Not only can we, but we already do -- and we updated the list only yesterday, just to make sure it was all shiny and up-to-date in time for your answer.
Resort fees are one of the areas that we make a special effort to keep accurate, since we're involved in recommending hotel deals and those oft-hated fees have a habit of changing with some frequency and little fanfare. The latest trend is the introduction of resort fees downtown, where the Plaza was, until recently, the lone perpetrator, but has now been joined by the Golden Nugget, with Golden Gate and the D jumping on that bandwagon come August 19.
While for many people these mandatory charges are by their very nature anathema, we've grown to take a more pragmatic view in terms of breaking down the declared value and analyzing whether or not it's possible for a guest to get value for money from a nightly resort fee, once you've gotten past the instinctive sense that you're somehow being ripped off or nickel-and-dimed.
With the average going rate for à la carte hotel-Internet access running at approximately $12.99/night, if you plan on getting online while in your room/hotel and the resort fee is anything less than $13, then you're probably getting a deal, especially if you add in a bottle of water, which is also a pretty standard part of the package and could easily cost you $2.50 or more in the gift shop. It also depends what you're doing online (not that we're trying to pry): If you're simply checking your email, then the free WiFi that's soon to be resort-wide at all MRI properties may have you scratching your head as to why you're paying $28/night in your room for the ability to stream hi def videos that you have no intention of watching, for example. You really do have to examine each fee in terms of your personal habits to gauge whether or not you're getting value.
As another example, an increasing number of hotels are including some kind of cocktail deal in their nightly charges, so drinkers tend to come out ahead of you teetotalers out there. There's often an entertainment component, too, as with the about-to-debut fees at Golden Gate/the D, where $10 off any show at the D might be the clincher as to whether it's a value for you paying $20 on top of what's almost certainly a low nightly room rate. If you're staying one night and are happy to eat at the hotel's buffet, you may again find value; if you're staying for a week and plan to eat one or two meals in the buffet, but not dine there on a daily basis, then you won't want to cough up for a buffet-inclusive fee every day.
Here's the bottom line: If you're coming to Las Vegas to get fit on a treadmill, have some essential documents notarized, get a shoe-shine, and chat on the phone with all your local friends (as opposed to visiting them in person, even though you're in the same town), then pretty much any resort-fee package is going to be a boon for you; if, however, you drove to Las Vegas (so have no need of printing a boarding pass) and came here to relax and unwind -- which means deliberately staying off the abdomenizer, saying yes to yard-long cocktails served in novelty plastic receptacles, and ignoring work emails -- then you may well be better off trying to locate a hotel that doesn't charge you for amenities that you are consciously avoiding.
We've also been wrestling with how to list these charges, since some hotels state their resort fee inclusive of tax, while others don't. To avoid confusion, we have opted to list them on our site just as the host property does, so if they're quoting fees inclusive of tax, so do we and we make that clear -- and vice versa.
Now that all that's been established, here, without further ado, is a fresh-out-of-the-oven Las Vegas Hotel Resort Fee list, inclusive of the amenities included. Use it wisely!
