Parking at the Venetian?

gowron8 · #1 11-02-2006, 07:55 AM

I know the Venetian has comlimentary valet parking for poker players but I don't want to subject my car to the abuse. I've heard something about them also having an assigned parking area for poker players. Can anyone advise on the best way for a poker player to self park at the Venetian?
Thanks

Park at TI and walk across the street. You can access the TI parking garage via Spring Mtn Road, avoiding the Strip.

IMO Venetian may have the worse self parking garage set up.

I'm confused. I've only done the Venetian garage a couple times but it didn't seem terribly different than any other setup. Bit of a long walk to the poker room, but still better than MGM. And I've tried parking at TI and walking and that's definitely farther. So...What am I missing?

Parking is the single biggest reason I have not been back to MGM. Action is comperable at other rooms with much more convenient access.

You haven't experienced convention time traffic yet. NOT fun. It is the worst garage of the large casinos.

This is true. I would never think of trying Venetian's garage during some large Sands convention. I've parked at Harrah's or TI or Wynn and walked to Venetian when I was intentionally going looking for poker playing conventioneers (yumyum). (Hint: SEMA is going on now. >100,000 car people--I really should be down playing again tonight but I'm sorta trying to catch up on real work in between 2+2 reading/writing.)

So is that the only time Venetian parking sucks? During large conventions?

what games are you guys playing there? every time i've called there (including just now), 4/8 has been the biggest limit holdem game going.

You didn't miss anything. Car nerds don't gamble much, they ogle strippers.
