Back in September 2017, I blogged about "The Dreaded Las Vegas Resort Fee" that's being charged to guests at Las Vegas hotels.
Last weekend, I stayed two nights at the Excalibur Hotel Casino while in town for a friend's wedding.
I got a good package deal through Travelocity for my flights and hotel room for around $300. Unfortunately, the amount did not include the hotel's "resort fee". When I bought the package, I was told that I would have to pay the hotel $79.36, which is the $35.00/day resort fee and the resort fee tax.
Resort fee tax?!
Obviously, the corporate casino money-grubbing bean counters will squeeze every cent out of visitors.
Excalibur's resort fee is actually two dollars cheaper than some other hotels.
According to The Points Guy (as of March 2020):
Flamingo Las Vegas: $37
Planet Hollywood Las Vegas: $37
Paris Las Vegas: $37
Harrah’s Las Vegas: $37
In the future, if I am to stay in Las Vegas, I will stay at a RV park where no resort fees are charged. It's much cheaper. (The last time I checked (in 2017), Circus Circus RV Park charges resort fees.)
