MGM Resorts Parking Fees And Resort Fees Increase Again
We know what you’re thinking. “Gosh, self. I have so much expendable income. It sure would be nice to pay more in MGM Resorts parking fees and resort fees.” Well, you’re in luck, you masochist, you.
MGM Resorts International made the announcement that effective this Wednesday, December 4th at 10am, the prices they are a-rising. Let’s start with parking because, as Las Vegas locals, this is what we are likely to notice first.
MGM Resorts Parking Fees Get Hiked
Get ready to pay more for MGM Resorts parking fees. Self park will be getting a $2 increase for each timeframe. So weekdays (Monday to Thursday) increase from $18 to $20, and weekend (Friday to Sunday) go up from $23 to $25. For locals with a Nevada ID that happen to park on a day where there isn’t forced event parking rates, you’ll still get the first three hours for free.
There are other ways to get free parking. Did you serve the country, or did your spouse? You can park for free. You just need to get the special MGM Rewards ID to get free parking. Ah, MGM Resorts parking fees. Imagine only 8 years ago, there were no fees. Sigh.
Valet sees a blanket pricing for $40, regardless of the day or property. But we don’t like anyone playing with our seat or radio, so it’s no big deal.
MGM Resort Fees See A Bump Too
Oh did you think it was done? Sadly no. For locals, we aren’t staying too often. But to all of our visitors, expect them to ask to stay at your house more.
There is an increase across the board for resort fees at MGM Resorts properties. The fee supposedly goes to wifi, outbound calling with your room’s phone, the gym, Paramount+ and the printing your boarding pass. But with wifi, you can download your airline’s app and get the boarding pass on your phone, you’d rather watch Netflix, you have a phone of your own and the last thing you want to do in a city filled with amazing restaurants is hit the gym.
But we digress. Here’s what the increase in MGM Resorts resort fees looks like from location to location according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
| Property | Before | After | Increase |
| Aria | $50 | $55 | $5 |
| Bellagio | $50 | $55 | $5 |
| The Cosmopolitan | $50 | $55 | $5 |
| Delano | $45 | $50 | $5 |
| Excalibur | $37 | $45 | $8 |
| Luxor | $37 | $45 | $8 |
| Mandalay Bay | $45 | $50 | $5 |
| MGM Grand | $45 | $50 | $5 |
| New York-New York | $42 | $50 | $8 |
| Nomad | $42 | $50 | $8 |
| Park MGM | $42 | $50 | $8 |
| The Signature | $42 | $50 | $8 |
| Vdara | $50 | $55 | $5 |
So for the frugally minded, run back to the car at the end of your stay. Sitting at a slot machine could cost you more than the pull.
The STRAT Charging For Parking - Who Lets Las Vegas Park Free?
Circus Circus Hotel and Casino
Started from the bottom… and this is the bottom. But if you’re looking to bring the kids to Adventuredome, get a delicious meal at THE Steak House (which is a sleeper hit) and have “Slots-A-Fun” you’re gonna park for free while you do it. Parking is free, while valet will set you back a minimum of $12.
Resorts World Las Vegas (They Technically Charge... But It's Easy To Get For Free)
Our first asterisk on the list is Resorts World. Sure, they technically started charging for parking at the beginning of 2023. But to their credit, they allow any Genting Rewards member of any tier to park for free. Almost brilliant to get people to sign up for the free card to get free parking, and now they have a list to market to. We’ll allow it. At least they don’t require us to run our credit to park for free.
SAHARA Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
Free parking garage AND FREE VALET?! Did we enter a time machine?! SAHARA Las Vegas has some really delicious dining options, hunky men and a gaming floor that doesn’t even remotely resemble its former dilapidated form. Worth a visit!
TI Hotel & Casino
They are so committed to free parking, they put it on their massive sign that faces Interstate 15. The valet is free as well! Sure, they got rid of the pirate show, but for this we’ll forgive them.
Tropicana Las Vegas (With Caveats)
We are going to show some clemency to Tropicana. The poor lil’ fella is surrounded by casinos that charge for parking, an arena and a massive football stadium. Some self-parking is free, while closer lots at $5, and on major event days they get hurt badly (you have people parking there free but not going there at all) they’ll charge non-hotel guests. Fair. Who knows, soon the property might actually be a major stadium of its own.
Trump International Hotel Las Vegas
Love him or hate him, the property that bares former President Donald Trump’s name features free parking. Make America Not Pay For Parking In Las Vegas Again! MANPFPILVA!
