Las Vegas Hotels With NO Resort Fee

[@roddyrod583]

Resort fee should be substantially reduced during the Winter since it's too cold to use the pool.

[@mikea9014]

😂

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Agreed!

[@TRMV]

The fee isn’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Many times the resort fee plus room rate is still very reasonable usually under $100 a night mid week! The non resort fee resorts rates are usually about the same. So though they claim no fees they are charging the same rate as the properties that do.

Just arrived in Vegas, and already came across issues at the Luxor. We booked a king premier ahead of time, and got to the front desk and told no King rooms available. Took us standing firm for them to actually honor it. They had offered to cut our resort fees on two nights. So I guess that's an option. Book a king room, and when they give your room to someone else, they might waive your resort fees. We were told they can change rooms however they want, whenever they want and every hotel everywhere is like that. I've stayed in many hotels, and never had that happen or been told that.

[@TheVictorCruz]

This list should have started and ended with Four Queens. In my opinion, it's a true diamond in the rough. For an older property it doesn't need a whole lot of refreshing. Magnolias is a hidden gem on Fremont and Hugo's Celler is some mighty fine dinning as well. Oh, and another excellent vid Jacob

[@freecycle53215]

I agree.

[@PunkSlapper123]

Yeah, I don't really care for Binion's or the 4 Queens. Fremont St. at night is loud as hell. I heard Casino Royale wasn't going to be around much longer. I have stayed at Marriot Grand Chateau and it is pretty good. I like the location.

[@paulr75]

The four queens has the best location by far with no resort fee. However a good tip,sometimes there are exceptionally low prices on hotels,on sites such as hotwire and agoda,and even with a resort fee payable locally,they still work out just a little more than those hotels with no resort fee. Be careful tho with mgm resort properties like excalibur more often than not they have rooms well under 50 dollars,but if you are driving add on parking and the resort fee and thats quite a costly night for what quite often is a basic room. Do your research on a variety of sites and weigh everything in before making that decision,just dont limit yourself to no resort fee hotels,take everything into account before making the decision

[@theaveragedabberr652]

my parents stayed at the embassy suites when they came. idk if there still isn't a resort fee, but they didn't have one. the food was pretty good too at the hotel. easy monorail access for the strip ^_^

Having a coffee maker in the room at Casino Royale really saves time and money! I purchased my own 1-cup coffee maker which I put in my suitcase when coming to Vegas. Most of the big hotels do not include a coffee maker in your room. They want you to stand in line a Starbucks and pay $ 6!

[@ReuvenGoldstein1]

[@rickfukunaga4010]

The Signature behind the MGM Grand does not have resort fees. Included is valet parking and access to the MGM Grand pools (when they’re open). There are a couple of smaller pools accessible to Signature guests. Not sure why this property was omitted from the video but it’s worth checking out.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

MGM Signature's FAQ section on their site says there's a $39 resort fee

[@claytonberg721]

I've stayed there 4 times and have been dinged with resort fees everytime.

[@stevekckm7879]

😊😊😊great video. You certainly did your homework. The FTC needs to pass a law regarding hotels and resorts to incorporate the resort fees into the room pricing. Many times hotels with resort fees are cheaper when adding the room rate and resort fee. LEARN HOW TO ADD FOLKS!!

[@IPANoah]

I'm not opposed to hotels being forced to list their prices like a gas station is made to, on the hand big brother government really needs to help people learn how to add?

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

Man, the pricing on this list really drives home the reality that if you can avoid being in Vegas on a Friday or Saturday night you should absolutely do so! Four Queens remains the consistently best value in Las Vegas to me. Magnolias is very reasonably priced, you are at the center of the action on Freemont and the Strip is just a bus ride away if you want to get away from downtown for a day or so. Hotel prices have gone nuts, whoever thought that a Motel 6 could ever get away with charging over $100 a night?!?

You’ll take it slow and sleep in and relax at the pool. When I stayed at budget properties I spent far more in Vegas than when I stay at Encore.
