I would like to respond to the recent letter from David Lyons about Strip casinos canceling their parking charges. I hope Mr. Lyons doesn’t think this rollback of parking fees is permanent.

The last line of MGM’s news release stated that the parking fees are halted “for the foreseeable future.” I believe as soon as the Strip casinos are financially stabilized again, the parking fees will return. Remember, the fat lady hasn’t sung on this issue just yet.
