Las Vegas thread and MSE guide 2010

I'm just trying to work out final cost for the 2nd part of my stay in Vegas and it's more difficult now a lot of the hotels have introduced these new resort fees. Namely Wynn in this instance.
Anyways does anyone have any experience of booking through the following sites and whether they have resort fees included in the total costs as they have no mention of them in their T&Cs unlike most of the big international hotel bookers who have a disclaimer attached.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I've booked before with cityandshow with no problems but never at a hotel which charges the "Resort Fee".

It's called March madness, lasts the last 2 weeks or so of March when the NCAA basketball finals are on. The one time I would NEVER visit Vegas.

Why not just drop them a line and ask?
All of the above have been used by us and no problems, as to weather they include the resort fee is hard to tell as it seems to change quite often. Example that if you get the Wynn on hotwire they do not charge the fee for all bookings this year

It varies by school but stoneman's right about March - it's generally a very busy time...there are 2 pages on this link.

As it happens I already have emailed all three. So far only Cityandshow have responded and all of their prices include resort fees and tax. which is nice.

That's what I thought until realised I hadn't seen Wynn on there for two weeks. Double checked today and they are now listing a resort fee to be charged. "The hotel collects this fee of about $20 per room per night directly from you, so it won't show in your Hotwire®
total." It doesn't have the STE suite amenities listed but does have the golf symbol so I'm pretty sure it is the Wynn.

Why not? I have been 3 times during March madness and never had problems getting a cheap hotel room and no other issues either, so just wondered

We have been twice during MM and the pools are full of knobs, and the vibes around the casinos is just insane, not for us but hey, some may like it.

Ahh this one again. Venetian and Pallazo also come up in Hotwire, and they DO charge a resort fee. Over on betterbidding there is a thread about this, and you can tell if it is Wynn as they are the one not charging the resort fee. The golf symble only means that the hotel is within a short distance to golf, like the LV country club behind the Hilton
