Las Vegas Resort Fees by Hotel
Most Strip resorts charge $45 to $55 a night per room before tax, about $51 to $62 with it. Every major hotel’s resort fee, and the few ways to avoid paying one.
The short answerNearly every Las Vegas Strip resort charges a resort fee of $45 to $55 a night per room before tax, which becomes about $51 to $62 once the 13.38% room tax is added. The fee is charged per room, not per person, and federal rules in force since May 2025 require it to be included in the total price shown when you book. Casino Royale is the rare Strip hotel with no resort fee.

What a resort fee is
A resort fee is a mandatory nightly charge added to the room rate. It is charged per room, per night, however many people share the room and whether or not anyone uses the pool, gym or wifi it nominally covers. It is taxed like the room itself: 13.38% on the Strip and about 13% downtown.

Sources that track resort fees occasionally differ by a few cents for the same hotel. Where they do, this guide uses the most recently updated figure.
What the fee adds to a stay
At $55 a night, a three-night stay adds $187.08 with tax. A group with four rooms for three nights pays $748.32 in resort fees alone, before a single room night. What a Vegas group weekend costs per person works it into a full budget.
The total price rule
Since 12 May 2025, the Federal Trade Commission’s rule on unfair or deceptive fees has required hotels and booking sites to show the total price, including mandatory fees such as resort fees, clearly when you book. The rule is about disclosure. It does not ban resort fees or cap them, so the fee is still there; it is just no longer a surprise at checkout.
Ways to avoid or reduce the fee
- Loyalty status. MGM Rewards Gold and above waives resort fees at MGM hotels, Caesars Rewards Diamond and above at Caesars hotels, and World of Hyatt Globalist members have them waived on award stays at the Venetian.
- Stay at a hotel without one. Casino Royale on the Strip, and Four Queens and Binion’s Hotel Apache downtown.
- Comped rooms for regular players often come with the fee waived.
- Ask at checkout if something the fee covers, such as the pool, was closed during your stay.
Parking is separate
At many hotels parking is charged on top of the resort fee rather than included in it. If you are driving, check the hotel’s parking charge as well.
