I personally use the park and ride garages since its no longer feasible to dump my car off in the West loop somewhere.

Also, Greektown's huge parking garage is pretty clearly a play to get sports fans to park there and maybe gamble a bit before/after. The casino itself doesn't need as much parking as it has, and they probably would have built less if there weren't two major stadiums just blocks away.

What about the cutting edge and ever reliable People Mover?
Absolutely people visit the casino to validate their parking. And people would park at a chicago casino to access transit and validate their parking. I don't hate that business model but would prefer any such parking situation be tucked behind or beneath active uses.
