U.S. resort fees will generate as much as $1.7 billion, but the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino won’t take in any.
Harrah’s Ends Resort Fees At Two New Vegas Properties
As travelers increasingly find themselves subjected to hidden fees and surcharges, Harrah’s En- tertainment is bucking one grow-
ing trend by eliminating resort fees at its two
newest properties in Las Vegas.
The move makes Harrah’s the only major
casino operator on the Strip to completely
remove what has become an almost standard
$20-a-day surcharge at Las Vegas properties
as well as other resorts around the world.
But don’t expect Harrah’s decision to be-
come an industry movement. “Once you get
hooked on this resort-fee scheme, getting
off the train is tough because you are walk-
ing away from a lot of money,” said Michael
Weaver, vice president of marketing for
Harrah’s Las Vegas properties.
