Las Vegas resort fees are one of the most searched — and most complained about — topics in travel. As of April 2026, every major Strip hotel charges a mandatory nightly resort fee that is not included in the advertised room rate. These fees range from $51.02 to $62.36 per night (tax included) and cannot be waived simply by declining the amenities.
I've compiled the complete list below, cross-referenced against multiple sources. Use the filters and sort controls to find the best value for your trip. If you're a loyalty member, check the "Loyalty Waiver" column — a handful of programs do waive fees at their highest tiers.
All fees shown include Nevada's 13.38% tax. Fees are per room per night and apply regardless of the number of guests.

What Do Las Vegas Resort Fees Actually Cover?
Nearly every Strip hotel bundles the same core amenities into their resort fee: high-speed Wi-Fi, fitness center access, pool access, and local phone calls. The difference between a $51 and a $62 fee is rarely about the amenity list — it's about the hotel's positioning and revenue strategy.
Luxury properties like Wynn, Bellagio, and The Venetian justify their $62.36 fee partly through the quality of the amenities (think multi-pool complexes, premium fitness equipment, and faster Wi-Fi) and partly because the fee is a smaller percentage of their higher room rates. At a $500/night room, a $62 fee is 12.4% of the total. At a $100/night room at Circus Circus, a $51 fee is 51% of the room rate — a far more significant hidden cost.
The most important thing to understand: resort fees are non-negotiable for most guests. You cannot opt out by declining the amenities, and the fee is the same whether you book directly or through a third-party site. The only reliable exception is top-tier loyalty status with specific programs.
Which Loyalty Programs Waive Resort Fees?
As of 2026, the following programs have historically offered resort fee waivers for their highest-tier members. Always confirm the current benefit before booking, as policies change frequently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid paying a Las Vegas resort fee?
In most cases, no. Resort fees are mandatory and apply regardless of whether you use the included amenities. However, top-tier loyalty members (e.g., Caesars Diamond+, MGM Noir, Wynn Black) can sometimes have fees waived. Booking directly with the hotel does not remove the fee.
Are resort fees included in the price shown on booking sites?
No. Resort fees are collected directly by the hotel at check-out and are not included in the nightly rate displayed on Expedia, Hotels.com, or Google Hotels. Always add the resort fee to the advertised rate to calculate your true cost per night.
Which Las Vegas Strip hotels charge the highest resort fees in 2026?
As of April 2026, the highest resort fees on the Strip are $62.36/night, charged by ARIA, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, Encore, Fontainebleau, The Venetian, The Palazzo, Resorts World, Vdara, and Wynn Las Vegas. All fees include the 13.38% Nevada tax.
Do resort fees cover parking at Las Vegas hotels?
Generally, no. Most Strip hotels charge separate self-parking ($15–$25/night) and valet fees ($20–$35/night) on top of the resort fee. A few properties include self-parking in the resort fee — always confirm at check-in.
Are Las Vegas resort fees legal?
Yes, they are currently legal. The FTC's Junk Fee Prevention Act, which would require mandatory all-in pricing, has been proposed but not yet enacted as of 2026. The FTC has taken action against deceptive fee disclosure, but resort fees themselves remain permitted.
Do loyalty program members get resort fees waived?
It depends on the program and tier. Caesars Rewards Diamond+ members, MGM Rewards Noir members, and Wynn Black card holders have historically received resort fee waivers. Always confirm the benefit at the time of booking, as policies can change.
What is typically included in a Las Vegas resort fee?
Most resort fees cover high-speed Wi-Fi, fitness center access, pool access, local and toll-free phone calls, and in-room coffee or bottled water. Some luxury properties add newspaper delivery, printing credits, or spa access discounts.
Is the resort fee the same if I book directly vs. through a third party?
Yes. The resort fee amount is identical whether you book directly through the hotel website or through a third-party OTA like Expedia or Booking.com. The fee is always collected by the hotel at check-out.
