Park in one of the casino parking garages! you can park there for the night of for a couple hours and they are patrolled by casino security and well lit. I think its 25.00 per day..not sure as I havent parked there overnight for a while.

And don't worry about parking away from people, no matter how many spots and how far away you park some nimrod will park next to you

Or give the valet attendant $50 and ask to leave your Vette upfront near the entrance of the casino. You park it and take the keys with you.

Both good advises. I always drive to the very top of any parking garage as people will park in the closest spot they can find as they enter (even though the same elevator they use goes to the top floor ) So the spots are sparse on the lower floors, and plentiful the higher you go.










But I do agree with Zipity, It's all about the Benjamins in AC!

I was just at the SHowboat and Harrah's on Friday. didn't stay overnight, but was there most of the day it was only $5. one other time I took the wife to the outlets and I parked in one of the casino lots and never went in the casino. still only $5

I always drive around till I find an end space and stay to one side. However like somebody said, there are no guarantee's.

good luck.

I stayed for 3 days at The Taj Mahal when I was down at The Strictly Corvette show. Parked in their parking garage. Though I didn't bring the Vette I was able to park far away from everyone else. (Yes I am anal about all my vehicles). Thanks to my big time gambler mom and her sister they each got a room and stayed in one I got the other and didn't even have to pay to park. They don't get much for parking even if you have to pay.

Thats a classic. It happens to me all the time. It should be added to Murphy's law. Then my wife has to rub it in and piss me off. She'll say see thats why I park anywhere it doesn't matter!

After T4T a bunch of us stayed at Harrahs. If you self park and drive up to the top of any parking structure you can usually find a nice corner spot with extra room. With some structures I tend to find that people forget about the parking spots available on the way down too. Usually more spots available.

Parked many times with no problems at Caesars and Harrahs (boardwalk and bay)....park high, you'll find a choice spot.

I go to AC about 6 or 7 times a year. Parking at all the casino garages is $5 per day. And you can actually go from one garage to another on the same ticket (but only once). Not a bad deal--but not nearly as good as Vegas where all casino parking is free.

Also you might want to take note of which floor youre on, as Charlie tends to forget what floor the car is on... and huffing it up and down steps with a hangover stinks.

Park at any of the casino garages. I always do and never had a problem. Plenty of security and lots of cameras. Like others have said, the higher you go the better the spots are.

Just park the Vette and enjoy yourself, she'll be there the next day just the way you left her.

Just one more reason to drive all the way to the top every time (you ALWAYS know what floor the car is on.










Hangovers do suck! And suck harder when you have to remember stuff and walk too.

Drinking until 4 am tends to have an effect on my already bad memory, but thankfully the Apple Gods "have an app for that".

...or you can always use the Chris method and sleep in your car.

I usually stay at Bally's and park on the next to top floor. It quiet, super clean and I park right in front of the security cameras because no one is up there! I put my car cover on and leave it. There are security officers on a bikes that must hit patrol the garage every hour too. I agree with everyone else, if you go up to one of the top floors, you will have plenty of room to park your baby and be rest assured that it is safe and secure. Have fun.
