Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and PH Towers Westgate have joined other Harrah’s Entertainment hotels in Las Vegas in banning resort fees.
The resorts join Caesars Palace, Harrah’s Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, Flamingo Las Vegas, Bally’s Las Vegas, Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon and Imperial Palace as official “no resort fee zones.”
The announcement was commemorated by Holly Madison, star of “Holly’s World” and Planet Hollywood’s “Peepshow,” in an unveiling of $12 million in cash, the amount spent last month on resort fees by visitors to the Las Vegas Strip.
Harrah’s Entertainment is the first major casino operator on the Las Vegas Strip to completely remove such fees. Competitor resorts have eliminated them for select guests, but most continue to assign fees which, in some cases, are in excess of 40 percent of the advertised room rate and are often not prominently advertised to the guest, according to Harrah’s.
To celebrate the elimination of resort fees and heighten consumer awareness, Harrah’s has launched a No Resort Fees — The Travel Smart Choice campaign, including a global Skip the Resort Fees Sweepstakes.
At the conclusion of the three-month sweepstakes, one winner will take home $21,900, the sum total of three years of resort fees at $20 per day.
The winner must be age 21 or older and is not required to be present in Las Vegas for the drawing. For full Skip the Resort Fees Sweepstake rules and procedures, visit www.vegasnoresortfees.com .
