And this isn't even in a State Court - it is in a District Court.

To really get the resort fees in the room rate - this really comes down to creating a Federal Law or the FTC making a ruling such as they did in airline pricing.
I mean if you manage to get a quorum of states in agreement on anything, that would force the government to make change.
Understanding federal vs state authority is its own problem, but get enough states on board with an idea and there you have have it.
The problem is how often can you get many differing bodies to agree on anything...
