“Resort fees" are mandatory fees added to nightly room rates at hotels and resorts. These fees apply to a variety of amenities, such as Wi-Fi, shuttle service, daily newspaper delivery, an in-room telephone, printing of boarding passes, nightly turndown, gym and pool access, etc. However, certain charges associated with Las Vegas "resort fees" may be illegal.

I've stayed at every MGM hotel on the strip in past two years, these fees are a complete rip off. Wifi sucks in every hotel. But hey they give you an in room phone and alarm clock 😂

[MickeyMan]

They understandably had to start charging resort fees after iwin and Mug ate once at the buffet

[Ph q all]

Who T F needs wifi anymore? Major carriers switched to unlimited data long ago....unless your a broke dik and use Cricket.

even if the Class Action wins in favor of the plaintiffs, each person would get about $17.84 settlement (educated guess)

[TheMoneyShot]

I wish this class action lawsuit would stop the hotels from charging this fee.

They could give all this away for free. Such BS.

These things are always for the benefit of lawyers more so than plantiffs.

Ehhhh more like $22-25 dollars a piece on 33% contingency fee on an average resort fee of $35 per stay. I'd prob collect $500 easy if they go per stay dating back to 2013.

Right. But in a class action lawsuit... I think they use percentages back.... which is ridiculous. You can't recover the full amount.

hotcross might be right with the $17.84 amount. It's always small.


Did anyone google PS3 "Fat" Class action lawsuit? Easy $65.00 back in your pocket.

[Underdog5229]

hopefully if it wins, they will rethink the resort fee bullshat. A money grab is all it is.

[El Nino]

My favorite is when the pool is closed and when they explain to you that the wifi is free for everyone who steps foot in the casino, no password required. So, you are basically paying for the gym. Because everyone likes to workout on vacation in Vegas.

[Underdog5229]

I wonder on average what the resort fee has added to their bottom line over the course of a year. Must be in the millions I would think.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Millions of dollars, just like airlines charging for bags. Total money grab and I'm glad someone is suing them. Hopefully they stop this outrageous practice. They also need to look into the ridiculous parking fees. Even Disney world is charging $50 a night just to park your car at a resort that you're paying to sleep in too. WTF? It's worst if you travel overseas, especially in the Caribbean.

[capitalist pig]

Its not just Vegas anymore, pretty much any hotel/condo worth staying at in FL also charges a resort fee.

They charge separate for the gym/ sauna

Do they really have a case? After all, the hotels told them up front about the fee and they voluntarily paid it. Where's the damage?

The cause of action is likely going to be some sort of consumer rights claim.The damage is they're not disclosing the true cost of the room up front making it difficult for a consumer to make an informed choice. If it's not to distort the true cost of the room, why have it at all and not just simply raise the room rate? Would it not be faulty adverting to charge $1 rooms in big bold letters, but in the fine print (or at check out) charge a mandatory $99 resort fee?

I'm guessing they're going to try to make this similar to Ticketmaster in that they are obscuring the true cost of the ticket by breaking it down into mandatory fees you don't see until the end and can't opt out of paying if you wanted the ticket. If you have to pay it no matter what, be up front and tack it to the cost of the room.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Resort fees strictly a cash grab. Hotels will offer to comp them for a service breakdown. Unfortunately they aren't going anywhere and the lawsuit has as much chance of winning as brock does the westgate supercontest.

[xKMACKx]

They have to share 25%-30% with booking sites (booking.com, expedia etc..) on reservations as an affiliate commission. They don't need to share a piece of the pie with the resort fees, though, this is their way to make it back. They create the excuse it's for wifi and that other crap like free local phone calls.

Depends on how a judge views this. For example... let's say a room for a night is 69.99 and the resort fee is $35.00 (practically 50% higher in price.) A judge may favor the consumer.... depending on how visible these fees are when booking a room? It remains to be seen.
