Are resort fees like a tax? If so, should rich people pay more?

If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at YOURSELF. Michael Jackson.

HAD to make a direct political statement huh. Please refer to...

Thread about political threads.

This is precisely correct.

However, the term "scumbag" in this context is superfluous; "lawyer" alone is sufficient.

Since a rather steep room tax is already placed on the rooms (based upon the room rate) I think the high rollers do pay more. But I digress, I don't want to take attention away from your subtle thread title.

Roulette Man - since high rollers are often comped, they do not pay resort fees or room taxes. How unfair is that!

Life is unfair.

High rollers pay their "tax" in the casino. And, yes, they pay more than the low rollers.

Doing away with the so- called "resort fees" would make jphlen's question moot. I also will not stay any any property that charges a" resort fee". To me paying a "resort fee" is akin to paying a PSL that "allows" one to purchase season tickets to NFL games. Just how stupid can people be who pay these fees? Pure idiocy.

Let me see if I have this straight. If Caesars is offering you a room for $89 with no resort fee and Wynn offered a $49 room with a $20 resort fee, you would choose Caesars, right? It's the principle of the thing, I assume?

Really? Where do you stay in Vegas?
Is it on this list?
