You see, Westgate Las Vegas is in the sticky position of being both 1) adjacent to a convention center that charges hefty parking fees, and 2) located on a monorail line that takes riders all the way to MGM Grand and its sister properties…ones that now charge parking fees.
That statement might initially sound like the infamous public-relations nonsense issued by Caesars Entertainment Corporation when they instituted resort fees “because the public demanded them.” Not so at Westgate, where the intent is clearly to ensure that their lots aren’t being jammed by drivers who are actually heading elsewhere. But while the MGM policy basically sticks it to everyone (excluding certain MLife tier levels), Westgate Las Vegas has put into motion a parking fee policy to protect their guests. Now that MGM Resorts has instituted a complex pricing structure to park at their Strip properties, it was only a matter of time before other resorts followed suit (let’s call it “resort fee deja vu”). Because “To Serve You Better” Actually Works In Your Favor.
