Yikes...I know the parking is usually slammed, but in all the times we've been to the MGM for events, we've never been sent elsewhere. Thanks for the heads-up...we'll plan to leave for there earlier than we normally would have.
The overflow lot wasn't terrible. It was about a five minute walk or so from it to the main entrance of the resort (where ubers pick-up and drop-off), but it was very cold. Getting out was a breeze. It did take us about 15-20 minutes in traffic to circle the building and get turned away from all the garage entrances. They could have done a better job with traffic control and signage, and even opened the overflow lot earlier (you drive right past it as you enter the road that loops around the MGM).
We saw Chicago there in 2023 as well. Just a fantastic place to see a show. KC was decent for being 74 and very out of shape. He apologized up front for his voice being raspy as he said he was getting over a bug, but he gutted through an enjoyable show. He was honest in saying that if you came for the 23 year-old version of him, you were going to be sorely disappointed.
