MGM Springfield Parking Fee, Valet & Map 2023

The MGM Springfield is a big, beautiful hotel/casino set upon a sprawling complex that occupies 14 ½ acres of land in city’s south end.

One of just three casinos in Massachusetts,, the MGM Springfield is located in the heart of a busy downtown. It’s also relatively busy, with over $20 million gambled there each month.

As with most downtowns, parking is at a premium. Combine that with a 251 room hotel, 125,000 square foot casino, and busy entertainment district full of bars, restaurants, a multi-plex and bowling alley, and you can certainly see the demand for parking here.

That’s not even including people working downtown, going to the courthouse, or attending concerts, meetings or sports at the nearby Symphony Hall or MassMutual Center.

Given all this demand, (and considering the casino’s sister properties in Las Vegas were the first to implement paid parking in Sin City), you may be surprised to learn that self-parking at the MGM Springfield is free.

MGM Springfield Parking Garage Fee

Free!

There is no fee to park at the casino’s spacious multi-level parking garage. It’s free to both registered hotel guests, and visitors alike.

The way the casino/hotel is set-up, the hotel registration desk is pretty far away from the garage, on the opposite end of the resort, (on the Main Street side). Those of you carrying bags may find it to be a long walk.

Please also note: on busy weekend nights, you may have a wait leaving the parking garage. This is particularly true if you had to park on one of the upper levels.

There are only single lanes going in and out of the parking garage.

MGM Springfield Valet Parking Fee

Although the self-parking is free, the resort does charge for valet parking (when open). The valet fee applies for everyone, (including hotel guests).

As of this early 2023 update, valet parking is not available, however in the past, the valet fee has been $28 per day.

This does not include a tip for the valet driver.

MGM Springfield Parking Garage

All self-parking at the MGM Springfield is at their massive, multi-story parking garage on the southeast portion of the casino’s 3 block footprint. There are six elevators to provide access to the casino’s main floor.

The level you parked at is easy to remember, as levels are named after MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, (i.e. Level 2 is “The Mirage,” Level 4 is “Luxor,” etc.).

Please note however, that some levels are restricted only to those with an MGM Rewards player’s card at certain levels.

Level 1 is strictly only for those at Noir, the highest level.

Level 2 is open to those at the Gold, Platinum or Noir level.

Those of you at Sapphire, or Pearl level (like me), have to park on the upper levels.

All total, there are 3,375 parking spaces in this garage, and each level has digital counters, showing you the number of available spaces on other levels.

There are eight levels in this parking garage. However unlike with most casinos, the top floor here at the MGM Springfield has covered parking – thanks to a massive solar panel canopy installed in December of 2019 that the resort uses to offset its carbon footprint.

Most of the top floor parking spaces are covered by this solar panel canopy.

According to an article in the Springfield Republican, the 3,456 solar panels can generate 1,600 mega-watts of electricity, or up to 10% of the total electricity needed by the resort.

In another nod to the environment, the garage has fifty electric vehicle charging stations.

Directions

When coming from Interstate 91, you’ll want to get off at Exit 6. From there you’ll want to stay on E. Columbus (or turn left onto E. Columbus if you were southbound on I-91).

Follow the signs pointing you to MGM Way, where you’ll take a right. From there it will be easy to see the self-parking garage entrance on the right.

The valet parking area will be just a little further ahead past the self-parking entrance.

MGM Springfield Oversized Parking

I haven’t used this myself, however the resort says they have parking for oversized vehicles available at 947 Main Street, which is just 400 south of the Wahlburgers on the northeast corner of the resort.
