For MGM Resorts only.

I am not a big fan of MGM's charging for self parking but... here is a way to get free self parking by means of signing up for their MLife MasterCard credit card -- where one of the benefits offered is automatic upgrade of status to a MINIMUM of Pearl status which has 3 main benefits:

- Complimentary Self Parking at Las Vegas Resorts
- Buffet Line Pass at Las Vegas Resorts
- 10% Bonus on Points and Express Comps for your gaming spend.

There is no need to spend any money on the credit card. You can sign up and just leave it in your sock drawer.

Here is the fine print:

"TIER MEMBERSHIP AT PEARL STATUS: If an Account is issued, the tier of the M life Rewards membership associated with the Account will be automatically set at Pearl unless it was already at a higher tier level. Please note that it can take up to 14 days after the Account is opened for the benefits associated with Pearl to be reflected on the M life Rewards account. While the tier of the M life Rewards membership associated with the Account may still be advanced based on the number of Tier Credits earned, the M life Rewards tier will remain at least Pearl as long as the Account remains open. Once the Account is closed, however, M life Rewards tier membership will be based solely on the terms and conditions of the M life Rewards Program."

I hope this helps alleviate some headache for those who want to visit the MGM properties but do not want to pay for parking. Yes... you will get a hard pull on your credit.

Is there an annual fee?

If I lived in LV, spent any appreciable time in MGM resorts (which I probably would, playing poker), and getting/keeping the the card didn't cost me anything, I would consider it.

no annual fee.

Thanks for the update. You can format the links like this Link to sign up for the credit card.

Where does the Pearl status stand as far as using the Valet? Is there any price break?

[caltrinity]

Valet-parking is complimentary only for Gold, Platinum and NOIR M life Rewards Members

Here's a better option. Go to blackjack or slots and win $10. There's your parking. What people really should do is not tip anyone until your ahead at least $10. Management will hear about it.
Yet after the first of the year the shock value will be over and we will just pay.

My friend is in town for the WSOP. He just uses someones M life card that was left in a machine. So far so good.

Nowhere on that tier benefits page does it mention free self-parking

The Tier benefits website is just not yet updated.

Here is the official MGM parking website that shows what each tier offers in terms of self and valet parking
