Harrah’s-Harveys to charge for parking
A two buck tip for the valet at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe or Harveys is no longer enough for parking at the Stateline casinos.
Starting June 30 the two Caesars Entertainment properties will charge $20 for self-parking and $25 for valet during special events and peak holidays.
The MGM properties in Las Vegas were the first to charge; implementing the policy in early 2016. Last November Caesars Entertainment announced it was going to institute paid parking at its Southern Nevada properties.
“Our priority is to ensure that our hotel guests, local residents and Total Rewards loyalty members have an improved parking experience,” Bob Morse, president of hospitality at Caesars Entertainment, said in a press release last year. “Guests who stay, game and shop at our resorts have said that parking spaces and valet services have become increasingly scarce, so we believe that implementing a paid parking program while also investing in LED parking guidance systems will help address these issues.”
The overflow of concert-goers for the Harveys summer concerts is what led Hard Rock and MontBleu to charge people last summer.
In Tahoe, Caesars Total Rewards loyalty members rated platinum and above may self-park or use valet for free.

So, does that only apply to special events and holidays? (Not really clear on that…). Some of us locals like to go to lunch or dinner or drinks at the clubs….. Could not afford a meal or a drink if you have to pay $20 to go eat/drink/play there once in awhile.
