$20 resort fee at the D™ and golden gate?

I booked for Oct. two days ago. They comp. us one day and said no resort fees as long as at least one day comp.

Doing my own research, I noticed that the room rates on The D's website were about $20 lower than before the fee was instituted. I think it's all about having a lower room rate for people using websites like Expedia, etc. It's all about having the lowest rate appear during an internet search....

Actually, it is all about finding another way to gouge the Vegas visitor.

My reply to 145tech.. Makes sense now that you brought up the example with Expedia, if they lower the normal price ,it will be Expedia & Priceline and the other websites the will be getting screwed out of commission dollars.

D owner Derek Stevens went on the Vegas Gang podcast recently to explain the resort charge.and yes it is all about optimizing where the hotel appears on search engines. He said their bookings were suffering because of this. He also said room rates would be lowered to compensate and there would be no resort fee on comped rooms.

If it keeps the Houston whiners from staying downtown I'm all for it.

Gourd(melon)head- Each time I read a response such as yours, I am reminded of a quote by Euripides- "talk sense to a fool and they call you foolish".

doc- Each time I read another angry old man post from you I am reminded of a quote by my good friend Farquar McKracken- "yada yada yada yahoo!"
