The evil parking charges in Las Vegas continue to return. In this case the Cosmopolitan joins MGM and Caesar Entertainment in grabbing money off those parking spaces. The good news is just like MGM and Caesars, there are lots of exceptions, so you may not actually have to pay anything.
The charges exclude hotel guests, players club members of a certain tier, locals for the first three hours, motorcycles and everyone for the first hour. Otherwise, to self-park, it’s $10 for up to four hours and $15 from four to 24 hours. Valet parking is free for hotel guests, $15 for up to four hours, and $20 for four to 24 hours for everyone else.
To my thinking the parking charges by the Cosmopolitan make lots of sense. Unlike the MGM and Caesars properties the Cosmo was never designed to be a casino/resort. It was actually supposed to be a condo complex before bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis lead to a rethink. It makes Cosmo a beautiful and unique property, from her great balconies to funky public features. However its parking garage was designed for a condo complex, not a popular resort with restaurants, casino, shows and clubs. In short, parking at the Cosmo is always a negative. Charging for non-guests will help protect the parking spaces for guests and players club members.
