Las Vegas Resort Fees by Hotel: The Full 2026 List

The real 2026 resort fee for every major Las Vegas hotel — Strip and Downtown — with tax included. Compare the true nightly cost before you book.

Las Vegas Resort Fees by Hotel: The Full 2026 List

That $69 room rate you found is not what you will pay. Almost every Las Vegas hotel adds a mandatory resort fee on top of the advertised price, collected at the property, and on the Strip it now runs $45–$55 per night before tax. Over a four-night trip that is an extra $200–$280 you did not budget for.

This page lists the actual 2026 resort fee for every major hotel on the Strip and Downtown, with the tax-included figure so you can compare the real nightly cost before you book. If you want the background — what these fees legally are, what they cover, and the full set of tactics to get them waived — read our companion guide, Resort Fees Explained (and How to Avoid Them). This page is the numbers.

How to read this list. Resort fees are charged per room, per night, not per person, and are subject to Nevada lodging tax — 13.38% on the Strip and unincorporated Clark County, 13% within the City of Las Vegas (most of Downtown). The “With Tax” column applies the relevant local rate so you see the true out-of-pocket amount.

Resort Fees in Downtown Las Vegas (2026)

Downtown sits inside the City of Las Vegas, so the lodging tax is 13% rather than 13.38%. Fees are generally lower than the Strip.

Hotel Resort Fee / Night With Tax (~13%)
Circa $50.00 ~$56.50
Golden Nugget $46.00 ~$51.98
Golden Gate $39.95 ~$45.14
Plaza $39.55 ~$44.69
The D $39.95 ~$45.14
Fremont $33.99 ~$38.41
Main Street Station $32.99 ~$37.28
El Cortez ~$26–$30 ~$29.38–$33.90
Four Queens $0.00 $0.00
Binion’s (Hotel Apache) $0.00 $0.00

Fees move. This page does not pretend they’re frozen. These are the rates we recorded as of June 2026, cross-checked against hotel booking screens and public reporting. Individual properties change fees with little notice, and a few mid-2025 promotional waivers have since been rolled back. Always confirm the total on the hotel’s own checkout screen — under the 2025 FTC “no junk fees” rule it must now show the all-in price up front — before you commit.

The Real Math: What a Trip Actually Costs

The resort fee is easy to underestimate because it compounds with every night. Here is what the add-on alone costs across a typical stay, using a mid-Strip $50 fee plus tax (~$56.69/night):

  • 2 nights: ~$113 on top of your room
  • 3 nights: ~$170
  • 4 nights: ~$227
  • 5 nights: ~$283

At a top-tier $55 property the five-night figure climbs past $310 — often more than an extra night’s room rate. This is why the advertised “from $69” number is close to meaningless for budgeting. The honest planning figure for a mid-range Strip stay, room plus fee plus tax, lands around $180–$250 per night.

How to Pay Less (or Nothing)

The fee is mandatory, but it is not always unavoidable. In rough order of reliability:

Stay at a genuinely fee-free hotel. The short list is short: on the Strip, Best Western Plus Casino Royale; Downtown, Four Queens and Binion’s (Hotel Apache). Near the Strip, non-casino chains like Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites and the Jockey Club typically charge little or nothing and often include parking and breakfast.

Use elite casino status. This is the single biggest lever for frequent visitors. MGM Rewards Gold or above waives resort fees at MGM properties; Caesars Rewards Diamond or above does the same across the Caesars portfolio. Status can sometimes be obtained by matching a tier you already hold with another hotel or airline program.

Book on points where the program waives fees. Policies vary by chain and change often, so confirm before booking — the waiver is not universal across every rate type.

Ask at checkout if an amenity failed. If the pool was closed or the Wi-Fi never worked, you have a legitimate basis to request that the fee — which exists to cover exactly those amenities — be credited. It is not guaranteed, but it works more often on slower days or when you had a genuine service problem.

Military and first responders: verifying through ID.me when booking unlocks discounts at many Caesars and MGM properties that can offset the fee entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Are resort fees charged per person or per room?

Per room, per night. Two guests or four, the nightly fee is identical.

Can I just decline to pay it?

No. It is a mandatory contractual charge, owed even if you never touch the pool, gym or Wi-Fi it nominally pays for. The only exits are a fee-free hotel, qualifying elite status, or a successful waiver request.

Did the FTC ban resort fees in 2025?

No. The 2025 FTC rule bans hidden “drip pricing” — hotels must now show the all-in total up front — but it does not abolish the fee itself. You still pay it; you just see it sooner.

Do I pay the fee on a comped room?

Usually yes, unless your loyalty tier specifically waives it. A “free” room typically still carries the daily resort fee at checkout.

Are the fees taxed?

Yes — at the same local lodging rate as the room (13.38% on the Strip, 13% in the City of Las Vegas). That is why every figure here includes a tax-inclusive column.
