MGM Resorts International announced that they are increasing resort fees at three of their properties on the Las Vegas Strip by $6 – bringing the total to $45 per night (plus tax). The resorts increasing the fee are Aria Resort & Casino, Bellagio Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa.
Other resorts on the Las Vegas Strip that charge $45 for resort fees include, Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, Palazzo and The Venetian. The difference is these hotels provide free valet and self parking for hotel guests. MGM owned properties do not, unless you have status with the MLife Players Club.
Resort fees are now in almost every Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas. This is a separate mandatory fee that a guest is charged by an accommodation provided in addition to a base room rate and taxes. The resort fee generally covers access to the internet, gym/fitness center, local telephone calls, coffee maker and fridge in your room, daily newspaper, use of the safe in room, and some include parking, mainly in Downtown Las Vegas. Resort fees vary by hotel but are generally $20-$45 per night, before taxes.
There are still a few holdouts not charging a resort fee in Las Vegas, but very few. Some of the options are Casino Royale (on the Las Vegas Strip), Four Queens (Downtown) and many of the branded hotels and motels without a casino, such as Hilton, Marriott and many timeshare properties.
