Freemont hotels don't charge resort fees? Back when I went to Vegas a lot, no resort fees was a selling point of Ceasars properties, but not anymore. They're gonna get that extra $35 from me no matter what, why not let me gamble it?

Next time I go to Vegas I'm seriously considering staying at Gold Coast, they treated me wonderfully there my last Vegas trip.

Even Harrahs NKC has a $20/day resort fee.

I haven’t paid a resort fee in 20 years. And back then it was like $1.25 a night. In most cases invited guests (players) get it waived easily. I don’t spend any time in the room lol it’s a place to shit, sleep and shower.

Hotels charge resort fees because they don’t fall under the tax code. If they added that amount to the room charge they would tack the big tax to it, too.

We go to Vegas with friends often as it is not that far of a drive from California. We stumbled upon the best Dim Sum place by accident and now go there for lunch every time we are in Vegas. It is New Asian BBQ, it is off strip and surrounded by good sushi places, etc. It is authentic, so I will say that in advance.

Special occasion? As mentioned Mon Ami Gabi is nice, we made reservations online and put a note in that it was our anniversary, after we had finished our food they brought us a nice dessert for free and said happy anniversary. It was a special touch.
One of the best (and most expensive) meals of my life was at Emeril’s restaurant in the Venetian. That was years ago, don’t know if it’s still there.

It was Main Street Station. I had to look it up. If you look it up, you'll likely lose respect for me, but I was just passing through and it was actually a pretty decent hotel.







These things sound more expensive than the resort fee.



Don't try to make them sound honorable. I will challenge you to a duel.

I wouldn't care if they were transparent about it, but at the time I was using hotels.com (side note: never use hotels.com for anything because they're horrible) and there was no notification of "resort fees" until you checked out.

A group of us were there last week and we enjoyed the Erotic Heritage Museum and the Lost Spirits Distillery. And I love the margaritas and Margaritaville. Not exactly what you were looking for but thought I'd share nonetheless.

It’s actually basically free. You can status match Wyndham Rewards to Caesars Diamond, and you can attain status at Wyndham if you have status at any other hotel chain. Basically if you have any hotel credit card you can be Caesars Diamond.
