If all these hotels are just trying to mislead and deceive me with resort fees, do I have to pay this "resort fee"? No. You do not legally have to pay any hotel resort fee. Resort fees are in violation of Nevada's Deceptive Trade Practices Law.
So, are there any hotels in Las Vegas without resort fees? YES! However, most of them are not located directly on the Strip or downtown. Instead, they're usually a few blocks away from high-traffic tourist areas.
