What is killing business in my thoughts is the resort fees , I do not mind paying for the motel , But i seldom use the pool and other amenities at the hotels . I love Vegas for the shopping and variety of restaurants. I can even get comp rooms on my phone games. but even with that the resort fees kill you and taxes as well. I would rather see a set price up front like Hilton does on their hotel website when your booking a hotel. I recently had to travel to another city for surgery and i booked a hampton inn and the price they quoted me was excessive , but was in a college town , That included everything , and has a hilton Honors member cold water and cokes and even snacks were offered when we checked in .
