When you own the parking lot for one of the most popular places on the island, you can get by with that. Not saying I agree with it but it does not surprise me.

If one does not have a problem with $4 beer and $8-$9 drinks, what is $4 in the grand scheme of things? It beats parking somewhere and getting towed.

mmk said: $4.00 for a full day is incredibly cheap parking. Parking in the developed world is easily $4.00 to $7.00 per hour if not more. come to NYC - some places are 25 an hour!!! I don't get why this is an issue, wasn't it posted that all the restaurants/bars and casino will validate your parking ticket? so unless you just going there to loiter you won't pay the 4.00 bucks?

I heard also that you may not be getting all of your $4 back but instead may only get part.
It is also my understanding that Alegria owns about half of Sunset Bar, a no choice lease extension for ownership deal. Rules me out of going to Sunset any longer.
We will continue to go to Taco Macho, and we will still go to The Dream Pool Bar which still is one of the best places to watch a sunset on island.
Mahalo,
I prefer the Isle seat

Mahalo, While I don't know who owns what or who leases or rents from whom but wouldn't patronizing any business on the Alegria property provide income (indirectly) to Alegria or the owner of the property?

If the owner charges rent then that is a constant. They would not benefit by activity in the establishments.
If they participate in running the businesses and share in the profits then they would benefit...
