Las Vegas Resort Fees — 2026
Every Strip hotel, every fee, no surprises. Updated May 2026.

Resort fees are mandatory — every guest pays them regardless of amenity usage. They're collected at hotel check-in, not at booking. A $89/night room at a $55-fee property costs $144/night in reality. That's a 62% price spike — and why most people feel lied to even when technically the fee was disclosed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A resort fee (also called a facility fee or destination fee) is a mandatory daily charge added on top of your room rate at hotel check-in. It is not optional — every guest pays it regardless of whether they use the included amenities. Las Vegas Strip hotels introduced these fees in the early 2000s as a way to advertise lower room rates while collecting revenue separately.
Hotels deliberately keep resort fees off OTA (online travel agency) rates so that their rooms appear cheaper in search results. OTAs like Expedia and Booking.com historically allowed this because higher commissions from lower base rates benefited both parties. The FTC Junk Fees Rule (effective May 12, 2025) now requires all-in pricing — but compliance is uneven. VegasNearMe shows you the all-in booking rate with no added fees at checkout. Resort fees are paid separately at the hotel at check-in — use this guide to know exactly what to expect.
Typical inclusions: WiFi (in-room and pool area), access to the fitness center, resort pool access, local and domestic long-distance calls, printing credits, and sometimes a daily drink credit. Independent analysis consistently values these amenities at $10–18/day for an average guest — meaning you're paying $50–55 for ~$14 in actual value you'd use. The rest subsidizes the hotel's infrastructure.
Yes, in specific circumstances:
If an amenity is unavailable: If the pool is closed, the gym is under renovation, or WiFi doesn't work during your stay, request a partial refund at the front desk. Hotels are legally required to provide what you're paying for. Document the issue (photos, timestamps) and escalate to a manager if the front desk refuses.
Elite status: Marriott Bonvoy Platinum/Titanium/Ambassador members can often waive resort fees at Marriott properties. Caesars Diamond/Diamond+ sometimes waives fees. Always ask at check-in — the worst they can say is no.
Points bookings: Award stays at some properties (Hyatt) do not charge resort fees. Check before booking on points.
Casino host relationship: If you're a known high-value player, your casino host can often comp the resort fee for your stay.

They're being forced into the open, not eliminated. The FTC Junk Fees Rule (effective May 2025) requires all-in price display wherever a rate is advertised. Nevada SB 3 (effective July 1, 2026) adds state-level enforcement. The Hotel Fees Transparency Act passed the US House in April 2025 and awaits the Senate.
What this means in practice: resort fees won't disappear, but they must be included in the headline price. Hotels will likely raise their advertised room rate to absorb the fee, or bundle it so it looks different. The fee itself — the hotel's revenue — isn't going anywhere.
