Why Are Resort Fees Waived?

Resort fees in Las Vegas are typically mandatory, but they can be waived under certain conditions. These include having elite loyalty status with the hotel chain, booking a comped room, or using points for your stay.

Understanding Resort Fees

Nearly every hotel on the Strip charges a nightly resort fee in addition to the room rate, which covers amenities like Wi-Fi and gym access, regardless of whether you use them. This fee generally ranges from the mid-$30s to mid-$50s, but it can vary by property, so it's essential to verify the current amount before booking.

Conditions for Waiving Resort Fees

Resort fees are generally non-negotiable at the front desk. However, they can be waived if you hold a higher tier in loyalty programs such as MGM Rewards or Caesars Rewards, or if your room is comped or booked using points. Always confirm any waivers in writing to avoid unexpected charges.

Conclusion

While resort fees are a common practice in Las Vegas, understanding the conditions under which they can be waived can help you save money during your stay. Always check with the hotel directly for the most accurate and current information.
