Priceline Hotel: Express Deal Question - correlation between resort fee and hotel?

I apologize if this has been covered before, but is there a correlation between the estimated resort fees and the hotel when using express deals?  For example Northeast Vegas, Oct 26-28, 5 star, some 5 star say $39 for resort fee (which is the same as Wynn and Encore) while others are 5 star but $45 resort fee (which is the same as Venetian and Palazzo).  Does that actually correlate?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

 

The resort fee shown by PRICELINE EXPRESS (and HOTWIRE) is not always up-to-date and sometimes it is shown before taxes and sometimes after taxes, therefore it is not a good primary indicator in researching/determining hotels.  It can be useful when you have narrowed the list down to 2 hotels and one of the two hotels has a resort fee while the other does not, or if one hotel has a resort fee of $10 and the other a resort fee of $35... but the difference between $39 and $45 is just too close that the difference could be due to taxes included/excluded or simply that the resort fee has not yet been updated since the last price increase.

 

We have plenty of tools and proprietary methods in researching hotels, is there a specific offer that you're interested in and/or a specific hotel that you're trying to target?  What is your maximum budget for this trip? (per nite before fees/taxes)

Are you still seeing the $219/nite hotel and if so are you able to click-thru on it to get to the booking page?

 

I did see it earlier when i made my initial reply to this thread, but when i clicked on the offer i got the "no longer available" message.
