Parking

[blackriver]

Im going to be leaving town for ~5 weeks. I dont know what to do with my car. What if I just leave my car at a casino for 5 weeks? would they notice or care?

Probably Not the Best Idea

If they tow it, you will pay a high storage rate. Store it at one of those "public storage" places. If you do store it for that long make sure the tires have sufficient air and I would consider removing the battery and putting it in the vehicle so it will start when you return.

Although it may work (since the casino is probably open 24 hours per day, and if you got a spot in a section that is always full they may not notice) it sounds like negative EV to me.

Who knows, they may have to deal with this problem and have hired someone to make sure that certain cars are not always in the same spot.

depends on the casino..

if you parked it at a place like bellagio or borgata there's no chance in hell they notice.

There's degenerate gamblers who stay for weeks at a casino.

Also poker players who stay for weeks at a time.

Unless it's a car that looks abandoned they probably won't be looking at it. If it's a normal looking car it's unlikely you'll have a problem

I drove to Vegas and left my car in the Venetian garage for 2 weeks straight and nothing happened. I just parked in a place that was always busy.

My first choice would be to leave it in a friend's garage.

The major casino venues like AC and Vegas won't bat an eye if you park in the same spot for weeks in the garage, there are simply too many cars to keep track off. I wouldn't trust leaving my car in a surface lot for weeks in the winter, since there's always the possibility of a snowstorm. A car covered in snow for weeks will stick out like a sore thumb.

I did once fly out of the ACY airport, and I left my car for a week in the Caesars garage. The cab ride from Caesars to the airport was cheaper than parking at the airport, and I got to use a limited-time match play offer that day.

I don't understand the problem

Why not leave it at home and take a cab or shuttle to the airport, or leave it in a long-term economy lot at the airport?

Maybe he doesn't live in Vegas. As far as the long-term economy lot - $8 a day for five weeks is $280 (plus tax). Cheaper to rent an outside storage unit.

My opinion on this matter:
Five weeks may be a bit too long to leave a car in a Las Vegas parking garage. In Vegas, unlike many other places; a whole lot of dust will accumulate on a car after only about two weeks. All casinos patrol their garages carefully & I'm afraid they'll start to notice a car covered with dust.

If you have top tier at a casino, perhaps you can ask if you can park there for 5 weeks. They may like it if you say you'll gamble the money you save from parking at the airport.

You could leave it on the street if you live in a place where it doesn't snow at all in March.

Suggest you don't do it

I've seen Strip & Downtown security spray paint a dot on the rear tires of cars parked overnight which I assume is to track who as been there too long. Reward not worth the risk IMHO.

Regardless, 5 weeks is way too long in a post 9-11 world.

Try this instead. Could be as low as $150 for 5 weeks.

Instead of removing the battery, better remove the fuse for the battery. Either way, the battery won't be drained 5 weeks later.

Newer cars have easy access and clear marks to fuses. You should be able to find somewhere near your driver seat.

Near airport, there should be long term parking lot run by private business (rate will be cheaper than airport parking). Many mid-sized motels or inns also have run such business. And you can negotiate a good price if you need to leave car there for as long as 5 weeks.
