Question for Anthony about the Golden Nugget

Was looking on their reservation page today and it says no resort fees but I looked on another page on their website and it says they charge a 5 dollar per day Fremont Street Experience fee.

To me that is the same as a resort fee.

My question is legally if I booked and it was not on the reservation would I have to pay that fee?

Also can they actually get in trouble for pulling this stunt?

Thanks

It's all pretty much semantics but the $5 fee is clearly stated on the booking page (albeit slightly buried, but not as buried as the $9.99 resort fee at Silver Sevens, which takes the term "small print" at its most literal -- see right-hand box, right at the bottom: ), and if you book you're required to agree to Terms & Conditions, so you're stuck with it. If there's absolutely no mention of a fee up-front and you can prove that, then you get hit with it at check-out, that's a no-no and you can fight it... Back in 2004, when all this started, Station Casinos was obliged to pay back $2.50-$3/person to 940,000 guests when they added a "stealth" fuel-surcharge fee -- we figure other properties will have learned from that mistake and I doubt you'll find a Vegas property that charges an undisclosed surcharge -- by whatever name. (See Question of the Day 6/16/2007).

I see it now when I scrolled down but I still think what they are doing is terrible. No matter what they call it it is still a resort fee.
