Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - There's a price to be paid as Las Vegas continues to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

A price to park, that is.

Beginning Tuesday, MGM resorts are re-instituting paid parking at its resorts. The good news for locals is that the first three hours in the self-parking garage would still be free.

There will also be paid parking for special events as well, such as Vegas Golden Knights games.

MGM had waived parking fees after reopening following the closure of Las Vegas Strip hotels and casinos due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Starting June 1, just the first hour of parking will be free at MGM Resorts properties. Self-parking fees at the Bellagio, Aria and Vdara start at $15 for one to four hours, then jump to $18 for four to 24 hours. Each additional day is another $18. The remaining MGM properties start charging at $12, then jump to $15 for four to 24 hours and another $15 for each additional day.

Free self-parking will remain available to M life Rewards members with Pearl status or higher and M life Rewards Mastercard holders, as well as to those who have served in the military and their spouses through the M life Rewards Military & Veterans Program.
