No they're not. They are seldom at full capacity. They want you in their casino at the betting levels they set their tables at. That's how they do the adjustment. It's a numbers and amount game not just an amount game and that's why they offer limited non-poker gamblers like myself $39 rooms at their mid-level properties and less at there low-end properties. They also want you in their restaurants, bars, and clubs.
Also I am the kind of guy that probably drops easily $1,500 to $2,500 and sometimes more on food, drink and shows on a short trip and I actually care about $20 and the feeling that I am getting played. So this parking thing sits very badly with me. Bad enough that it might change my view of patronizing MGM properties.
The parking is definitely an issue for visitors from out-of-town who like to bounce around a bit for bars, restaurants, different casino floors/poker rooms, shows, shopping etc. I am a regular MGM client who rents a car and there is a very good chance I will avoid their properties if they don't handle this in an equitable manner. Between my wife and I we are often out and about 4 to 5 times a day.
As an example, if I go to the Mirage for a casual dining meal at say Carnegie or the BLT Burgers do I really want to fork out an additional $10 just to eat there. The cost of my burger just doubled.
