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.
Reminds me of the airline advertising after deregulation. "Los Angeles to New York $99!!" Only, one could not fly to NYC for $99. (You had to purchase a round trip to get that fare.)

Not unlike "Florsheim Imperial Shoes $99!!" (But, you have to buy two shoes at $99/each.)

Fortunately the feds re-regulated advertising and banned the deceptive one-way fare.

Hotels next?
