Las Vegas Resort Fees

What is a resort fee? It’s a charge added to your bill on a nightly basis for “services”. These charges are not listed until the ordering screen purchasing a vacation package, from a travel agent or on Expedia like sites.

In some rare cases the charge is actual worth the service (provided that you use it). Unfortunately in most instances it is purely an under-handed cash grab to up the overall cost per nights stay.

If you are strongly against the extra fees you should make an effort to stay at hotels (and chains) that do not charge the added fee. While the number of hotels that do not charge a fee is shrinking, they can be found in all classes (2* to 5*) and locations (strip, off-strip and downtown).

Quick Reference

Now onto the Complete Resort Fee List:

Note: The majority of these rates do not include an additional tax of 12%. Ie a $10 resort fee will total $12.00 after tax. Blue Prices Include Tax

How to read. The list is broken up into Las Vegas Strip and off-strip locations.

Green = Included in Fee

Red = Not Included

Coupons, etc = can include free/discounted drinks,meals,show tickets, etc. Can also include shuttles, etc.

   If the tourism industry is hurting in LV, the last think you need to do is add hidden charges. Flying to Vegas has gotten more expensive, limited not stop flights, baggage fees, leg room fees, etc. Vegas used to be a quick inexpensive trip. At the fees I’m seeing, there are plenty of other places I’d rather go.

   Just thought would mention that we have stayed at the Excalibur in Las vegas lots and I noticed that the resort fee is now $14.00 per night.We usually go for 7-10 nights that adds up….Last spring was in vegas on business and stayed at planet hollywood and no resort fee.Makes this hotel even though more money to stay but no resort fee and nicer hotel.Back to vegas next time at Planet hollywood.

   Not just casino resorts.. I just came back from a week at the timeshare condo, the Desert Paradise Resort, on Decatur south of Tropicanna. While an excellent resort overall, they too charged ($6.99 /day) to use their internet hotspot to use our own computer.. yet, they had a couple of internet stations in the main office building which we could use for free.. when they were not occupied. Needless to say, we declined this expensive offer – We took our iPad and iPhones to the parking lot of Starbucks on the corner and did it for free.

   Stayed at the Palms Hotel during Thanksgiving weekend. Didn’t know they had resort fees which is $15 a day. On top of that, their coupons were not worth it, because I went to other casinos, and the deals were much better & excellent service + food. Internet fee is $25 for 24 hours PER LAPTOP. using their SmartWater is $8 each, and canned sodas in the refreshment fridge was $6 each. Laundry was an average of $8 per clothing item plus an additional fee for dry-cleaning. I am NEVER ever going stay here ever again. I hope they go out of business. They’re expensive!!

   Hidden fees are getting out of control. I stayed at the Palms, and when I asked the front desk to mail some letters for me (10 things, already stamped), they sent me to the business center, where I was told it would cost me five dollars per envelope. No way was I paying them 50 bucks! I caught the bus down the road about a mile to the post office and will never stay there again.

   Good to know… A way to fight resort fees is to go to your bank after paying it and dispute the charge… even if the bank decides it is a valid charge (they won’t), it still costs the resort $20 that they have to pay to the bank!
   but make sure you let the resort know why you are disputing it.

   This is geting out of hand. The Four Seasons wants to charge 250-400 a night and then an additional $20.00. Between the airlines and resorts picking our pockets it is almost not even worth it to travel any more. I urge everyone to go to non-fee resorts and hotels.
