[vpFREE] Re: MGM City Center and Aria--VPO

I wanted to stop off to see Aria, so as I was headed home last week driving south on the Strip, I went into the Aria self-parking lot. After some congestion outside - not real bad - I finally got to the true congestion, inside the parking garage. Instead of letting you drive to any level you want to look for parking, like most casinos do (so you can skip the crowded first levels & go farther down), they seem to have built it as a maze so that every car has to wind down every aisle of every level, until (hopefully) finally finding something. (Unless you want to go the wrong way against the arrow.) You can imagine how frustrating that was, especially since every other parking spot is kept empty, I guess to make it easier to get in and out of cars. So it looks like there's plenty of parking available, only the level is full. After winding through a few levels, I gave up & exited. Never did see the casino. Next time I'll park at the Monte Carlo, and walk over.
