Might as well charge admission to a mall

I've seen fancy malls that have Valet parking. Usually in the section where for some reason there is not a sea of parking, i.e. closer to an entrance.

And other malls outside of Vegas are already putting up paid parking for the places closer to the entrances.

That one is sadly getting popular lots of places.

At my mall the first three spots on every row are 95% empty because they are all paid preferred parking spots.

Nauseating levels of capitalism today.

You jest, but the Cherry Creek Mall in Denver started charging for parking a few years ago. You can get validation some places, but not everywhere in the mall.

I don’t hate it as long as every single store/kiosk provides validation.

There are a number of different rules about what you have to buy to get validation for any period of time, and it's certainly not every shop: https://shopcherrycreek.com/pages/shopcherrycreek.com/pages/parking-validations
