Las Vegas Hotel Resort Fee

 

Las Vegas hotel resort fee is nothing new and Las Vegas hotels are not the only hotels that impose such a fee. Analysts believe that at least 10 percent of the hotels in the United States currently charge resort fees.

 

What is a resort fee you ask! Resort fees are surcharges imposed by hotels to cover everything from local phone calls to guest use of the gym. Some of the things that are included in a resort fee really should be included in the cost of a hotel room.

 

Unfortunately more and more Las Vegas hotels are adopting this method of making extra profit and quietly imposing these unpopular surcharges. It used to be all it took to have the fee waived was a polite complaint, but not anymore. Increasingly, most Las Vegas hotels are refusing to remove fees when a customer complains.

Are the resort fees unethical? Yes. Are they illegal? Unfortunately No, as long as it is disclosed. All Las Vegas hotel disclose their resort fee and what that fee get's you. Make sure you read fine print before booking, since these fees are not added to your bill until you checkout. If you are not sure what the fee is, call the hotel and ask.

 

Note: Resort fees are charged per night (plus tax)

The Four Seasons is now charging a resort fee. I believe it's about $20 a night. That made the decision to go to the Mandarin Oriental (with no fee but also no free wifi) easier for me.

Monte Carlo is now 16.80 a night. My 35.00 room now turns to 52 a nite... Still not bad but I wish they'd give the option to waive the amenities. Admin:  Thanks Shelley. There should be a law against it.
