I haven't been to these rooms since late 80s. Looks like I'll be in LA and may take a look. Is it safe to self park?I don't much like to use valet parking.

Speaking of which, Jason, what's valet cost at Commerce?

Why am I so concerned with valet costs lately?

I've only been to both places once, so this is just one's man's opinion. But I would definitely valet park at both places, though it is probably safe to self park. I would esp. feel this way at Bike b/c it seems like a shadier area. Just my opinion, better safe than sorry.

$1.50 at the Bike, $2.00 at Commerce.

Valet at the Bike. I always feel like my car will get dinged there and valet is just so much closer and easier. It costs $1.50 and I usually tip a buck.

At Commerce on Friday and Saturday night, valet is ungodly. I self park a million miles away near the employee parking lot. The entire freaking lot fills up all the way by about 10:30 pm. Commerce has the best security of any LA casinos by far and regular patrols in the parking lot. The towers in the parking lot are actually staffed.

Take your cash with you and leave the drugs/severed heads at home - you shouldn't have any problems with the valet.

I think self parking at both places is OK is you use your head. At Commerce take Tubeway (street, avenue?) on the northwest side and park behind the hotel. That lot is more brightly lit than the other lots and you have direct access to top section.

I only tip the guy that brings my car back to me. Are you supposed to tip the guy that takes your car too? I've always assumed they pooled tips, but maybe not...

If you are carrying enough cash to make you worried about getting mugged, you probably have enough to cough up for valet parking.
