Las Vegas Casino & Hotel Resort Fee List 2025: All-In Pricing (FTC Compliant)
⚠️ All resort fees last verified: November 11, 2025.
Note: Resort fees in Las Vegas are subject to the same hotel room tax rate as nightly accommodations. Typical combined rates are 13.38% for most Strip and unincorporated Clark County hotels, and 13% for hotels located within the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, or North Las Vegas. “Resort Fee + Tax” values shown are estimated using these local tax rates.
How To Get Waived Resort Fees
For those making frequent trips to Las Vegas, the most reliable way to waive resort fees is to use a high-status loyalty level, which can sometimes be achieved by matching the status level from a different hotel program.

💡 Additional Fee Avoidance Advice
Although Status and Points entitle you to automatic waivers, these can be beneficial if you are outside the busy season or by selecting your sites carefully.
- Promotions: Occasionally, hotels offer promotions that waive the resort fee for a limited time (e.g., during slower summer seasons or at new properties). Always check the hotel’s official “Offers” page and sign up for their newsletter.
- Non-Casinos: Many non-casino hotels (particularly off the strip, or business-focused hotels) charge much lower resort fees or no fees at all. Hotels in this category include brands such as Hyatt.
- Place, Residence Inn, and Homewood Suites. Many of these hotels even provide complimentary breakfast and parking, which makes for a much better value than a resort fee at casino hotels.
Front Desk Negotiation: This is rare, but you can ask the front desk staff to waive the fee if it is due to the non-availability of a specific amenity (e.g., no access to the pool, very slow Wi-Fi). You may have luck, but it is more common on slower days or if you have a service problem.

Las Vegas Resort Fees: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the FTC’s “No Junk Fees” rule for hotels?
A: Passed in 2025, the FTC’s “No Junk Fees” rule requires hotels and short-term rentals to display the total price upfront—including all mandatory fees like resort charges—before purchase. This ban prohibits “drip pricing” and ensures full price transparency, although taxes and optional extras can still be listed separately.
Q: What do resort fees typically include in Las Vegas?
A: Resort fees standardize the coverage of amenities you would typically pay for à la carte. Standard inclusions are in-room Wi-Fi, access to the fitness center, unlimited local/toll-free phone calls, and seasonal pool access. Your interactive list above details the specific amenities for each hotel.
Q: Are resort fees charged per person or per room?
A: The resort fee is a mandatory charge applied per room, per night, regardless of the number of registered guests (up to the room’s maximum occupancy).
Q: When and how do I pay the resort fee?
A: The fee is always collected by the hotel directly and is typically paid upon check-in or check-out, even if you paid for the room itself through a third-party site (OTA).
Q: Can I decline the resort fee if I don’t use the amenities (like the pool or Wi-Fi)?
A: In almost all cases, no. Las Vegas resort fees are considered a mandatory part of the property charge, making them generally unavoidable unless you have elite casino status (MGM Gold/Caesars Diamond) or are staying at a No-Fee Hotel.
Q: What should I do if a paid amenity (e.g., the pool or Wi-Fi) is broken or unavailable during my stay?
A: If a major amenity that the fee covers is non-functional or closed during your stay, you have a strong argument. Politely request a partial credit or waiver of the resort fee from the front desk or a hotel manager at checkout, as the hotel did not deliver the full promised value of the fee.
Q: Are resort fees subject to tax?
A: Yes. Resort fees are generally subject to the same local occupancy tax as the room rate. This is why our “All-In Pricing” column is crucial, as the fee you pay is always higher than the advertised pre-tax amount.
Q: Do credit cards help me avoid or waive resort fees?
A: Yes, indirectly. While no standard credit card directly waives the fee, several co-branded hotel cards (like the World of Hyatt or Hilton Honors Amex cards) grant you complimentary elite status. That status (or the points earned from the card) can then be leveraged for waived fees using the strategies listed in the Status Match Guide above.
Q: Are resort fees worth the cost?
A: This is subjective. To determine the value, compare the fee’s final price against the retail cost of the included amenities (e.g., premium Wi-Fi and gym access). If you plan to use those services daily, the consolidated fee may save you money. If not, prioritize the Guaranteed Zero-Fee Hotels listed above.
Q: Why does this guide focus primarily on casino hotels?
A: Our guide focuses on casino hotels and major Strip/Downtown properties because these resorts charge the highest mandatory fees. While our list is comprehensive, fees at non-casino hotel chains (like Hampton Inn or Residence Inn) are often zero or minimal.
