As a local who comes here for the pool I'm disappointed in the fact they are now charging for valet parking. Effective Sept 1st, even guest (unless you are on highest tier of the players card) valet parking is $7. My friends and I spend at min $50 a day at the pool for drinks and as much as over $300. Now we have to pay for valet service and the parking deck (same price). The new management is mistaken that this is the "right" thing to do. I can go to the pool at Mandalay and valet for free (and swim for free). I can valet at almost every other hotel downtown (exception being the D) for free. I alway tip well, but if I have to pay $7 I'm not tipping. People that work valet will suffer, as they rely on tips as the bulk of their salary. I'm not sure why the change but management, this is Vegas and we don't expect to pay for parking. It's petty and you will lose business. You change your guests a resort fee of $20 for Internet, pool and whatever else constitutes "resort fee", that should include free parking. The Grand Experience and catering to locals (as you express on fb is slowly disappearing. The 3rd street experience that has gained popularity amongst locals to come to your corner of Fremont/Downtown is becoming no more. As a local I've recommended your hotel to my out of town guests in the past as well have paid cabana fees and eaten in your restaurant many times. Please consider changing your policy or modifying to make it more Grand.
