Common questions
What is a Las Vegas resort fee?
A mandatory nightly charge added at check-in on top of your room rate. It typically covers wifi, the fitness centre and local calls, whether you use them or not. Most Strip hotels charge $35–$55 per night plus tax.
Which Las Vegas hotels have no resort fee?
Mostly Downtown and off-Strip properties: Four Queens, El Cortez, Golden Gate, The Orleans, Gold Coast, South Point and Suncoast. On the Strip itself, Casino Royale is the best-known no-resort-fee option.
Can you get a resort fee waived?
Sometimes. Casino hosts and higher-tier loyalty status (MGM Rewards, Caesars Rewards) can waive fees on comped stays. Booking with points often waives them too. Asking at the front desk rarely works on a paid rate.
How much does a resort fee add to a Vegas trip?
At $45 per night plus roughly 13.38% Clark County room tax, four nights adds about $204 to your bill — often more than the difference between two hotels you were choosing between.
