Harrah’s Entertainment has eliminated resort fees at all of its Las Vegas properties.
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and PH Towers Westgate were the last in Harrah’s Las Vegas portfolio to do away with the extra daily charges.
The resorts join Caesars Palace, Harrah's Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, Flamingo Las Vegas, Bally’s Las Vegas and Imperial Palace as official "no resort fee zones," the company said.
Harrah’s says it is the first major casino operator on the Strip to completely remove the fees. Some other resorts have eliminated the fees for select guests, but most major properties add the charge, which range from $10 to $20 per day, to cover the cost of entry to the pool and fitness center, among other things.
"We want our guests to have a choice in regards to where they spend their money," said Marilyn Winn, president of Planet Hollywood and PH Towers. "We don’t believe in hidden fees or forcing our guests to pay for amenities they may not need or desire."
Harrah’s said a total of $12 million in resort fees was collected on the Las Vegas Strip last month.
