Parking?

HolyHesus

How is the parking if you arn't staying in a hotel? Is it first come first serve around the Meydenbauer? Or do they have some huge parking garage?

Bionic Monkey

There are several different parking garages around that area, all within just a few blocks. You don't have to worry about it.

Yeah, parking at the Maydenbauer was plentiful at $15 per day last year. As I lived nearby, I didn't have a hotel. I just had some people that I met there register my car with their hotel room so I could use the hotel parking lot. :P

I stayed at the doubletree last year, and there was plenty of parking. And it was easly within walking distance.

Yes, easily within walking distance if you like walking UPHILL AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE!

I parked at Bellevue Square and walked from there.

You know what I did last year? I just drove right into the Meydenbaur about 30 mins after the doors opened for the pre-registrants. I parked within 20 feet of the elevator, took out my PC gear, and rode the elevator up to the BYOC room. I didn't even have to wait in a line. I just made sure I had my badge on so they'd let me in. It felt like my own, private VIP entrance.

Yeah, it costs some money, but it was worth it. Especially since I had my PC with me.

Don't be like that mang.

Jesus, why'd you get a hotel so far away?

I can just park in the Civica building a couple of blocks away for free as I still have an office there.

That'd be it. I might have to buy a meal there this year to compensate.

Hmm how far away is it form Bellevue Square?

HolyHesus

BigRed

If you park at azteca dont be suprised if you get towed...

That CUSTOMER PARKING ONLY sign is there for a reason.

Are you that out of shape? I thought it was a nice walk, and not too steep at all. It was convenient because the hotel I was staying was also hosting another con I was going to, however MUCH smaller than PAX; Dragonflight, and kept me busy at night when PAX was done for the evening.

Dude, I live on a great lake, our land is either flat or almost flat. We don't walk at an uphill angle all like that out here. It's just not geographically possible.

I highly recommend parking at Bellesquare mall. It's not "that" far away, you won't have to pay a dime, and you'll see lots of good places to hit for lunch on your walk to Meydenbauer. Plus you won't have to worry about being towed.
