Las Vegas Resort Fees 2022 Guide
We manually checked over 100 Vegas hotels to update our resort fee list for 2022!
Here is a quick reminder if you’re new to the idea of resort fees:
What is a Resort Fee?
In recent years, most Las Vegas hotels have implemented “resort fees.”
These daily supplementary charges are not included in the initial booking cost (when booked through the hotel website or via a third party). The fees are due to the hotel at the end of the stay. In other words, you pay resort fees upon check out.
In return, these supplementary fees allow you access to some of the services within the facility.
For several years, these resort fees have been a source of contention as consumers believe that they are, in many ways, hidden charges. Indeed, they are managed completely independently of the quoted nightly room rate, so upon booking, the price per night offered might seem lower.
Quoted prices never include resort fees, which can create confusion for the customer who finds out only when he has to pay the bill at the end of his stay.
On January 5, 2017, the Federal Trade Commission released an Economic Analysis of Hotel Resort Fees concluding that:
This analysis finds that separating mandatory resort fees from posted room rates without first disclosing the total price is likely to harm consumers by increasing the search costs and cognitive costs of finding and choosing hotel accommodations.
And yet, resort fees persist.
If you are looking to book a hotel in Las Vegas you can find on our website a comprehensive list of all Las Vegas hotel deals & discounts available. When making your hotel reservations – either directly on the hotel websites or through tour operators and travel agents – we advise you to be very vigilant about resort fees in order to take them into account in your travel budget!
This is why we’ve compiled below the complete list of Las Vegas hotel resort fees that includes the amount charged and the inclusions.
Note that the amounts are given before taxes which, at present, would add an additional 13.38%!
You will notice that the highest resort fees reach $45.95 per night before tax, which is $52.10 including tax per night! In some cases, the resort fee can be higher than the room rate!
Las Vegas Resort Fee increases in 2022:
Most of the 98 hotels listed below increased their resort fees in the recent months, although the increases were not as spectacular as what we witnessed in previous years.
Fun fact: if you book one night in each of these 98 hotels in 2022 it will cost you $3,029.74 (+tax) in resort fees. This is an average of $31.89 per hotel!
The average resort fee amount early last year was $30.19, that’s a 5% increase!

Mr Riposki says , do not visit Lost Vegas, you will not win anymore
IF YOU PLAY ON THE STRIP YOU WILL NOT WIN.IT IS BEST TO PLAY AT THE CASINOS OFF THE STRIP.THERE IS BETTER CHANCES OF WINNING OFF STRIP AND I CAN ATTEST TO THAT.I HAVE NOT VISITED STRIP CASINOS IN PROBABLY IN 7 YEARS.SO MUCH BETTER WINNING OFF STRIP
How can you “Attest to that” if you havent visited a Strip casino in 7 years
Good question. I have played on the strip and won. Everyone has their superstitions.
In The Past I’ve asked the question .
what specifically are the resort fees for and I understand the internet the gym blah blah blah whatever they made up …I mean why iS A $100 room just $100, why do they add “Resort FEE” feels like some type of scam or joke like we’re idiots, I’m not sure ..no one has ever answer that question for me… I’m even trying to search it on the internet… is it a Tax thing Etc, initially I figured it was so the room would look cheaper and then boom they hit you with the resort fee ..but that’s old now ” we all know” …so WHY?
It’s a way to hide pricing and for the rooms to show at a lower price than they really are in website searches. A recent example: LINQ Hotel showed rooms at a rate of $39.68/night recently on Expedia. Buried in their pricing there was language “does not include resort fee”. So the room shows up as cheap in a website search but in reality the room, when the resort fee is added, is $79.36 (which is still competitive, since the majority of the other hotels do the same thing: list the “room” price without the resort fee, which they will add when you check in.) Additionally, taxes as an amount are usually not added, just mentioned. So your “bargain” is quickly not what you thought it was.
A part of “business” in the US is trying to extract as much money from you as they can even if it means you’re upset at check-in when presented the bill and your choice if you object is to wheel your luggage down the Strip to try to find a cheaper room because you didn’t read their fine print.
It sucks. I wish Expedia and the other search engines listed the actual price you’ll need to pay as their Search price rather than the “Room Price” to which you then need to add the “Resort Fee” and sometimes other required charges (taxes, etc.)
After Vegas Disneyfied into a “family” destination it was no longer a bargain that made up for it in gambling revenue. No more $5.99 buffets or the other perks to lure you in.
Just stay away from LV if you want a vacation during which you can relax, have fun, enjoy and afford.
And yes, they do think we are “idiots” and see the confusion enough times at check-in to confirm that; especially if we think we got a “deal”.
I work at a beautiful resort in Vegas… Desert Club Resort 1/2 a block from the strip. We have gorgeous 1 and 2 bedroom villas and we have never charged parking or resort fees. Vegas isn’t always about the strip. We have 4 pools and activities every day. Our city is totally worth coming to!
I just called the Desert Club Resort in Las Vegas and its actually a Holiday inn.
However when I ask them if they have a resort fee, they told me yes, but its only $15.00 a night.
Are there any descent hotels in old Vegas?
They do it so they can offer “free” rooms to high rollers. You still pay the resort fee on comped rooms
Virgin hotel does charge a resort fee
Now. $51/night
You do not pay resort fees as a high roller. I don’t even consider myself that and I haven’t paid them in years. Only the low- mid level rewards members will pay those on comped rooms. I am a rewards member at both MGM resorts and Caesar’s and don’t pay a dime for my stays- in fact they give me money to play with each visit to gamble with- and I am at the highest tier at either place.
They get money out it me with playing… which is why they want me there, often. Trust me- they make more money off of the people in the “comped” rooms then anyone paying for the room/fees.
* meant I am NOT at the highest tier level ..
Nope. Not even close. If you’re paying resort fees on a comped room- you’re NOT a high roller. You’re not even a roller. I am mid level at both MGM and Caesar’s and haven’t paid a resort fee on comped rooms since I was at the first tier. And trust me- that are making more $ from the people in the comped rooms then those paying for a room.
Resort fees are a pure cash grab…. very simple. And generally when your room is comped you don’t pay the resort fee either
Yes u still pay resort fee and taxes per day
Fees for everything seem to just keep rising and rising. Pretty soon it’s going to cost $100 to take out $20 at an ATM machine. Hopefully, we’ll be rich soon so that we can keep up with the price increases everywhere.
I agree, but, if you’re a person that likes to work out, swim, like morning coffee, there’s a bright side. Starbucks is $7 a cup, pool fees are $20 a pop, gym is $20 a pop. Resort fees all of a sudden look like a bargain.
Splurge, treat ourselves sometimes.
Here’s something millions don’t know, legally you have the right to refuse to pay the resort fee, it’s up to the supervisors at the front desk if it can be waved. Sometimes there’s a nice person there.
I say give it a try, if they say there’s the door, pay the fee and enjoy your trip. If the fee is waved, leave a tip for the desk clerk, bell hop and housekeeping with it. They will appreciate the extra cash daily.
Would be nice if the fee went directly to the staff like Norwegian does on their cruises. There’s a $14 fee daily perp person per room, it goes directly to housekeeping, waiters and bartenders.
That’s a few I have no complaint on paying.
Whatever you decide, have a great time on your vaca. We have all had a rough 16 months. Vegas is sounding great to me right now.
Stay safe
I don’t understand why they charge resort fees, when most of the hotels around the world all have free Wi-Fi pools gyms and no hidden costs,price per night and no added feed
…because they can.
I am one of the VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS who will not even consider going to Las Vegas for a gambling vacation. I love to gamble. It is FUN !!! Primarily Texas Hold ‘em, a little “21”, & Roulette !!! It’s really thrilling. I miss it. But I can NOT have a good time when they change from being a For-Profit and cross the line into being a Pro-RipOff! I suggest they stop the FRAUD!!! I budget $12-20K to play with, depending upon how much time I have to stay. I stayed at a Motel Six out of town & took my cash with me. No gambling, no shopping, no dining, I AM NOT COMING to be abused. I’ll give it all to the Indians to which we owe so much to anyway! Leadership there must take affirmative steps to prohibit this obscenity! Honesty is Essential!!! I prefer to go many other places before I ever consider going back to Las Vegas! GAMBLING IS NOW EVERYWHERE! And do NOT put me onto your SPAM LIST !!! SHAME ON LAS VEGAS! Come visit South Beach / SOBE / MIAMI BEACH / MIAMI instead, where we have Casinos of Seminole AND Miccosukee & the best clubs anywhere! And great looking people, too!
You summed it up very well
They do it because enough people will pay it. If people stopped booking altogether, you could watch those resort fees vanish and prices come down. It’s all about supply and demand and what the market will bear, and corporations will push that envelope as hard as they possibly can.
Rent a car in Vegas for 3 weeks?
Base Price: 1252.00
Taxes and Fees: 510.80
Insurance: 608.79
Total: 2731.59, or $112.93 per day.
Even if you don’t get the insurance (which almost no one should) the taxes and fees add 40% to the “base price.” Clark County Tax, Airport concession (10%), Consolidated facility charge (what the hell is that?), Government fee (10%), Vehicle License cost, and sales tax. And don’t forget $50.00 per day on top of all that just because we love shoving a glass cactus up your butt and can get away with it. (Just kidding, but that’s what it feels like).
If you do your quick and easy research, this is technically illegal to. It is also highly recommended to stand your ground and refuse to pay it. If you STILL end up paying, call your credit card company and give them detailed information (talked to ?, didn’t use ??? services, charged WITHOUT your consent) and most of the time it’ll be removed. Most people either don’t know or don’t care.
The “resort fee” fiasco has even caught on to the budget hotels ie: Super 8 on the strip and Travelodge by Circus Circus charge an extra fee. Resort fees are here to say and keep climbing every year. Eventually it will catch up to Las Vegas with many states having casinos and now sports betting. How these new mega resorts will survive after the newness wears off is beyond me.
Seems like a big scam and everyone is paying without taking any notice. So sad.
The Gold Coast resort fee is now $29.47.
Thank you Manuel i just updated the list! ($25.99+tax)
BConnected resorts such as the Orleans, Gold Coast, Main Street Station, California, and Fremont do not charge a resort fee on comped rooms.
Hotels pay commission to booking agencies but do not want to pay the appropriate percentage on the whole deal. So they shave off as much as they dare (calling it a resort fee) and the customer pays that “fee” actually at the hotel when visiting. In this way the hotels avoid paying a HUGE amount of commission to agents. Probably, in the case of Vegas that amounts to millions of dollars!
I believe palace station is higher threat u list.
I work at a beautiful resort in Vegas… Desert Club Resort 1/2 a block from the strip. We have gorgeous 1 and 2 bedroom villas and we have never charged parking or resort fees. Vegas isn’t always about the strip. We have 4 pools and activities every day. Our city is totally worth coming to!
Cassninteen, what’s the name of the hotel pls?
Hi Kenny,
It looks like she is talking about the “Holiday Inn Club Vacations At Desert Club Resort”.
They have amenities fee included of 15 – not sure what makes it a resort as it just has one pool
I have visited Vegas about 14 times.
No longer as I wish to go to hotels where I am respected and treated fair.
There are many places you can stay at in the world that do not rip you off.
So I now go elsewhere.
Las Vegas has been my “second home” for many years. I visit 4-8 times per year. I live on the east coast.
The resort fee it’s per room or per person?
Hello David, Resort Fee is charged per room per night.
this is why they charge themm…because people of this level of intelligence
I think you’re rude .. maybe they’ve never travelled to vegas before .. it was a genuine question .. whether pp or p room .. have a little more compassion and less snide comments on others intellect.
Just get extra towels and take them. I get enough to pay for the resort fee daily screw them
Tonight my husband & I (locals) walked right out of the Flamingo. Room rates advertised A SPECIAL: $36 per night. We checked in on a kiosk which was very confusing as it said: includes room taxes, resorts fees & a $200 deposit will be charged. At the check out before we proceeded our credit card it finally snuck in resort fees. I looked at the website again & it was so HARD TO FIND! 3rd page of Terms & Conditions half way down tiny print. It was very hidden. I asked to talk to the manager who wasn’t at all nice . I told her how deceptive it was. She said, “ that’s what we charge, it never changes.” Then she told me I may get charged if I cancel. I told her again, “ wrong, deceptive &! I will keep calling boss after boss higher & higher until I received an app root answer I asked to speak to the manager & she said she was. I asked to talk to her supervisor. She wouldn’t give me the number, but cancelled out reservation. We drove out of the parking lot to not have to pay $12. Sat there looking for a room with out a resort fee. Almost impossible. We went home out of the sheer point of the deception. The food is so expensive, they charge parking, the machines don’t hit anymore, gift shops are a rip off & the resort fee. I’m done with the B.S.!
Wow. I have been going to las vegas since the early 80’s and over the years I have noticed these now incredible prices on everything. Food used to be almost free. I go every year to play in the world series except last year which was canceled (probably this yr too). I’m big on laying at the pool. I have just been searching for a non resort fee place and I may check out the Desert Club on my next visit. Just looking at that website as we speak.
Virgin Hotel doesn’t charge a resort fee nor any fees for valet. However, their restaurants are VERY pricey..even the Dunkin donuts concession in my opion was over priced. I bought a donut and breakfast sandwhich (that was it, not coffee or other beverages) and the total came to over $13.00.
However, their pool area is outstanding. It’s huge and heated to perfection. I would book there again, just for the pool…but NOTHING else. Try to find deals on 3rd party booking sites.
alot of the comp rooms don’t charge it.
This thread has some really insightful comments… Perhaps I can expand on them…
RIPOSKI JONWEIGAL: it’s not if you win or lose its the “action”. If you don’t know that… you already lost. I bet you rock at Scrabble tho huh?
MARK: They don’t “think” you are an idiot, Mark… you are an idiot. Wait till he finds out the gratuity is included at his local Applebee’s all of this time.
DANA: Yes… why Dana?
MARILYN: oh dear woman…. you figured out high roller system! (Not really. Close tho… Just kidding not even remotely close)
GARY BROWN: you should do a buddy cop movie with Marilyn.
ARLO: I know dude… It’s insane! Like gas used to cost $1.35 …and now it’s $4.
PAULA: *See John’s reply below.
MARTIN: The Travelodge by Circus Circus does NOT have a resort fee. I’m sitting in it right now. Motel 6 and motels like these do not have resort fees. Many states DO have casinos now, and have for decades. But Vegas no longer relies on gambling only… gambling is less then 50% of revenue now. And mega resorts have been here now for 30 years. I think the “newness ” has worn off. Otherwise great post and info!
FAISAL KHAN: I knew a mouse once named Faisal. Cool mouse.
Manuel Bostos: good input Manny!!
Mike Wilson: almost Mike. Recently discovered the booking websites owe Vegas hotels millions in revenue.
PHILIP MILLINGER: So you think it will take 14 trips to worldly places to learn they don’t respect you? And do you yell at kids to get off your lawn? I think you do.
KAREN: you are why people come here. But don’t waste time trying to convince people who rant on Yelp…
STEVE: Starts with towels, Steve…then you’re stealing cars. Also … maybe stealing their towels is why they “screw” you with resort fees? Hmmm.
WAIT!!! Hold everything. Lol in
Heidi: did you say gift shops are rip offs? When did that happen?
Well who died and made you the authority on everything Vegas? Wait,… this just in…. PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCES!!!
Gary, kind of a smarmy little fucker, aren’t you. Enjoy your only friend The Internet Comment Section.
Wow. What a smug, obnoxious, post. You sure do like yourself.
This is hilarious! Thank you! Made my day because exactly what I was thinking.
I live in California and the resort fee reminds me of Pizza Hut’s mandatory Service Fee for “doing business in California.” Thankfully there are LOTS of better options available and I have not stepped in to a Pizza Hut since.
As for Vegas, everybody is trying to separate you from your money (or more of your money) so you have to do your due diligence. It shouldn’t be that way but that is the reality, just like in life. I will go with the lowest final price, with or without fees, if the place meets my standard. In case you haven’t noticed, cost of living/maintenance has gone up. Resort fees started around 2000s. You don’t expect your salary to stay the same as decades ago do you? (Or your company tells you they have the option to give you a raise and they choose not to.)
PS: That Desert Club Resort on Koval Lane now has $15/day resort fee. Looking at their rates, they are higher than my Wynn suite rate, and I am not even a high roller. If you have a family and use their amenities, that may be worth it to you.
They ruined vegas. I stayed at the sratosphere. Over priced on everything. Resort fees to line politics pockets. Atm charges. Poor drinks and food. Mafia ran vegas was way better. No more trips to vegas. Enough people stop going they will stop ripping people off.
Like many others I am going to vegas for a conference with no time to use pools etc ( which ‘right now’ are closed anyway )
I certainly DO. Feel ripped off – because its not a choice ….
I will not use public wifi – i use my phone hot spot.
I think if they are going to try to charge these fees then everything needs to be updated
Extra sockets especially for charging usb . Extea lights so you can damn well function . Mirrors to the floor for ladies getting dressed up. Remote controls that you dont have to call housekeeping to get a replacement.
Free bottles of water ( 17c at trader joe)
So many small things could be improved.
Interesting comments. Unfortunately resort fees have become the norm. Yes, these fees, the high price of buffets and food, seldom seen cocktail waitresses on the floor, ridiculously prices shows, etc. have ruined Vegas. Unfortunately, even Laughlin’s casinos charge the fees. Now to top it off most are increasing the fees. Sure the casinos have taken a beating during Covid. However like many businesses don’t understand instead of raising prices, you lower prices and make up the difference with volume. Once a business looses a customer not only does that customer never return but they tell 10 or more friends about the business.
I have been going to Las Vegas since 1964. Got married there. .. like money , that didn’t last very long!.. I tried Las Vegas again, 1969 ..got married there-again. Funny thing. —The same man preformed the marriage ceremony both times.— Different chapel!! That was a big loss gamble both times !!…I lost both times!!!
but in those days I loved going to Las Vegas to see the lights , the people ,the lounge singers and the Big Stars preforming there. .. Gambling, carrying the bucket and getting your hands dirty from money clanking out of the machines.. Bells ringing and lights flashing !!! It was like the machines would call you – play me and lots of times I would win. !!——-
Rooms were much less…you just paid regular tax for room like any other hotel or motel in any other town …..
Drinks were free, when gambling…you gave tips, food was much less -you gave tips! —but we made much less money working in those days!
Those days of Las Vegas are long gone!!! I go to Las Vegas now to visit family and friends…… I really never gamble anymore, I just don’t even want to put money in a machine …,I hate getting a piece of paper out of the machine. I miss getting a $2 tool of nickels and putting 2 nickels in and hitting a jackpot and winning $500. Putting a $1 in a machine and winning $300. Those were the days !!
____THE MORAL OF THIS POST IS… .…. I NEVER WENT TO LAS VEGAS , WITH ANY MORE MONEY THAN I COULD AFFORD TO “LOSE “___ (((throw away, didn’t need. — give away. Etc…))).
Also the last time I got married , 37 years ago ,it was NOT in Las Vegas.!!
. Good Luck Everyone!!!!
Look at it for what it is. You are hung up on the term “Resort Fees”. Where can you get a room for $39? The resort fees are just a different way of charging you the same money. $39 room + $40 resort fee is still cheaper than the $139 Holiday Inn down the street from me in my hometown in Michigan. If it was $80 with no resort fees you would be happy with it.
It’s extremely simple to avoid resort fees but people are too spoiled, want to stay on the strip and then complain about resort fees. There are dozens of hotels within a block of the strip or a few minutes away. Hilton and Marriott properties mostly. No resort fees for all Hilton and Marriott properties that are not on the strip.
a total rip—-resort fees all bull shit—this is true—i bet on the races a total of 80.000. $ in 3 days—I paid full price —-before I left my g/f asked maybe we could get a breakfast–thus i went to the floor manager—they said they do not give comps only on table games—the 80 thousand was my turnover on bets—but sports batting they give zero comps–the stardust did years ago —frank
I am from UK and used to visit Vegas every other year and always stayed in budget hotels like Gold Coast or Orleans as they were cheap and cheerful but will never visit again as even those budget hotels have jumped on the resort fees band wagon… they’re not yet charging for parking like the bigger hotels but no doubt will start… I really don’t understand why Vegas is supposedly booming again in terms of visitors when it now offers poor value for money and angry customers at check out/in being presented with resort fees… Big business tries to make an increase on profits every year but there must come a point where people say enough is enough… I really do wish people would start to boycott Vegas as a holiday destination and go somewhere else just to let those corporations see that people can’t be taken for a ride forever… They just assume people will visit what ever they do in terms of price rises and up to now they are being proven right. I guess the money paying public like us lot are mugs and they know it – a fool is easy parted from his cash and the owners of these hotels know it… I genuinely wish the paying public would stand up and take their business elsewhere – we should all be looking for value for money from energy suppliers to broadband suppliers and our holidays should be no different. Value for money should be a key consideration of any holiday and those suited fat cats in Vegas won’t give you that so look elsewhere.
