Have an xmas party tonight, and looks like I won't be getting a cab. Anyone know if you can park overnight in some of the underground places downtown, like bankers hall?

Park in the big parkade right under the downtown mall!

You have to come off of 4th st to get into the parking lot and its right before 7th street! The parkade doors are right next to tangerine supper club! Also its 2 bux i believe till 6am, but check to make sure!

Sweet thanks!

edit: looks like the convention center is the best bet for anyone who's interested.

do you just reuse your previously paid ticket? I had a buddy that did that a few times at the gulf canada square parking lot a few years ago, I tried it recently and failed :rofl:

no

after close, you can still access the parkade if someone drives into the entrance
also the gate on the inside is open (at least it was when i did it)

you and a buddy drive a different car there after close, it opens the big entrance door, park the car at the loading area

go get your car, drive out

done

another option is to go to elbow river casino then take a cab there and back

Or you could also both go into the parkade, once done one pays and the other folllows closly behind as the little gate doesnt close quick enough or you could just hold it for one another while you pass through! At times its even held up(depending on how many cars are left in the parkade)

I park in Bankers overnight all the time. You just pay the day rate plus the weekend rate. No biggie.
