Impact of fees on visiting the Las Vegas Strip
- 5 years ago
There are no data showing a relationship between Strip resort and parking fees and the number of out-of-state visitors to Las Vegas.
But there are data showing a relationship between Strip parking fees and the number of local visitors to the Strip. ‘’As a local, I find myself picking hotels I visit for dinner or entertainment, based on whether they charge for parking or not,”’ said David Perisset, the owner of Exotics Racing. ‘’It is not a matter of money, more of principle.’’
A 2018 survey by the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance found 36.9 percent of Clark County residents reported avoiding parking at Strip casinos that charge for parking. In 2019, that number dipped to 30.2 percent.
