What is a resort fee in Las Vegas?
Understanding Resort Fees
In Las Vegas, resort fees are a common practice among hotels, especially on the Strip. These fees can range from the mid-$30s to mid-$50s per night, but the exact amount varies by property, so it's essential to verify the current fee before booking your stay.
Resort fees are generally non-negotiable at the front desk, but they can sometimes be waived for guests with elite loyalty status, comped rooms, or points stays at certain hotel chains. Always confirm any waivers in writing to avoid surprises.
Budgeting for Your Stay
When planning your budget for a Las Vegas trip, remember to account for the room rate plus the resort fee, taxes, parking fees (if applicable), tips, and any minimums for drinks or other services. The advertised room rate is rarely the total cost you'll end up paying.
