In an effort to appeal to the thrifty traveler this summer, Resorts World Las Vegas is pulling out all the stops to make a vacation in Sin City a bit more wallet-friendly. The Strip's newest luxury playground has decided to waive its resort fees, a move that is sure to draw attention from bargain hunters and high rollers alike. This decision means guests can enjoy their stay without the additional cost of the usually applied $50 per night fee for amenities. According to News 3 Las Vegas, Carlos Castro, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Resorts World, shared, "Waiving resort and parking fees this summer is our way of making it a little easier, and a lot more appealing, to stay with us."
The resort's decision comes not a moment too soon; with summer being a peak travel time, it's a prime opportunity to quickly fill up rooms with guests seeking to save. This move also follows the property's recent abolition of paid self-parking in its garages, further reducing the extra expenses visitors would normally have to budget for. "Because your summer getaway should feel like one from start to finish…No resort fees. Complimentary parking. All for you," Resorts World reportedly posted on its social media accounts, as noted by The Review-Journal.
Resort fees have long been a point of contention among Las Vegas travelers, commonly seen as hidden charges that inflate the advertised room rate. These fees typically cover a slew of services, including pool access, fitness center use, and Wi-Fi connectivity. On the Strip, resort fees can range from $44 to nearly $57 a night, making the absence of such fees at Resorts World a notable enticement.
Another lure for prospective guests is the free self-parking, a rarity along the densely developed Las Vegas Strip. With this strategic play, Resorts World joins a select group of establishments offering this amenity, including the likes of Treasure Island, Sahara, Circus Circus, and Casino Royale. The moves collectively promise to transform the north end of the Strip into a magnet for visitors eager to save, and enjoy without having to shuffle around for loose dollars for parking or grit their teeth at checkout over resort fees.
