Prepare to pay for parking if you are going to the Pacquiao-Bradley III

I got bad news for the ?die hard? Pacquiao mob including those that will only go see Pacquiao fight if they get a free ticket, and the desert rats that support Tim Bradley.

Las Vegas Casinos recently announced that parking fees would be charged, either one uses valet parking or the self-park structures.

MGM Resorts announced that they would include parking fees in the so-called ?Resort-Fee? that they customarily tack to room charges. This will be applicable to all the MGM hotels such as Mandalay Bay, New York, New York and Excalibur among others.

Not to be outdone Cesar Entertainment properties will raise resort fee by $32.00 per room per day. The changes will also occur at Nobu, the Cromwell and Planet Hollywood.

Resort fees will apply either one uses or not the freebies that come with it like wi-fi for two computers, free local phone calls and two passes for fitness centers.

With that sad news I can just imagine the sleazy maneuvering of the Pacquiao ?fans? to get their names on the list of people that will be assured a seat on the Pacquiao bus to Vegas particularly the ?pretenders? who will surely claim that they deserved to be in the bus even it they have done nothing to help in Pacquiao?s preparation for the fight.

So there you go. Don?t tell me I did not warn you. If you stay in the aforementioned hotels be prepared to pay additional cash.

But a surefire way to avoid that is get your name ?on the bus list? and a space in the Pacquiao-provided rooms where sometimes as many as 6-7 people stay in a room.
