Just Caesars? Or the entire company? Any chance the new owners might start a trend of eliminating resort fees?
The entire company. From what I gather the big thing is that Eldorado is paying a certain amount AND assuming about that much in debt.
As far as resort fees go, I remember back when Harrah's as a company (before the merger) would ridicule other casino hotels for charging resort fees.
It's also kind of odd now. We've had reduced rates because we've gambled, and I remember some of those stays resort fees weren't charged although they were mentioned in the reservations. Recently I stayed in Vegas on business and even though our base rate averaged about $45/night (it was a really good rate compared to almost everyone else) at the SLS, the resort fee was about $32 a night. And since I stayed there and they have my email address, I've been sent their promotional messages, including one that says they have a special deal now where a reservation made before July 7 will be free of resort fees. Stays are up to Dec 31.
And speaking of SLS, I heard that they're going to name it Sahara again.
