Just got the email from MGM regarding the upcoming "paid parking". Going to start June 6th.

"MGM Resorts International is taking steps to implement a $90 million parking strategy to expand parking availability, implement technology upgrades and reduce the hassle and frustration resulting from outdated and inefficient facilities.

In order to fund these investments—and the ongoing maintenance and capital improvements of our parking facilities—we will be instituting fees for self- and valet parking. Fees will begin to roll out at our Las Vegas hotels on June 6, 2016. These rates remain significantly below those of other highly popular tourism destinations."

"s an M life Rewards Member:
• Once you've achieved Pearl tier status or above, you will receive complimentary self-parking.
• Once you've achieved Gold tier status or above, you will receive complimentary valet parking.
All parking is subject to availability."

What a bunch of bullshit.
