Resort Fees/Taxes on Las Vegas Hotel Rooms / Which Casino

I am planning a week out in Vegas to play blackjack (with an edge), going to be staying in comped rooms in the total rewards properties. However, even comped, the per day daily room taxes are still $30 on average, (varying on which hotel). In my opinion, they have a nerve calling the rooms comped, when they are charging $30 in room taxes per night.

Anyway, I am curious to know if anybody can suggest casino hotels in the Las Vegas area of at least 3 stars and up, (preferably 4 stars and up), that have eigher no, or very low resort fees/taxes? Those would be the casino hotels I will be offering my rated play too, in hopes of eventually being offered comped rooms. Since I plan to be going to Vegas at least once a month going forward.

I am trying to minimize my traveling expenses on each trip.

Thanks.

p.s. just realized I should have posted this thread into the gambling/las vegas casino's catergory, instead of : gambling blackjack catergory. Don't know if I can move it over or not.

Lowest I've seen was like $22 at Tropicana but the fees are generally unavoidable. It's possible to get them waived through a host if your action is substantial enough, although if you're working about $30/day I'm guessing you're playing red/green chips so it probably won't happen.

Sun-Thu Four Queens, California (both with no resort fee) or the D (super cheap + $20 resort fee) (all downtown) would set you back $35-40.
Circus Circus would be in the $45 range (with resort fee).
2 nights at Silver Sevens will cost you $65 with an American Casino Guide coupon.
For anything else you'll have to stay in shithole sub par location or spend $50+ a day.

I would recommend the Boyd Properties: dirt cheap room rates and very easy to get it comped off. $12.99 for Gold Coast, Orleans, and Sam's Town, and $0.00 for the downtown properties, Main Street Station, California, and Fremont.

If making diamond is within your grasps, you can get the resort fee waived at TR properties.

Interesting I didn't realize that. I'm currently Platinum. But shouldnt be too hard to get to Diamond, If I play rated at the total rewards properties.

The 50% bonus (all TC's earned between 1/1-3/31 were subject to a separate bonus) is gone, but it's still easy to hit diamond if you go often enough. I do not know your bankroll or average bet, but as someone betting high green, low black ($200 max bet, most around $100) it's pretty difficult to hit 2500 (for the max relative bonus) in a single day, so you should try to hit the 1k every day that you gamble and within a few trips you will be diamond and no longer have to pay the resort fee.

Don't know all the details about the bonus' that just happened, but a few weeks ago my brand new platinum card went to diamond in a 3 day weekend. Haven't been back to check out the benefits yet. Soon I hope!

Thank you, for that information.

I feel you here... I just booked three days to vegas (2 of which comped) for my bachelor party next week... and had to pay $28 in resort fees per night... almost defeats the purpose of booking these rooms for free.. well here's to winning it back at VP or BJ ;)

As far as I know, not many (link removed by Mod) hotels in Las Vegas fit your criteria. You could try the Harrah's or maybe The Venecian though, I've heard their resort fees are quite low. Maybe there are some off-strip hotels with better conditions but you're gonna have to look them up pretty carefully

OK, maybe.

Was there a link that was removed by Mod?
Or was that typed by the Poster?
Inquiring minds and all that.

Maybe Mod action 'in someone else's post' should be in green text?
I don't remember this situation arising before, though I feel sure it's old hat to the old timers.
Didn't seem like a Bot post, but what do I know?

I didn't remove it, but it's quite common to do so on new members' posts. When it's a bot/spammer, the member usually gets removed as well, but it appears the member in this case was trying to address the thread, so we'll see what develops.
