Out of interest, did you read what the proposed MGM resort fee is likely to be? And is this definately going ahead or just a rumour? I've tried Googling but it's not coming up with anything except an LVA article from yesterday that I can't read as I'm not a member.

It's especially annoying if they do decide to apply it retrospectively, as one of the reasons we've booked the MGM (and I'm sure we're not the only ones) is that their lack of resort fee makes their prices so great - adding another $15 or $20 a night would be a different story.

No sorry I havent read the article either (cant remember my login details).

I couldn't find anything either. Was it LVA or LVRJ?

you may have to be a member to see the QOD.

Erm.

Just saw the part about not reproducing any part of the answer without the publisher's consent.

Can you get to this link without being a member?

Thanks for the link ferf, it definitely sounds like they are all adding the fee.

I'm just having a brainstorm here.

I pay for daily internet access while in Vegas and I think ferf does too and possible pebblesmax. I have recently started using mobile broadband in the UK and intend using it between flights in the UK and while waiting to board.

I am now wondering if this is a viable option to use in Vegas and would be grateful for any input.

I have tried to look online and all I have found so far is that you can buy a Verizon dongle for $130 which is a lot more expensive that the UK or a Virgin one for $100.

Does anyone think this is feasible? Any suggestions of places to buy one near the strip as we won't have a car?

Just thinking out loud at the moment.

I just realised that there's nothing to stop me from posting the bit that was taken from the Mirage Facebook page...only the answer to the question given by LVA. It's the last bit that's probably the part most people are worried about as it seems the Mirage has had a resort fee for awhile.

"Hi, everyone! The daily resort fee is meant to enhance your experience during your stay by including additional services and amenities. Our resort fee includes complimentary in-room internet [sic] access, unlimited access to the Cardio Center, daily newspapers that can be picked up at Impulse and the Bell Desk, two bottles of water delivered daily to your room, robes for comfort, unlimited local and toll-free calls, complimentary notary service, faxes, copies and complimentary printing of boarding passes at the Business Services Center.

"Just an FYI ~ the rest of our sister properties will be implementing the Resort Fee soon as well."
