I go to AC quite often. Actually going this Sunday for 3 nights. If your staying at the Trop in the Havana garage once you get to the main floor there's a couple spots that are big enough for only 1 car between 2 columns that's where I go.

i have to agree.. its just a car meant to be driven. if someone wants it they will get it somehow.

I hate the idea of leaving it in those tight parking garages, unattended...but I guess that's why I have comprehensive insurance!

It's a V6 Camaro dawg...not some million dollar hypercar.

Park the damn thing and go on about your business and enjoy yourself. Just remember, those casino's usually have a very good surveillance system so if something does happen to it chances are it will be caught on tape.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I mean the Camaro is decent, but I'm pretty sure there's going to be a lot nicer cars in a casino lot in AC to steal. Aside from the normal rules of parking to avoid idiots, I'm not sure there's much else you can do.

That's where I'll be at, thanks for the suggestion, I'll be looking for those spots!

I know what you mean, and I can't live my life stressed about where I park.

As for it not being a hypercar....some jerk kid looking to either joy ride, or damage a car that they feel is "nicer" than theirs, could still make it their target.

If you go down Fairmont Ave turn left on to Brighton Ave. its the self park on your right.
There's only a few I have better luck getting those if I'm there early in the morning. Good luck with the spot and the gambling.

Money talks. Give valet big tip to let you park it yourself in their area.

OHIOSS · 03-03-2015, 02:58 PM

Rent a car. My first and only door ding happened @ a hotel.

I'll be doing self parking, just because I don't trust the valets.

Do you guys have any experiences related to casino parking, or something similar to share?

Park it yourself.
Rule of thumb, the higher you go, the more choices you have. (You get in the same elevator as the people parked on the floors beneath you.)
Look for an END spot, and park on the far line.

While driving in the garage, turn on your headlights. So that others

can see you.
Watch out for cars backing from spots, and be aware of L O N G pick-up trucks, with trailer hitches!

Most people are lazy, and want to park close to the Casino. If you want to go dent-less, be prepared to walk a little!
Stay away from the "penny" machines. Play some video poker!

GOOD LUCK!
Here is a pic of my Camaro at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi.

Yea - except that attendant you slip the $20 to only works a 4 hour shift, then what?!?
