American Casino Guide Resort Fee Articles

The American Casino Guide is a great buy of information and coupons.
I was honored to publish a resort fee article in the 2011 edition on page 22 and expect a revised article to come out in the 2012 edition.

NOTE THAT  BECAUSE BLOGS ARE ARRANGED BY DATE, TO KEEP SOME POSTS AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG, I'VE CREATED ARTIFICIAL FUTURE DATES.  IGNORE THEM.  All 2011 dates reflect the actual date of the post.  Scroll down to those.

I have tried to organize the issues around Resort Fees in the following blog posts so that they are easy to skim and easy to use for links to just one aspect of the problem. Hope it helps to have gathered and posted this information.

LISTs: FEES AND NO FEES

 ********************************************************************


NOTE THAT  BECAUSE BLOGS ARE ARRANGED BY DATE, TO KEEP SOME POSTS AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG, I'VE CREATED ARTIFICIAL FUTURE DATES.  IGNORE THEM. All 2011/12 dates reflect the actual date of the post.


THIS POST OF RESORT FEE LISTS LAST EDITED February, 2012
SCROLLING DOWN A FEW POSTS THE DATES OF POSTING ARE REAL.
BELOW ARE LISTED SITES THAT ATTEMPT TO COLLECT AND LIST RESORT FEES AND AMENITIES
**********************************************************************
1.This list has been continuously updated.  It includes a mention of the amount after taxes.

I use it as my first reference and I generally do not need another.

2.  Interesting color coded chart on this site gives a quick way to look at amenities.  I think the tax information needs to be added.  If the resort fee is taxed, the math is different.  Always check any information with a call to a casino reservations clerk to insure accuracy.

3.  Some casinos will not be listed  in the site below because they can't be booked here. Like Gold Spike. This site lacks notice of when there is taxation of the fee itself.  Most resort fees do incur taxes.  So in general, add $1.20 per $10 resort fee. A fee quoted as $10 is really $11.20.  One quoted as $20 is really $22.40. Or use one of the other lists that tries to include that information.
