CASINOSJust reading a post over on The Dibb. Seems all the MGM properties have increased their 'Resort Fee'.:(
For example, NYNY is now $28, up from $16.80, and most others are up by around $5!
More of a reason to avoid them and stay at the CET properties.
Here is the supplied link to the new charges:

VALUE FOR MONEYMob Museum downtown opens today. It sounds a lot better than the one at the Tropicana.
It has a piece of the wall from the St Valentine's day massacre, hence the opening date.:eek:0 -

CASINOSok, what now? The only time we have flown business on AA was to Chicago (that time we were upgraded at the gate and spent the next 8 hours thinking 'thank you duchy and stoneman for telling us about the platinum challenge!')...there was an opportunity for ice cream, a little tub of something nice...and (apparently, I wouldn't know as someone DID NOT WAKE ME UP) warm cookies...but sundae cart is a new concept that is most interesting.
The CC come around with a card full of stuff and soft ice cream. Bloody lovely!!! Go over to flyertalk and see if they still do itThe common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0 -
The rise in resort fees is shocking. I'm sure more people will choose Caesars' properties now more than ever.
We are staying at THEhotel in May and I see their one hasn't gone up.
If anyone has already booked at an MGM property where the resort fee had gone up, tell them at check in that you booked before the rise and they might give you the original rate. I did this at the MGM as I had booked before they introduced the resort fee and it was waived. The same when they increased it from $10 to $20.0 -
That's disgraceful if they NYNY resort fee is $28, they might as well have !!!!!! Turpin on reception if they have the balls to charge this. We have 3 nights comped there next month so will be interesting to see what they charge us. Looking at their reservations page teh resort fee is $18 + tax so maybe its a typo.0

Hotel Advice
This will be my first trip to Vegas with my two daughters, I am really struggling over which Hotel to book, I can't afford one of the big fancy ones and have been looking at around $600 for three nights, can anyone either recommend somewhere central or even tell me where definitely not to go. Please, any advice will be gratefully accepted0 -
I guess if they give the rooms away for $9.99 like Ryanair, the new resort tax is reasonable. However as stated, its a massive disincentive to staying at MGM properties now.illegitimi non carborundum0

$200/night is quite a lot really - what days are you looking at? How old are your daughters?Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?0
