NONE, of the CET-group charge them.
So, NO resort fee at :
Caesars, Planet Hollywood, Paris, Flamingo, Harrah's, Imperial Palace, RIO, Bally's, Bill's
Seems to me, that there are quite a few rooms with NO resort fee in Vegas. (and, I ONLY touched on the CET-group)
But, don't fool yourself, NO resort fee is OFTEN NOT the best deal.

My last stay couple months ago I got nothing. No upgrade (although I know it was a slow week for them)
I ask for late check out and they said no.
At check in they said I will receive points for my stay.
A couple weeks later after no points posted, they claimed the rate I booked did not qualify (I booked through the palazzo web site)

Stayed at palazzo 2 weekends ago and this the FIRST time I didn't have to argue for an upgrade and late check out...
I'm not sure if it was because it was a slow weekend or something, but they actually treated me... well, as if I was at a NORMAL intercontinental!
They even sent up a huge fruit plate and water and a cupcake (it was my b-day) without asking!
I know these are stated benefits, but I've stayed here many times since they've entered the program and it's NEVER been this easy... I wonder if it was a one time fluke, or if they are finally getting it that these "perks" aren't just them doing us favors, but something we're entitled to.

Point credit for stays booked on palazzo website
I was just denied my point credit for a $129 rate I had booked on the palazzo website. It was a special rate, however no particular inclusions such as free tickets etc. Just the normal dining discounts I actually never got the vouchers for.
Now PC is claiming that the rate doesn't qualify. I thought that FTers were successful in getting points for their stays at Palazzo. Could someone tell me how they managed to do this if the stay was booked on the hotel website?

More back on topic, I've never gotten priority points for stays at Venetian/Palazzo unless I booked through the IHG site (booking through expedia, Venetian.com, and southwest vacations all were listed at inelgible rates).
