Plaza to charge RESORT FEE

For some people, life is easier that way. Black and white, good and evil, etc. etc.

OMG, are you telling me the price I pay might not be the price in the ad?? It's the work of Satan himself!!

It would seem to me with Vegas needing to pick up some people to stay at their casinos, that they would rethink this "resort fee" charge. Why don't they just include it in the price? You have to know it irritates people when they check in and are advised of this fee.

CET may have some lower paying VP and slots, but are they really much different than anyone else? I don't think so.

Bob, the difference between 9/6 vs 8/5 is 70 coins an hour on average. So at the quarter level, for example, the payout is $17.50 less per HOUR, equivalent to a resort fee for every HOUR-plus of play.

That actually proves how short sighted people can be. Now they're cheering for Caesers but they don't seem to remember they were the ones that started that whole resort fee nonsense......

I completely agree with Friedmush's last post saying "some are missing the point". There's more to it than just the resort fee. I'm just glad to see I won't ever be staying at the same place as Dr. Idiot! I only stay at places that do charge the resort fee and I never use WIFI or any of the other included nonsense. My rooms are always comped and that includes the resort fee. At the same time, it's kinda stupid to get all wired up about a resort fee while you drop a couple of 100's a day at the tables or the slots.

I thought the MGM properties were the ones that started the resort fees. When was there a resort fee at Caesars?

Nope, HET (now CET) properties where the first to charge a resort fee. And after almost everybody else started to charge these fees they turned around and made it a big marketing thing. "No resort fees when you're stying with us, aren't we customer friendly?". I believe the sleeze factor at CET is even bigger because of this approach.

I don't ever remember a resort fee at a Harrahs owned property, even when my offers were buy 1 night, get 1 night. LurkerPoster, are you suggesting Caesars properties had a resort fee back when they were the Park Place Properties group?

lurkerposter- Dr. Idiot here, and I would like to ask- if you only stay at locations that comp your rooms (and their "resort fee"), why would you not use all of the wonderful "resort fee" included nonsense? Could it be that you realize that the "included nonsense" has no real value? The only possible included item with any value would be wi-fi, which can be found almost everywhere in Vegas for free. I don't imagine that many Vegas visitors go to Vegas to spend hours a day sitting in their rooms using their computer. The real rip off part of the "resort fees" is that visitors are having to pay extra, per day, for things that they never use or want. If you want to compare room prices with and without "resort fees", go ahead. The bottom line is that even if you choose the cheaper room price that has a "resort fee" you are still paying more for that room than you would pay if that room did not have the "resort fee". But it is your money, spend it ant way you want.

See, this is your logical fallacy. The room DOES have a resort fee. It never doesn't. Your argument is called a "straw man."

A hotel cannot be run like a McDonalds restaurant, where customers pick and choose exactly what they want from a menu, and pay for toilet paper by the square. If you don't like the ammenities at a particular hotel, stay somewhere else, but please stop whining about vast pecuniary conspiracies and the fools who succumb to them.
