- T-hawk 12y agoA counterexample: Las Vegas. All the casinos on the Strip have big parking garages that are free and don't fill up. Perhaps it's possible only when the margins of a business are as spectacularly high as those of Vegas casinos, so that the parking facility as a loss leader is still net profitable overall. There's also the invisible hand of capitalism, as casinos compete in the market of convenience: a casino without such a facility will lose market share to those that do.

Or land is so cheap because you're in the middle of nowhere.
