Wynn Las Vegas, Encore to Eliminate parking fee Starting July 1

After in August 2017, the self-parking garages at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore began to charge visitors and registered hotel guests for parking, Wynn Resorts Ltd. (NASDAQ: WYNN), recently announced that effective July 1, hotel guests will no longer be billed for parking. Any patron spending 50 or more, including gambling, shopping and food, will be supplied free self-parking and valet service.

Based on a Thursday report by the vegas Sun newspaper, under the new coverage, the $39 resort fee billed by both Las Vegas Boulevard places, will include parking for hotel guests and teams can split their spending to cover parking for over one vehicle.

Increased its everyday resort fees to $45 for both Las Vegas properties including The Palazzo and The Venetian, a spokesman for Wynn Resorts reportedly said that the company hasn’t planned to improve resort fees and doesn’t raise them on an annual schedule.

Hotel amenities including but not limited to the use of fitness facilities, swimming pools and business facilities together with high-speed internet, are all covered under resort fees. Hotel guests are charged the fees regardless if they take advantage of the conveniences or not.

With MGM Resorts International leading the charge, with announced in 2016 that it intended to remove free parking at most of its Las Vegas Strip properties, both Wynn properties have been the first major resorts on the Strip to do away with the fees that it used August 7, 2017.

Wynn Las Vegas president, Maurice Wooden,  said, “Our guests choose to stay with us due to the attention we give to perfecting every facet of their expertise.

“We have come to believe that charging additional parking fees is counter to the personalized service we provide. This new policy directly reflects the way we understand our guests want and deserve to get treated,” explained Wooden.

Las Vegas Strip possessions that still provide free parking comprise SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, which offers complimentary self-park; Palazzo and Venetian, which each provide complimentary valet and parking garages; Treasure Island, offers both complimentary valet parking and self-parking; as does the Tropicana. Planet Hollywood offers free self-parking, with concierge beginning at $15.
