$20 a night for a resort fee seems to be rather high for a downtown casino.

I would think $5 to $10 would be more in line with a downtown location.

They told me those folks who have already booked will not have to pay. Just new bookings. None of it makes any sense to me. I liked the D. Now I'll be looking elsewhere and I suppose find the same crap there.

So Derek tells us that the new resort fee will help them lower room rates at the D. Does this make sense? Why not make the rooms free but have a $40 resort fee, that way you can be listed first on hotels.com, which seems to be their reasoning. I don't know how this will effect comp rooms, but I will be staying and playing at no fee hotels, while there are a few still left that are not trying to fool their customers with hidden charges.

Really puts a wrench in my future plans and I know you really enjoyed your stays at the D. The Four Queens has treated me well in regards to comps in relation to my play.

Good Point! Last year I booked rooms at Bally's for $15! yes $15! Now their resort fee is higher!

Nothing in Dereks statement makes sense. In trying to rationalize his $20 fee he's going to give us a $10 coupon for some show I won't be seeing, Free wifi for people who don't bring computers to Las Vegas, and free local phone calls when everybody has a phone in their pocket. Its simply greed. Hey Derek, are you going to charge us to look out the window at the freemont light show.
