We are doing an II trade into the Marriott Grande Chateau (we are Marriott owners) & wondering if there's a fee for parking?
 
All they have there is Valet parking........

I found I didn't need a car the last time I was in LV so I didn't rent a car and saved a whole lot of $$$$$$ from rental car charges.

Valet only. A small tip will do. On our visits, the valet had small bottles of water to offer. You have a ticket and scan the bar code when you come down to the lobby and want your car. You then see your ticket number on a board along with an estimated wait time. The wait for your car varies. I can remember waiting 10 minutes or a little longer when they get busy, so plan accordingly.
 
Just stayed this weekend using Bonvoy points, with zero charge for Valet.
 
Thanks for all the replies!
There is a lot of road construction near the MGC on both Harmon and Koval. There is a big Formula One project in the area too.

Before checking in I stopped at the Vons near the airport. It took me 30 minutes to get from there to MGC due to road construction and traffic. It’s about 2.5 miles.

I was there for a week in March and never used my car after checking in. Everything I wanted to do was in walking distance.

Do they still have a shuttle to WalMart?

To their credit, there is no resort fee and no parking fee, which is unusual in Vegas these days. However, there is no self parking on site, just valet parking. If you are renting a car, check the contract to find out if a valet is allowed to park the car. If an unauthorized driver damages the car, your auto insurance likely won’t pay because they would consider you to be in violation of the contract. Reading through TripAdvisor reviews, we found that it might be difficult to get management to take responsibility for damage to a car by the valets. If you’re limiting your activities to the Strip, you won’t need a car anyway.

Generally dings and scratches aren't found out until you return the car, so unless Valet has a major accident you should be fine. They won't be asking who was driving when it happened. Shoot, it could have happened while standing still in a parking lot. If valet does have a major accident, I think it would be hard for management not take responsibility.

Agree with this- If just putting up a sign and saying we are not responsible for anything worked than why would anyone ever need insurance?! Just put a sign everywhere.

Yesterday I was behind an open-bed truck that had a sign on the back reading “Stay back 200 feet! Not responsible for glass breakage or other damage.” I laughed and thought, nice try…. but if you drop or kick up a rock that breaks my windshield, I’m pretty sure my insurance company will have a different view!
