We, all visitors to Las Vegas, have apparently been ignored in favor of political contributions. The hotel and gambling lobby in Nevada is very strong (see graphics above). What is being done to stop this tourist scam in Las Vegas? There is nothing stopping them from advertising a $1 room and a $99 resort fee, but for now they seem to be set at advertising $27 a night room with a $39.68 resort fee. The Circus Circus and the Excalibur Hotel, both on the Vegas Strip, regularly advertise room rates during the week that are less than their add-on mandatory resort fee.
In a city where tourism is the industry, hotel resort fees are singlehandedly ruining an entire town’s livelihood.ĭo hotels in Las Vegas really regularly advertise rooms that cost less than their resort fees?
The ubiquitous hotel resort fee has caused a downturn in Las Vegas tourism which has resulted in thousands of layoffs at Las Vegas hotels. Today, almost every single hotel in Las Vegas charges resort fees and many Las Vegas hotels now have their deceptive resort fee higher than their advertised room rate. Las Vegas has lots of interesting issues to what is going on in their resort fee scam world. The fees started to pop up about ten years ago and at the time in resort hotels.
