The 10 Best Hotels Without Resort Fees in Vegas in 2024
The 10 Best Hotels Without Resort Fees in Vegas in 2024
Jessica Nemire
If you’ve ever booked a hotel in Las Vegas, you probably know the frustration of resort fees. You see a hotel room for a decent price, but when you go to book, you discover that the total rate is much higher once they add the resort fees! Luckily, not every hotel in Vegas uses resort fees. Read below for our favorite hotels without resort fees in Las Vegas.
The Top 10 Vegas Hotels Without Resort Fees
So, what is a resort fee, anyway? Also referred to as an amenity fee, resort fees are meant to cover the cost of the hotel’s extra amenities. (Granted, most hotels simply include amenities in their total price anyway.) Many hotels used to charge their guests a fee if they wanted to, say, use the gym or pool for one day.
A hotel guest only had to pay the additional gym fee if they used the gym. However, in the interest of making a few extra bucks, hotels began to charge every guest a “resort fee.” Whether a guest used the amenity or not, the resort fee was added to every guests’ bill.
So, where did resort fees come from? There are a few reasons why these unwanted extra charges have become popular. One reason is that people started booking hotels online instead of calling a hotel directly to make a reservation. Those third-party sites like Expedia or—cough—Booking.com charge a small fee for hosting the hotel on their site, so the hotels accrue it back by charging their guests.
Another reason why resort fees became so popular for hotels is that hotels could advertise a lower rate to encourage bookings, particularly during the recession in the early 2000s. And contrary to popular belief, Las Vegas wasn’t the first city to start this—they’re just the most notorious since almost every hotel has resort fees here. Although resort fees may not be legal in all U.S. states, it’s tricky to get out of paying them.
It sure is demoralizing when you book a room that’s $26 a night, only to see that the nightly resort fee is $39 or more. That’s why you might be better off picking a Vegas hotel that doesn’t have resort fees!
Of course, there’s a catch. All of the iconic Las Vegas hotels on the Strip charge resort fees. However, we know of some great Vegas hotels without resort fees that are pretty close to the Strip (and even one that is right on it). We also have some off-Strip favorites for a calmer stay—plus you’ll find a lot more options with fridges and microwaves off Strip!

$ | 3 Star | On Strip |Affordable Stay | Clean Rooms
This is the only hotel right on the Las Vegas Strip that doesn’t charge resort fees. (Woot woot!) If you want to avoid the fees but be right in the middle of the action, this is a great choice to stay at! Although the exterior of this hotel may look a little run down, you’ll change your mind once you’re inside.
The hotel prides itself on cleanliness and safety, and you can tell once you’re in the rooms. Although they may be basic, they are clean and comfortable. The customer service is also top notch.
In terms of location, you can’t get any better. The Casino Royale Best Western Plus is right across from the Mirage and the free volcano show, and right next to the Venetian hotel. There are plenty of affordable food options close by, as well as an affordable bar and casino onsite.
$$ | 3 Star | Great Location | Old School Vibes |Budget-Friendly
The Four Queens is the only hotel on this list of Vegas hotels without resort fees that’s near Fremont Street. If you’re planning on checking out Fremont Street while you’re in Vegas, this is where you should stay!
You’ll find Four Queens right on Fremont Street in the middle of all the action. Inside, the rooms are clean and spacious. What’s more, most of them have a microwave and a coffee maker for extra convenience!
Not only does the Four Queens not charge resort fees, but they also have free parking for guests! We love Fremont Street, but it can get rowdy here. Therefore, we suggest bringing any valuables to your room and not leaving them in the car.
$$ | 4 Star | No Casino | Close to the Strip |Rooms With Kitchenette
At the Desert Rose Resort, you and your group can get your own suite with a small kitchen and even a balcony! The kitchen comes equipped with basic kitchen supplies, as well as a full fridge, coffee maker, and microwave!
There’s no casino here, which makes it great for a family trip. Aside from that, one of the other best parts of Desert Rose Resort is its location. It’s just a 15-minute walk to the south end of the Strip (think: Mandalay Bay).
Therefore, you can enjoy a peaceful off-Strip stay without being too far from the action by foot or by Uber. We also love the clean pool area, which is great for lounging and escaping the Vegas heat.

$$ | 3 Star | Great Customer Service | Free Parking |Close to Nature
Although the Hampton Inn & Suites doesn’t charge resort fees at any of its locations, this one is great for those who want to go hiking while in Vegas. Staying close to the Strip is perfect for being in the middle of all the action, but this is a more peaceful stay.
Just a short 9-minute drive to Red Rock Canyon, this hotel is known for its friendly staff and spacious rooms. Guests have also said the beds here are very soft and comfortable. If you are hoping to spend some time on the Strip during your visit, it’s around a 20-minute drive. There’s also free parking onsite, which is an added bonus!

This property is a popular spot for business trips. Guests love the large, modern rooms and comfortable beds. The hotel has a quiet, calm atmosphere, but is only a 5-minute drive from the south end of the Strip.
Perhaps best of all, the rooms include a kitchenette with a full fridge, coffee maker, stove, and microwave! These are suites, which don’t normally have a casino on the property. In any case, this property does not.
TownePlace Suites is a newer property, and guests have been impressed with its cleanliness. The excellent customer service is also enough to keep people coming back to this property over and over again. If you’re in Vegas on business and want to avoid both the hectic Strip and resort fees, this is a great pick.
$$$ | 3 Star | Incredible Amenities | Free Daily Activities |Rooftop Pool
Marriot’s Grand Chateau is a short 6-minute walk from the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. There’s no casino, so this is a great option if you’re in Vegas with your family and still want to explore the Strip. What’s more, there are free activities for all guests every day! Found on the 5th floor, the activities usually include games (such as bingo), and there are often even prizes.
Many of the rooms come with a great view. The villas also have their own washer and dryer inside, which is extremely unusual and an amazing amenity for longer stays or road-trip stopovers! There’s also a rooftop pool with a bar and an awesome view of the whole city.

This is a great pick for families traveling together! The 2-bedroom suites come equipped with a full kitchen, dishwasher, dryer, and washer! Some of the suites have a walk-in shower and a jacuzzi-style tub, which makes for even more relaxation. The suites also have a dining table and large seating area, which is perfect for families.
There’s also a pool in the third tower of this hotel which is open at all hours of the day and night. The Wyndham Grand Desert is close enough to the Strip that you could walk. However, they also provide a free shuttle to take guests to Harrah’s! From there, it’s easy to walk and explore the rest of the Strip.
$$ | 3 Star | Free Parking | Continental Breakfast |Free Shuttle to the Strip
This option is not as close to the Strip as some of the others on this list, but they do offer a free shuttle to the Strip! Otherwise, it’s around a 30-minute walk to the middle of the Strip. This property is great for those who want to escape the Strip’s craziness. Plus you’re only 5 minutes from the off-Strip Virgin Hotel, which hosts musical acts in its theater and also has some nice restaurants.
The rooms at Hyatt Place Las Vegas are clean and spacious, and the beds are comfortable. There’s also a continental breakfast to help you get your day started. If you want to avoid resort fees as well as the hectic Strip atmosphere, but you still want to be able to visit the Strip, this is a fantastic pick!

$$ | 3 Star | Free Breakfast | Close to Restaurants |Quiet & Clean

The rooms are very spacious and clean, and many come with a kitchenette that includes a microwave and refrigerator. There’s also a nice pool area, which guests love. If you’re heading to Vegas but would rather skip the resort fees and not stay on the Strip, this is a good choice. Also, it’s pretty hard to beat free breakfast.
