Beg pardon — it is a form of tax fraud, as the “resort fee” itself isn’t subject to the two or three local hotel taxes, but that is a nice side benefit, not the reason they do it in the first place.
You’d think the local government would be on this like white on rice, but Las Vegas and Nevada government have been examples of unprincipled government for decades.
I see! One misses so much by rarely leaving home. However, I will check for resort fees in future if I stay somewhere.
It doesn't look like the Country Inn we stayed in a couple of weeks ago, on the way to the coast with the Cub Scouts, had a resort fee.
