Someone told me when hotels first started resort fees there was a way to not pay them. Is there any way to get out of paying the fees now?

I did not see the Carriage House on the list. I have always found that they have very good rates, and they don't charge a resort fee.

There are so many properties in Vegas; not all that don't charge resort fees are on the list...

[VIPRaniLane]

The easiest way is the most obvious; choose a hotel w/o resort fees.

Here is a full list of other ways to avoid paying them:

They need to include resort fees into the rate comparisons. Rental car companies and airlines are forced to include all the fees in the rates they quote. Hotels need to be dragged into that.

That is very very helpful
