Hotwire Hotel: Does the 24.99 resort fee apply

[beckyok]

Hi, if I bid on the Hotwire 4.5 west of the strip, I believe I'll get the Red Rock Casino. My question is, will I be charged the 24.99 per day resort fee when I get there? Thanks for any help. I'm going for the Wynn at $95 if the resort fee is added to the $79 rate.

If you know there is a resort fee for a specific property, I would think you could probably count on the chance of it being added to your bill. While I'm not familiar with Vegas, the Wynn would sound like the better option to me.

If you do decide to book via HOTWIRE, please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase.

I stayed at the 4.5* Red Rock last March through a hotwire bid. The resort fee was added to the bill at checkout, I tried to have it waived without success. For what it's worth I split my stay between Bellagio (lake view) and Red Rock and found the rooms at Red Rock to be more impressive. The Red Rock is a great stay at the right price although I don't care for the resort fee deception.

The rate at Wynn with no resort fee seems like a better choice.

I stayed at Red Rock last May through Hotwire and yes, they add the $21.79 (at the time) resort fee to the final bill.

BA21: thanks for the comparison between the Bellagio rooms and the Red Rock's. You just confirmed my suspicion, Red Rock's rooms are hard to beat. I might as well try the Encore next time.
