As I've written here before, I used to spend a lot of my time in Las Vegas but now it's gotten so expensive and tourist-trappy (if that isn't a word, it should be) that I have zero desire to set foot in that town. The message of the city used to be "Come here and play" and now it's more like "Come here and empty your wallet, max out your credit cards, lose your kids' college money…"
As of today, the MGM group of hotels is raising parking fees and, even worse, resort fees. The latter are these mandatory charges added to the bill for your room. They advertise it'll cost you a reasonable $50 or $100 a night to stay there but now at the MGM hotels, there's this resort fee of $45 to $55 dollars, ostensibly for things like access to the gym or other services you don't want and won't use. Almost all the hotels have resort fees and the ones that aren't that high will probably be that high shortly.
It's a shame. That used to be such a fun place to go. I think I still have some comps for free rooms there but no desire to use them.
