Is the resort fee taxed, and what is the hotel room tax in Las Vegas?
1 answer
Taxed, at the same rate as the room: 13.38% on the Strip and 13% inside the Las Vegas city limits, where Downtown sits. The fee you see quoted is almost always the pre-tax figure.
The Strip pays the higher rate because it is not in the city at all; the resort corridor is unincorporated Clark County.
What that does to the numbers
- $55 Strip fee: $62.36 a night
- $50 fee: $56.69
- $45 fee: $51.02
- $46 Downtown fee (Golden Nugget): about $52
- A $160 room at a $50-fee hotel: near $238 a night all in
On the folio it shows as separate lines: room, room tax, resort fee, tax on the resort fee, then parking or incidentals. We re-verified both rates in September 2026.
Fees by hotel, with a tax-included column, are in resort fees by hotel; the other add-ons are in hidden fees in Las Vegas.
