The days of no-strings-attached free parking at Atlantic City casinos are officially over, as the last of the resort’s gambling parlors has done away with the practice in favor of a pay-or-earn setup.
Golden Nugget Atlantic City rolled out its new parking system in mid-August. The self-park garage now features license plate recognition technology at the entrance and exit, which works with a mobile QR code, a digital payment processor and the casino’s player rewards card program.
The base price for parking at the Marina District casino is now $10. Guests can get their parking validated by gambling, dining or shopping above a certain amount.
Parking validation requires scanning the QR code, providing a phone and license plate number, and visiting the 24K Select Club desk or cashier’s cage on the casino floor.
