krunchss Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 ** BUMP ** :) Try this...Hotel Name: 4* Las Vegas Zone: Central StripPrice: $69/nightDate: Apr 6, 2009 - Fri, Apr 10, 2009Amenities: Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet Access, Spa Services What's the scoop on the "Resort Fees" I occasionally hear about on some review sites? Should I expect an additional charge once I reach the hotel? Or is the HOTWIRE rate DEFINITELY the full price I pay?Thanx!Krunch
thereuare Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!The above is a match for Planet Hollywood so that would be our best guess.Resort fees, if any, would be in addition to your HOTWIRE purchase and paid directly to the hotel upon check-out.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

krunchss Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 Are "Resort Fees" typical at most or all hotels in Vegas?Also, will HOTWIRE warn you of these fees or are you destined to be a victim in paying them once you arrive? If you are gambling on the "Resort Fees" until you arrive at your desitnation, it starts to pull value away from using HOTWIRE in teh first place no?Krunch
thereuare Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 HOTWIRE has started to mention resort fees for some properties (where applicable), but i don't think it is widespread throughout their system yet, so simply because a Resort fee isn't shown, i wouldn't automatically assume that there won't be a fee... although most hotels in Vegas do not charge such a fee (although i just stayed at a 3* property in Vegas that charged a $3 resort fee... even though it was far from a resort)It doesn't really pull the value away from using HOTWIRE (or PRICELINE) since the resort fee applies to all customers... not just those who booked thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE. The savings obtained thru the opaque suppliers is usually large so that even when adding in a resort fee, it's still cheaper than booking anything direct within the same star class category.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
