Yes.
I don't mind resort fees. They're just part of the room rate, listed seperately so that the hotels can advertise a false low rate.
If the room rate is $50 and the resort fee is $10, just get in the habit of thinking of the room rate as $60.
I'd rather they didn't price it this way, but we see this sort of pricing in lots of things we buy (new cars, airline tickets, cell phones). Might as well get used to it, the US doesn't enforce sensible consumer protection laws, so this sort of deceptive pricing simply is not going away.
Just how it is, not worth getting steamed over.
... i agree, who cares about the resort fee ..i stayed comped at mandalay bay, mirage and bellagio, no fee
but even if i had to pay the fee, you get unlimited wireless access, newspaper, cardio room access (mbay), business center use and maybe a drink ticket or something.. internet access and business ctr (for printing boarding passes) use makes it worth it already .. i stayed at the kauai marriott last month with internet access at $14.99 per day and when it came to print boarding passes, it costed $5.24, based on time in their business ctr, to print both my g/f and my own pass
.. however seriously, i lose $20 in 2 slot pulls, so what?
chump change in vegas ..
..in fact, just remember that the currency is being debased anyways in this fiat money system ..i was having a dicussion with someone in this vein and suggested that the prices of materials and other tangible elements have no real bearing on prices.. it is the ridiculous labor charges, unions and many other issues that contribute to what we see (politics, the big corporations, bankers and their freakin charges of interest, greed of those in power, corruption, the aclu, the environmentalists, the media is owned by big money and is there to fill us with propoganda and the governments lies, etc) .. ..the technology we have could make many items last up to 100 years ..however, the way our system is setup forces companies to make things breakable on purpose to keep the sick cycle going .. this is wasteful and a consumerist mentality ..lame
so my suggestion is, don't have children because this world has no future of freedom, it is one of slavery ..the driving force of which is driven by placing all citizens in debt (so-called credit) ..everything in this world is so monumentally stupid ..
.a silly resort fee is the least of your worries .. death is freedom and awaits us all . .
