That is great. So Las Vegas "locals" need a credit card to dine, shop or gamble at MGM Resorts to park for free. I got the same email. I will pass visiting MGM resorts. I am sure Chef Emeril Lagasse is thrilled with this news. 40% of his customers are Las Vegas "locals" at his MGM Grand location. I hope MGM lowers his rent.

It will be even worse when CET (Caesars) starts to charge for self parking. The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood gets 40+% of their income from LV "locals". How would you like to own a shop or restaurant in there? Many other malls have the same shops. Where are the "locals" going to go? Paid or free parking.

Pure greed. Fire the bean counters!
