Casino Trip - Valet Parking (1 Viewer)

[shorticus]

When you go to a casino, do you valet park? Why or why not? Please share your thoughts. I’m also going to include a poll in this thread.

So, yes?

I’m a cheap bastard
Also
A valet crashed my car once

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

Nope. Always self park, I like to know where my car is just in case, and I don't mind the walk.

If in Vegas, the answer for me is Yes most of the time. Other local casinos like the Bike and Commerce, usually No, but depends on how busy the casino is.

I’m wondering if the time of day matters. To me, it feels like a safety thing. I typically don’t take the valet route, but when I sit back and think about walking alone in a random parking tower (or parking lot) at 2 or 3 AM, it feels like I should valet for safety purposes. Better safe than sorry, right?

Would agree but also think about sulking to the car as a loser versus strolling over the valet as if you have something to protect.

As a lifetime loser in poker, sulking over and over again could probably be depressing

I would always valet, then the valet scratched the passenger side of the rental and I did not see until I got to the rental return. Stopped renting, uber or taxi, so not an issue. Also most require diamond or whatever status for free valet, so probably would self park if I ever rent again.

I always valet.

I tip the guy $100 and ask that he parks my 2017 Honda Odyssey minivan next to the Ferrari or similar they keep up front.

It's worked twice.

So last night, I played live at the casino. I honestly didn’t think about valet cause I got there at 2PM, but when I was walking out at midnight, this thread came to mind.

I’m honestly considering it at this point. It’s more about safety over anything at this point.

The key is to look homeless. When you're walking out of the casino at 3am, looking homeless and desperate, you'll be totally safe.

I did, back in 2015, the last time that's happened
