Hi Goddard1 - agreed that it's not the way things should be done but more info here: http://www.lasvegasjaunt.com/las-vegas-resort-fees-2016-guide/

We are returning to the Platinum hotel in April. We will be paying resort fees for the first time. Its a non casino hotel so i don't think the fees are as high as others. However they have brought in a wine hour and i think we will make good use of that!

To be fair, I would pay a resort fee for a wine hour ha ha ha.

We stayed in the Mirage and I just felt they were too much. It just put such a downer on the experience. Kind of felt like being made to pay VAT at the end without being told.

Like me to see if they go now Trumpton is in charge....

Booking.com should have made it clear there was resort tax. Poor show on them. Mirage looks a lovely hotel. Did you try the Big Roller? Was wondering if it was worth it.

Yeah it was a nice hotel, never did the roller but I would go back. It is one of the older hotels (you want to see the carpet patterns). But it was nice and felt like Vegas if you know what I mean.

Casino was manic and it had a great nightclub in side. One of the croupeires told me they pump fresh oxygen into the casino to ensure everyone stays awake so they gamble more. How true I don't know but what a move.

Rooms were great and big.

I have heard about the oxygen too! I remember going through Balleys on our way to the Strip one evening and when we actually returned the following late morning I noticed a woman we had seen the night before, in the same outfit and on the same machine. I am pretty sure she hadnt moved!

Hahahaha. Bet they spend their life savings in their.

ill stick to the lottery..

Yes. Loads of pawn shops with Rolex watches in their windows
