Some Las Vegas Hotels Are Dropping Resort Fees

For years, Las Vegas was the undisputed king of resort fees, and they could be as high as $60 per night.

Then came the economic realities of tourism numbers, which dropped 6% last year and have not yet rebounded.

The response from hotels?

Some dropped resort fees entirely.

Others introduced all-inclusive packages.

MGM Resorts launched a bundle at the Luxor and Excalibur starting at $330 plus tax for two people for two nights, including three meals a day, two show tickets, and parking.

Caesars followed at the Flamingo, Harrah’s, and The LINQ, starting at $200 a night with meals at celebrity chef restaurants, bottomless drinks, and two tickets to the High Roller Observation Wheel.

Resorts World also entered the market at $150 per person per night — with no resort fees.
