your post reminded me, they did say something about a bottle of wine when I checked in (you can have this or a bottle of wine) but I never get the bottle of wine so dismissed. Give it a shot if you stay

For somebody like me who doesn't drink alcohol, this is useless.

Agree.
I had them put in my profile that we don’t drink. Unfortunately not always read. Those complimentary bottles of wine that sometimes get sent go to waste on us as I’m not packing in my bags to take home.
Much prefer a fruit plate or something along those lines.

Was upgraded to a suite last weekend. Booked before the irritating destination fee was invoked, and was pleasantly surprised this was not mentioned at all during my stay, and was absent from my folio without any intervention on my end. Sad to see this fee however and will make future stays more difficult to justify.

Was wondering if I was going to have to put up a fight next week when I go. Glad to see it went smoothly for you.

I just completed a very nice stay at the Las Vegas Renaissance. On check in the FD rep asked me what kind of room upgrade I would prefer; never been asked that anywhere before. This hotel has convenient self parking, garage elevator opens into the hotel lobby; no long walks.
I was pleasantly surprised to find an omelette bar with chef in the concierge lounge. Plenty of breakfast items with several varieties of cut fruit, buffet of eggs and sausages. Hostess stopped by our table several times to clear dishes.
I was not charged a "destination fee". Maybe they waive it for Plats.

Stayed here for the first time earlier this week on a 2 day reward stay (for CES). Was told about the destination fee which I already knew about. With that got two 2-drink coupons (also good for doubles), 2 coffees and (as a plat) choice of 1000 bonus points, a bottle of wine or a cheese/fruit plate. I joked that it was a hard decision between the wine and the points and the FD smiled and told me she'd give me all 3.
The sign said Plats/Golds get something extra for the destination fee but I didn't verify it was the same choices.
It does appear that the destination fee is sometimes waived. I showed a guy at the bar my drink tickets and he went over to the front desk and asked for some as well. They told him they hadn't charged him a destination fee...but ended up giving him a couple coupons anyway..
I'll probably stay here again for CES as it is just so convenient to the convention center. Lounge wasn't all that for breakfast or evening choices but good enough.

Getting worse
No shower gel. No mouthwash.
They seem to not be online with the mobile app's request feature.
Saw an unsupervised kid grab fruit with bare hands in lounge and walked out.
The wine that you can use the resort fee certificates for is worse than Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck - you can't even combine them for a deent glass of wine or use them as a credit towards a decent glass of wine (ie. $5 off). And you can't use the drink coupons at the espresso bar. And for non-alcoholic beverages: the Mormon's love their PEPSI! Who the heck drinks Pepsi?!?!?!?
Please tell me this is not the life SPG people have to get used to?

I just booked a two night stay here for the upcoming weekend. The disclosure on the destination fee, stated that one benefit of the fee is complimentary valet parking. Since I will be driving up from the PHX area, this seems to be worth the extra $25.00 nightly fee, or am I missing something? In any event, the nightly room rate is just over $100.00, so I have no complaints over the fee in this situation.
Also, I will report back about the quality of the lounge offerings.

Renaissance LV - destination amenity fee???
I have made a booking for this hotel but I am puzzled about this warning "A daily destination amenity fee of USD 23.50 added to room rate includes covered valet parking, Internet and more." Is this in addition to the standard charge for parking? As a Platinum member I get free internet so what is this all about?
TIA
