    Have any of you driven to the strip in Vegas lately? You now have to pay to park at the casinos! (greedy bas...rds!) Want valet parking? $20. Wanna eat at a barfette? Prepare to pay somewhere between $40-$100+ per person for low quality food and service. And they say the mafia no longer controls Las Vegas. Ask a local, they will tell you that the new mafia is the greedy corporate owners.

    the difference between landing fees and stadium parking are. If you don't want to pay stadium fees just park somewhere else and walk a mile or two. You don't really have the same option if you are in the air and need a place to land. Granted you SHOULD carry enough gas to go somewhere else if needed, but there are places that with a slow plane could push the reserve envelope in order to reach a different airport.

    If anyone is interested COPA has a interesting study (About 10 years old) about the impacts of landing fees on GA traffic.
