Yay! Five posts, and I can show some proofs.

The first is a Vegas hotel for early March that shows when all is said and done, your "$70.16 a night + tax" hotel is actually $179 a night because they charge almost as much as the room rate for tax and fees ($60.38 per nite) and you get to pay a resort fee of $51 a night (don't forget that's taxable too) when you check in.

Room tax rate for Vegas is most likely not 85%.

$350.08 room rate. Plus $301.89 "Taxes and Fees". Plus pay resort fee $225 + tax when you arrive.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably costs more in this case.

The first



The second example is my sad Golden Goose which turned out to be an even sadder Wild Goose Chase. Taxes and Fees twice the room rate. But hey, no resort fees.
And *that's hard to do!* said no one.
Quality Inn, Central California, Lathrop, about 75 miles east of San Francisco for anyone wanting to know and if you want to pay $350 per 10K.
