Monte Carlo Parking?

After reading a response to my post about hotels and someone saying that Monte Carlo%26#39;s parking garage is closed, where are guests to park if they are driving? Is it just part of the garage that is closed or the entire thing?

We are staying there Thanksgiving week, but Luxor is offering good rates, never been there, but was thinking that maybe, if parking will be an issue at Monte Carlo, that maybe it might be worth it to try Luxor. Or maybe even Bally%26#39;s.

Can anyone provide some insight in the parking situation at Monte Carlo?

Thanks

Monte Carlo Parking?

take a cab........problem solved

The parking garage is completely closed but they still have valet parking available. A lot of people prefer to valet park anyway.

Gee, wideawakeinaz, one more thing to obsess and worry over. How exciting for you

Thank you Tom for you help...truly appreciate it....honestly, if i have concerns over important things such as Parking...why do you feel the need to make a comment? I might be a little worried about parking, but at least I am not rude to people.

Thanks,

Charlene

Oh, on to the actual post. Thank you for posting where to read about the parking. Maybe in that case, we might consider going to Luxor. I got an email deal, $69 each night, including Thanksgiving night and $10 in free and $20 food credit for their steakhouse I believe, which, that we may or may not use.

Husband isn%26#39;t a huge fan of valet. He likes being able to check on the car once in awhile or if we leave something, we have easy access to the car, which is usually me forgetting something in the car. =)

We still have time though, I guess we will see.

I wouldn%26#39;t mind staying at NY, NY or MGM...they both seem to be in the same area as Monte Carlo. But we will see.

Thanks all!

We stayed at the Luxor last year and took full advantage of their valet parking - in the whole 10 days we were there we didn%26#39;t once feel the need to check on our car. It%26#39;s free (just leave a tip) and it%26#39;s just one of the special things you get when in Vegas! Also, it may be quite a walk to your car if you self park.

I would say not to worry about valet parking - you will love it.

I%26#39;ll be at the MC on October and I think more of a concern is that if there is no parking garage then everyone is forced to valet. It will be be interesting to see if they can keep up with the demands of the increase in valet parking. I%26#39;ll be interested in seeing some MC reviews to see if it is a problem. No one wants to wait forever to get their car out of valet.

When we were in Vegas last month, we did both: Self park, and valet. We self parked at the Monte Carlo, a lot of the parking garage floors were closed and had to park on the uppermost level. It was a walk to the casino, I%26#39;ll tell you! We valet parked at the Aladdin, and numerous times we had to wait forever to get our vehicle. Even when we collected our Hummer in ';off peak'; times, it would take 20 to 30 minutes. At the Golden Nugget, I found the valets there to be very quick and never had to wait longer than 10 minutes at the most for them to deliver, and they made sure they held the door open for me, very courteous.

Also valet parked in the following places:

MGM

Luxor (And you WANT to use the valet here, it%26#39;s a bloody MAZE to self-park!)

Sahara

Imperial Palace (we did self park here too and it was fine, never too far of a walk it seemed)

Caesar%26#39;s Palace

Bellagio

Venetian

Wynn

and I am sure there are more just cannot remember yet because I%26#39;ve only had one cup of coffee this morning!!!

The MC is recommending guests who do not want to valet park use the parking garage of their sister property, NYNY. The new MC garage is supposed to take the better part of 2 years (???) and will be 12 stories tall, with two levels below ground. I don%26#39;t know if the below-ground levels will feature a tunnel to the main structure or not. I wouldn%26#39;t be crazy with the NYNY self-park option, and I wonder where they plan on putting all the valet-parked cars during construction. It sounds like a big source of irritation to me. Couple that with the construction of Project City Center next door on the old Boardwalk site and the MC is not quite the same great place to stay it was in January when I was there.
