaurants listen to their customers, and many are saying a sentence with just three letters, “WTF?” Sometimes followed by “bro.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mon Ami Gabi is offering guests $20 off their bill (with a $40 minimum purchase).<\/p>\n

It’s a fairly standard discount, but the marketing hook is what’s new in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

While casinos are doing great business<\/a>, we’ve heard anecdotally restaurants, shows and retail stores inside casino resorts have taken a hit due to the roll-out of paid parking.<\/p>\n

There are still a few Las Vegas casinos where parking is free, but the majority aren’t on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

\"Las
It would be funnier if it were inaccurate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These Strip casinos still have free parking: Tropicana, Planet Hollywood, Treasure Island, Venetian and Palazzo, Casino Royale, Circus Circus, SLS Las Vegas and Stratosphere.<\/p>\n

Our favorite way to bypass parking fees is to get the MGM Resorts credit card. The M Life Rewards Master Card bumps players up to a loyalty club tier where parking is free.<\/p>\n

Caesars Entertainment’s credit card does the same thing, but requires a $5,000 a year spend on the card, so they can suck our knackers, a word we didn’t know was a euphemism for “testicles” until four minutes ago.<\/p>\n

While parking fees have bolstered the bottom line of Las Vegas casinos, the practice has left a bad taste in the mouth of many visitors. Expect more promotions along the lines of Mon Ami Gabi’s, and similar offers from the casinos themselves, which will be more than a little awkard.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
