The best thing that could happen to Vegas is to break up Caesars and get some competition back the market.
Although I am MGM guy myself, same goes for them.
You basically have two companies running Las Vegas today and that is not good for Vegas and somebody in power with balls needs to realize that and take action.
NOT Going TO HAPPEN!!! Unless bankruptcy court makes it happen.

Wow, free local calls! Who doesn't have a cell phone? Now my $35 room with tax and resort fees at Bally's costs $100. That's why I like in calls. I have an extra $100 to spend more time with my companion.

Why don't the hotels just put the resort fees into the room rates. The you would know if you were really getting a break with their promotion. Added resort fees make the guest feel that they are getting ripped-off.

Plus, now they're gouging people for that stadium on top of the rest.

Mgm properties are the only ones currently charging for parking consistently at the moment
Up to an hour has been free and have left a bit after 2hrs and paid $7 - in my experience
Caesars properties are in the most part still installing gates, pay stations in the majority of their properties
Locals still get free parking at Caesars properties by scanning your license at entrance but find it odd that as you leave the gate automatically opens (scanning your plates?)
Who knows what info is on that barcode on your drivers license anyways

Here's a more comprehensive listing of LV properties with and without resort fees (see link below).

I'm also a member of a LV travel forum and we've been discussing the latest increase in resort fees at CET properties too. LOL  All of these fees are getting ridiculous.

I rarely stay on the strip anymore because my $$$ goes farther staying off-strip.  Boyd gaming properties have been pretty good to me, so I usually stay at the Orleans where they comp my rooms as well as the resort fees.  They also have free parking!

No mpre scanning the local id or free for 4 hours. Nope. Most of the systems have been installed and now both sides of the strip charging for parking. I like parking at LINQ or Casino Royale when I can.

I usually travel to Vegas with friends who are there on business.   They get their strip hotel suites either comped or they write them off.  So when I'm in town while they are there, I stay on the strip. But to be honest.  The roaming/people watching has gotten a bit old for me...

SO  on the nights either before they arrive or after they leave, I have found off strip hotels to be a much better value and just as much fun for the hobby.  I have been a big Palms Place fan (free parking, easy access and really cool rooms) but their resort fees are climbing too.  I am probably going to (after checking to make sure my appointments are cool with it) the Orleans, or some of the other off strip hotels....  I love a nice room to plaly in, but I am providing for my own "amenities" so I hate paying the bucks to the hotel when I can share them with the ladies....

the Embassy Suites on Paradise Road near the convention Center or the Embassy Suites near UNLV.  Both offer free internet, free breakfast, free parking and a free shuttle which runs at the bottom ofevery hour to the Strip.
