Vegas is not - impervious to the same parking fee gouging that you're all talking about.....

in January I made two trips there staying downtown/Four Queens, had a rental car, stayed there, pass issued for car, no problems ... But we had Guests come visit and could not get their ticket validated!!!! over and over we tried, they did away with the time stamper at the cage and send ya out looking for a slot attendant or drink waitress. when you finally find them
they say "OH I don't have the stamp" or "OH you're not sitting on a machine with credits" and flat out refuse to stamp your ticket,,, employees are empathetic to your Quandary but are following new management guidelines,,
it's Petty BS...

Heaven forbid if ya loose a ticket--- they keep ya for hour's, checking Vin #s, Rental agreements, Driver ID's, Phone calls, Supervisors validation's, etc.
