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.

Because I simply don't feel like using it. The only thing I use is the towel service at the pool. Because that's where part of my vacation is spent. I choose not to use the internet during my vacation. I choose not to make all kinds of phone calls or send or receive faxes. I'M ON VACATION. If people want to use those things, more power to them. I don't, I also don't worry about something as futile as a resort fee when I know my stay is going to be comped and I'm going to spend way more on gambling than on "paying a resort feee". Compare Vegas room rates to other cities in the world and you'll see very quickly that the amount of luxury you get in Vegas exceeds the vast majority of hotel rooms in other parts of the world considering the price you're paying. As soon as I have to worry about a resort fee, I'll travel to another destination. You go ahead and continue your crusade against resort fees, which in the end will change absolutely nothing.....
