I went for the first time to the September 2011 event. I had a lot of fun. Parking is by validation basis unless you can find a spot at the El Cortez(it's free)! Get there early. My night went way farther than Vegas StrEATS. I did the Flightlines at the Fremont Street Experience. Had so much fun. We parked at the California Hotel & Casino, validated the parking stub with the self validation stamper, then walked heck-a-far to the El Cortez. I only spent $1.00 on parking(four hours free) and my friend payed $5.00, and we both left at 1am. Go have fun! I loved it. Trust me, Im a 13 year resident of Las Vegas.
