This statement confirmed 1) hilton hide the fee very well, 2) it warrant the lawsuit.
try search "Las Vegas". For example, on a random date in sept, a $85 double tree with a resort fee of $37, dont you think its deceptive ? It's over 40% mark up from its advertised price on third parties or even their own booking site.
