Golden Nugget "Fremont Street Experience Fee"

treegirl- " I remember you now. You were that stick in the mud we keep running into in Vegas. You complain about pay tables as you are hitting the buttons and cursing the dealer at the BJ table after you split 9's against his face card. You shove your way through the buffet line just to tell everyone how bad the food is. etc.etc." And who can forget you, with your know -it-all attitude? I have lived thru the changes in Vegas during my 25 years of visiting and happen to know what I am talking about. What you call complaints are, in fact, reasons why Vegas is becoming less attractive to me. I say to you, go ahead and keep paying more for less if you so desire. I realize that what I am saying will have no positive effect on you. Apparently you can't recognize reality for what it is. You are the very type of person Vegas is courting, the smart mouthed, demanding, entitled, insulting credit card wielding money wasting fool that spends more than they should while trying to impress. Some others find your postings here entertaining, I don't. You wait in the wings and then spring forth with your insults and foul mouth whenever the chance appears. I, for one, am tired of your act. Have a nice day.
Fremont Street is private property, right? Just close it off like they do on New Years Eve and charge $5.00 for a 24 hour pass ($10 under 21). Gets rid of the riff-raff.
I wish hotels would factor in ALL costs of doing business into room rate, have one rate plus tax. Somehow, somewhere, someone decided it sounds better if the room costs 29.95 + ___ + ___ + tax for a grand total of $55.23. Because the average traveler sucks up, says oh well, whatever, and pays the BS fees without complaining, they're probably here to stay.

Where in this world do rates/prices/amenities stay the same?
Yes, I may throw out an "F-bomb" here and there but you sir have a complete illogical way of looking at things.
I'm thinking you have a permanent brain fart.

You're missing the point. They are charging for things that 95% of the people don't use. I don't need the internet they provide. I carry my own mobile "hot spot". I don't use the gym. I don't belong to a health club at home. Why do I want to work out on a vacation. Newspaper???? Why do I care that a store is selling bananas for $.50 a pound. If I want the news, I'll get on the internet. Fancy pools??? Water is water. They're the ones that spent millions on the damn thing to entice me to stay there. That's on them, not me. Tell me ONE good reason to pay the extortion money and I'll be quiet.

Because it may still be cheaper than staying somewhere else that doesn't charge for things you don't use?

If I plan my trip far enough out, I can find a hotel for less than $30 a day without the fees. Next.

Edited to add the low room rates at the El Cortez.

Ok. Just suppose you could find a hotel with the fees for $25 a day. That would be good reason, no?
