Fewer people are visiting Las Vegas. One insider thinks hotel resort and parking fees are to blame

Daily resort fees and parking charges are rising and spreading in Las Vegas, adding as much as $45 a day to visitors' hotel bills. The publisher of Las Vegas Advisor blames the extra charges for a recent decline in the number of visitors.

"Everyone hates resort fees, but the parking [fee] is even worse," said Anthony Curtis of Las Vegas Advisor. "Everyone wants some kind of comp, [and] the most basic comp is free parking. That was the one comp that everyone got."

The Advisor, a decades-old, monthly newsletter highlighting what's new in Vegas and featuring deals for visitors, provides lists of parking costs and resort fees across southern Nevada.

Hey chick,
What really gauls me is to stay at a high priced swanky hotel and they charge you some extra fee for Wi-fi.
Or stay at a motel 6 and it is comped.
What the heck?

Lighten-up. Enjoy your self. No place is “perfect”. Don’t go. It is a unique experience and not for everyone .

If it isn’t the Whyte House Hotel, no Vegas for me.

Yeah it has nothing to do with the largest slaughter in our history... when Trump supporters attending a concert were mowed down... And Wynn was destroyed by the deep state for mentioning service elevators.

Nope, it’s ‘parking’... as if fewer people going to Vegas makes the parking worse.

The women aren’t “naked”. Most if not all have skin-tight body stockings.

I do find it odd that some people feel that LV is a family-friendly place.

The strip is not at all walkable

You are 100% correct on that. I was in Vegas in 1989, and walked up and down the strip with ease. I visited it many times between 1989 and 1992 (I was in the Navy in San Diego, we went to NAS Fallon every few months, and Vegas was halfway). I stayed at the Excalibur the month it opened (1990), for the low price of $35.00 a night (government rate). I went back in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s (company-wide meetings), and they had put up all those crosswalks over the strip, etc. It was nuts. I got married there in 2001, and have been back once since (2015). It’s fun, for a few days, but walking the strip is nuts.

l even in smaller towns in MARCH Best Western wanted to charge us about $150 a night in LaGrande Oregone....

this is why hotels are messing up....

La Quinta north of Seattle by 15 miles will charge $170 dollars or so...

when you think that you can get free rooms in Vegas, the fees don't seem so bad...

I agree. It is like any 1 million+ city. There thousands of restaurants of all types and costs.

the Vegas Strip you should do once in your lifetime...

like driving Big Sur...once is enough...

try off the Strip....you can still access good food and gambling plus its much easier coming and going...

we went to a Lenten fish fry on a Friday a couple of years ago in Vegas...the people were lovely and there are some very nice neighborhoods a mile or two off the strip...

Not to mention free drinks (including Crown Royal on the rocks) delivered while you were gambling, even at the slots.

Those days were lots of fun, and are now long gone.

No, most do not have body stockings. They literally have nothing except a skimpy thong with butt cheeks revealed, and small pasties over nipples or two strips of tape covering the nipples. The breasts are hanging for all to see. They are literally nearly naked, with only a few inches of skin covered. You have not been to Las Vegas lately, these walking advertisements are literally barely covered. And it's not just women. Some are men with skin-tight jock-straps letting it all hang there.

If you wear one here, you are likely to be the recipient of verbal abuse. And one dares not put a Trump sticker on their car. It’s sad, but the left will violently tell you how intolerant you are.
