Las Vegas Hotels Without Resort Fees – Strip & Downtown!

Key Points:

• On the Strip, the only hotel that never charges a resort fee is Casino Royale.

• Treasure Island also offers a “TV Ad Special” deal that makes resort fees optional.

• On Fremont Street, neither 4 Queens nor Binion’s charge a resort fee.

Visitors still feel rage about paying resort fees, and while booking websites have done a better job of communicating them, they’re still despised.

Nightly resort fees in Las Vegas range from $0 (at a few select hotels) all the way up to the mid $40s at high-end properties like Wynn, Venetian, Aria, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and Waldorf Astoria.

While it’s a common question posed on social media, yes, you (almost) always need to pay resort fees at hotels that charge them. There’s little recourse beyond losing your shirt in the casino or complaining about an aspect of your stay.

It’s important to note that resort fees are also taxable which makes the hit to your wallet a bit more painful. While some visitors simply accept resort fees as a fact of life, others have pledged to never pay them.

With that in mind, I wanted to start and maintain an up-to-date list of Las Vegas hotels without resort fees so you can plan accordingly.

One final note before diving in: While nobody likes paying a nightly resort fee, I wouldn’t recommend excluding resorts that charge them from your hotel search.

Instead, simply take the resort fee into account when comparing and contrasting your options.

Commonly, resorts that charge a resort fee end up being a better fit at a better price than the resorts below that don’t – The absence of resort fees doesn’t necessarily mean that an option is “cheaper” or “a better deal”.

In addition to that, the resorts that don’t charge a resort fee in Las Vegas tend to be on the “less luxurious” side of the spectrum than their fee-charging counterparts. Those who value a mid-tier or upscale resort experience are likely better off paying up.

Las Vegas Strip Hotels Without a Resort Fee

Best Western at Casino Royale:

A budget option, this small, center Strip hotel doesn’t charge resort fees or parking.

The value doesn’t stop with the advantageous fee structure, however, as the hotel is part of Casino Royale, which caters to low rollers. The gaming floor has a vintage Vegas vibe and offers $3 bottled beer around the clock.

Casino Royale’s location is the real win, however, as the hotel is smack dab in the middle of the Strip surrounded by a plethora of entertainment and cheap dining options.
