Pittsburg Man And Woman Sell Parking Spots They Don’t Own

You ever go to an event and pay for parking for the event, but the stall you paid for was in a lot that was private? You think you're safe until you return to the lot to find you either got a ticket or your car towed. Confused, you wonder why because you paid for the parking. Well maybe you should make sure whoever you paid was legit.

A couple in Pittsburg walked to an empty lot that's attached to a building and sold parking to people. The Pittsburg Steelers played the Arizona Cardinals and people going to the game were looking for cheaper parking. According to Yahoo News, this man and woman were flagging game goers down, who were looking for cheap parking. They would take money from them and then let them in the lot. The only thing was that couple didn't own the lot or work in the building attached to it. They just found the empty lot, and started charging people to park in it.

Yahoo News reports that the lot was on Allegheny Ave. on the North Side. Local police said they got a call about 20 minutes before the start of the game about the man, who was wearing a yellow vest. They also reported a woman who was waving a red flag in front of a sign that said "Parking."

According to the police, the owner of the lot didn't give permission for the lot to be used as parking. When they approached the door of the building, no one answered. The man and woman were both apprehended by the police, but the man ended up fleeing. He was later found and both the man and woman have pending charges.

Las Vegas used to be the land of FREE PARKING! Well that has certainly changed, and locals are downright unhappy.

If there’s just one thing locals wish they could demand out of Strip, and downtown casinos, it would be free parking. Locals admit, they would do a lot more on the strip if they didn't have to pay for parking. It's not necessarily the price, but the principal.

Self-parking garage policies have changed dramatically over the years, and far ewer resorts offer complimentary parking in Las Vegas nowadays.

The latest to announce "no more free parking" is The Venetian and The Palazzo, whose management said paid parking will kick in at the resorts sometime later in August.

The policy change appears to be because of the anticipated opening of the Sphere – so I'm quite certain other parking garages will change their policies so they can also cash in on the new foot traffic we'll be seeing.

Here’s a breakdown of the free and sorta, kinda, free-ish parking garages that are still available as of the beginning of August 2023. How long it will last is anyone's guess, so grab it while you can!

The options of complimentary self-parking in Las Vegas are very limited. Several properties on the Strip offer free parking to locals for a specific number of hour, or on certain days. And a few downtown properties will validate for a few hours (some keep it pretty secret, so don't be afraid to ask.

Many resorts offer free self-parking for loyalty program members of a designated level, and local Nevada ID's can save you a little bit.

Horseshoe, Caesars Palace, Paris, The Linq, Flamingo and the Cromwell resorts all offer the first three hours free for locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license.

Bellagio, Aria, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, New York-New York, Luxor and Excalibur resorts, offer the first three hours free for locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license.

The Mirage offers the first three hours free for locals with a valid Nevada driver’s license. Locals who use their Nevada ID at the resort’s players club, and join Hard Rock’s Unity loyalty program will be upgraded to the second-tier and gain complimentary free parking access.

Resorts World offers complimentary parking for 'Genting Reward' members.

The Strat offers complimentary parking for locals with valid Nevada ID.  (Yay!!!!)
