Las Vegas Resort Fees — 2026

What You'll Actually Pay

We checked 42 Strip and Downtown hotels one by one, October 7–November 2, 2026. Every fee from that hotel's official page or booking checkout — no estimates.

This site tracks the surcharges Las Vegas hotels add before you book: the resort fee on the room, and the parking fee on the car. Both are on the same bill. Both are itemized here, hotel by hotel.

The Two Ends of the Range

The gap between the cheapest and most expensive resort fee in Las Vegas is the whole story in one glance. Eleven Strip hotels sit at the top tier, $55 a night before tax. Three hotels charge nothing at all. Everything else falls in between. Here are the five at each end, tax included, each with the date we verified it.

Most expensive: $62.36/night with tax

Eleven hotels charge this top tier. The five above are the names most travelers search for. The fee alone costs more than a full night's room at a budget property downtown.

Checking tonight's room price at one of the five above? See Bellagio, Caesars Palace or The Venetian.

Cheapest: $0 to $37.28/night with tax

Three hotels charge no resort fee at all as a standing policy. El Cortez, at $33.89 with tax, is the cheapest hotel that does charge one. The spread from $0 to $62.36 is why the fee deserves its own line in your budget, not an afterthought at checkout.

A note on what "cheapest" means here. Casino Royale sits on the center Strip and charges $0. A $55-a-night fee at Bellagio buys you the same pool towels and Wi-Fi the fee supposedly covers. The fee doesn't track with what you get. It tracks with what the hotel thinks it can add without losing the booking.

How the Fee Shows Up When You Book

The room rate you click is never the number you pay. Here's the actual sequence on a Strip booking page. You search dates, you see $99 a night. You pick the room, you see $99 a night. You enter your name and card details, and on the screen right before payment — the last screen — a line appears: "Resort Fee $55.00" plus "Resort Fee Tax." The total jumps to $174.61 a night. That $55 line is the resort fee. It was there the whole time, just not in the number you clicked.

Downtown works the same way, smaller numbers. A $29 room at El Cortez shows $29.99 resort fee on the pre-payment screen, $33.89 with the 13% downtown tax. The fee is 103% of the room rate in that example — more than the room itself.

The three $0 hotels work differently. Four Queens shows "Resort Fee $0.00" on the same pre-payment screen. Casino Royale's booking summary states "NO RESORT FEE! THIS HOTEL DOES NOT CHARGE A RESORT FEE!" Binion's shows $0.00 the same way. The line is there, the number is zero. That's the difference between a policy and a promotion: the $0 is on every booking, not tied to dates or membership.

What the Fee Supposedly Covers

Every hotel's terms page lists roughly the same bundle: pool access, fitness center, in-room Wi-Fi, local calls, sometimes a newspaper or bottled water. The bundle is nearly identical at a $55-a-night property and a $45-a-night property. What changes is the price tag, not the contents.

Whether you use the pool or not, the fee applies. Whether you connect to Wi-Fi or not, the fee applies. It's not optional and it's not itemized by use. The only way to avoid it at a hotel that charges one is a status waiver — MGM Rewards Gold and above, Caesars Diamond and above — or a dated promotion booked under its exact terms.

This is why the "$0 hotels" matter more than the "cheap fee" hotels. A $33.89 fee at El Cortez is still a fee you pay on top of the room. At Four Queens, Casino Royale, or Binion's, the number on the pre-payment screen is the number you pay. No second line to hunt for.

Why this site exists

Hotel search results show you the room rate. The resort fee shows up later, on the screen right before you pay. On the Strip that hidden line runs $51 to $62 a night with tax — on a two-night stay, it can exceed the room rate you clicked on.

Most "no resort fee" lists online mix two different things: hotels that never charge the fee, and hotels running a temporary "no fee" promotion. The promotions expire. Resorts World's runs through December 28, 2026. SAHARA's ended August 31, 2026 and its name still circulates on outdated lists. We separate the two, with dates.

Fee numbers also drift. The Venetian charged $45 a night in early December 2023. Today it's $55, a $10 increase over 34 months. Lists that copied a number two years ago and never rechecked still show $45. Every figure here carries the date we read it on the hotel's own site, so you can judge for yourself how fresh it is.

One Hotel, One Page

Each of the 42 hotels is getting its own page on this site, one at a time. A hotel page answers one question: what does this specific property charge, on what date did we verify it, and what does the hotel's own terms page say in its own words?

The individual pages exist because the interesting detail is per-hotel. Treasure Island's own "No Resort Fee" TV special lists the $49.95 fee as "optional" in the fine print — a detail you only get by reading that hotel's offer page against its terms page. That story doesn't fit in a table. The table gives you the number. The hotel page gives you the catch.

Hotel pages already live: MGM Grand, Flamingo, Excalibur, Luxor, Planet Hollywood, Circus Circus, Treasure Island, and The Orleans. More are added as each hotel's fee is verified against its own official pages.

Tax, Not Just the Fee

Every tax-included figure on this site is arithmetic, not an estimate: the hotel's stated fee plus the jurisdiction's lodging tax. The Strip's 13.38% is a Clark County rate. Downtown's 13% is the city rate. The hotel doesn't set the tax. The county does. When a hotel's own page prints the tax-included total — Caesars Palace prints $62.30, Circus Circus's booking engine prints $51.02 — we show that number and cite the page. When the hotel only prints the pre-tax fee, we multiply and show our math. Either way, the number you see is the number you'd see on the pre-payment screen, not a guess from a third-party list.

Every number on this site was read on the hotel's own booking page down to the pre-payment screen, or on the hotel's official FAQ where the booking page didn't state the amount, between October 7 and November 2, 2026. Strip tax is 13.38%, Downtown is 13% — jurisdiction rates, not estimates.

That's the whole method. One question per page, one verification date per number, no third-party lists. If a figure changes, the date changes with it, and the old one stays visible in the hotel's page history so you can see the direction it's moving.

Data: every figure read on the hotel's own official page or booking checkout, October 7–November 2, 2026. Strip lodging tax 13.38%, Downtown 13%. Off-Strip and off-Downtown hotels are not in our table.
