Self Parking Nightmares On The Strip
We think about parking a little more than we're comfortable with, but on a trip to Flamingo last week we came across the worst parking situation we've faced and one we will never deal with again.
The Flamingo is an older property and along with that comes an old parking garage. Even though the parking garage is located across a small street it isn't very convenient. It's not too big of a deal since it's never really cold in Vegas. What isn't cool is the walkway provided by Flamingo. It's not protected by security so this VegasChatter member worried about something unscrupulous happening. There may be security cameras, but that won't stop people with ulterior motives. (Or, us wondering about people with ulterior motives.) Note: There's another entrance on the ground level outside that is probably safer.
The other issue is that since the garage is old, it is very small. We're not sure how an old Cadillac may have been able to navigate through the tight and blind turns into oncoming traffic but it wasn't fun to do in our short compact Jeep. Even though we exited unscathed, we were expecting the worst at each turn.
We ran into a similar instance at the Harrah's garage as well, but were a little less bothered as it felt safer walking outside to the garage and not having a walkway possibly put us in a compromising position. Never again will this VegasChatter writer go into these garages. We will valet at Flamingo and Harrah's in the future.
Additional note: No Chatters was harmed while researching this article.
