Hi eveyone,

Just thought I'd mention that I've been helping some family members to book their hotels through Low Cost USA in order to come out to our Vegas wedding at the end of September.

Their price (as usual) was already very good, and when I rang up I clarified that the price for the Mirage (where we were making the bookings), that the price DOES include resort fees as well! It also clearly states the same in the booking confirmation, i.e. "This reservation includes all resort fees".

Their reprasentative told me that wherever possible they try to include the resort fee in the total price for all hotels. However, they don't explicitly state it on the website as they have varying contracts with the hotels so can't always guarantee that the resort fee will be covered.

So, between the various bookings that's saved 21 nights worth of rip-off (resort) on what was a very good price already!!

How have you saved the resort fees if they are included in the price you paid?

What price did you pay for the Mirage and what dates ?

Would be interesting to see how much you saved as I have a good deal booking direct with the Mirage in Aug

Found on the vegasmessageboard a link to an article in the lasvegas sun about Vegas thrill rides

According to the article the fremont street zipline flys 800 ft above tourists heads, I think they may have added one to many 0s

Met the old lady on A&E last night in Vegas airport, helped her fill in the green visa waiver form, she was very intriguing
