Oh those horrid Resort Fees

     I'm surprised more people don't protest all those add on fees.  I recently found a print out receipt of a 4 night stay at TI, summer of 2015.  With the extra taxes, charges, etc. I didn't even recognize the bill when I added it up.  Advertised room rate was barely a third of the actual final charge.

     Maybe it wouldn't seem quite as insulting if the property would inform you -

     For the added $49 you will receive a complimentary book of coupons, one complimentary non alcoholic beverage from the in room fridge, one 24 hour bus pass, etc.  

     If all the properties weren't so shortsighted they'd realize visitors would tell people they know (and/or here on the Forums) that that particular casino gave them a better deal.

     Am sure someone will tell me I'm totally unrealistic.

The Biden administration ultimately forced the casinos away from the "surprise" resort fee bullshit, so they just switched to other hidden surcharges.

That said, the current charges scam seems to be much worse on the Strip. I always stay at the Four Queens, and while they do try--once--to upsell you, if you decline, that's all you'll hear of it. The estimate they send you with your confirmation email is what you'll be actually charged.

The Strip is suffering now, because people are voting with their wallets. I personally wouldn't care if the whole place, from Sahara to Russell, burned to the ground. They offer nothing I want.

The Strip casinos keep people away from the places I like to go  We need them for compition.  What is often bad for some is good for others

The TI will waive the resort fee if you ask & the parking is free.  One of the better strip deals
