Harrah’s uses resort fees to take swing at competitors
http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010...g-competitors/
Struggling under a mammoth debt burden in penny-pinching times, Strip casino giant Harrah's Entertainment is taking the offensive with a press release informing consumers that none of the company's Las Vegas hotels charge so-called mandatory resort fees.
The release also takes a broad swipe at the competition, including the many Las Vegas hotels that charge such fees.
"These resorts offer competitive promotional rates; however, in many instances, an additional resort fee is assessed when booking the reservation online (that) may be in excess of 40 percent of the base room rate," the release states.
