videos in the future and be sure to LIKE
the video as well now let's get into
five ways to help you avoid resort fees
here in Las Vegas number one and this
one is going to require you to spend
some money and that is that you gamble
okay if you gamble here in Las Vegas you
can get your resort fees wait now this
could depend off from property to
property is well worth it to ask a
casino host and see what they say if
you're someone who gambles are ready
this might be easier for you to just
gamble a little bit more and get your
resort fees waive so it might be worth
looking you know your budget on your
Vegas vacation take a look at your
gambling budget and maybe pulling some
money from somewhere else for the
gambling budget because the amount you
paid resort fees could wind up going
towards you know you're gambling
budget-minded at least you're gonna be
easy for some entertainment costs okay
if you can avoid the resort for you to
spend that money on some gambling then
it could wind up you know working out to
your benefit where at least you got some
entertainment for the money you spent
and maybe even win some money back
number two you simply stay at a casino
property or hotel property that does not
have a resort fee okay I've done
constant on this before I'll link it up
here or down below in the description a
lot of these are gonna be off the strip
you can find some on the strip
usually these places do not have a
casino inside of them a lot of times
these could be a hotel it could be a
motel could be a timeshare that you can
just book for a few nights at a time
often times are gonna be off the strip
you can find some on the strip okay
there's ones I've talked about in the
videos before about ones that are on the
strip or just right near the strip
within half a block within a block
within two blocks something
very easy walk to get over here to Las
Vegas Boulevard so if you're not really
big on having a casino in the place
you're staying at it could mind it being
a very good deal for you some of these
places especially the timeshares will
have like a kitchen in there so it's
like staying in an apartment complex so
sometimes you can score a good deal that
way number three way to avoid resort
fees and this one is one where it really
pays do your research if you're gonna be
coming here to Las Vegas for a vacation
it pays to do some research and spend
some time you know searching for deals
and stuff beforehand and this place
there is basically it's gonna get a
shout out for me on this one
Treasure Island they've been running a
deal for quite a while now where they
have a deal where the resort fee is
optional yeah they have an optional
resort fee deal it shows our Islands
through there they're running a TV ads
what they're doing and you can actually
even find it like on YouTube and
actually on their website they have it
and you can find on there and on YouTube
where they see this this TV ad running
and it talks about the room rate for the
night and the fact that has an optional
resort fee so the two ways you get are
one you book online using that deal or
two you just call in to make your
reservation a I saw the TV ad that said
you have an optional resort fee you know
how can i book that and they say okay I
can book it for you right here over the
phone you tell them that you don't want
the resort fee and no way before you
okay so base but that means those when
you're there you know you won't have
access to like the fax machine you won't
have access to like you know the Wi-Fi
stuff like that right you know local
calls and all that kind of stuff or
long-distance calls you just have to do
that on your own but so there is a deal
though there's a deal for that for
treasure out if you're doing research
you talk to them you call them the head
and you say hey I saw this deal from the
resort for your optional resort fee I
want to take advantage of that also I'll
throw a little bonus tip for you guys
for hotels casinos get on their email
list lots of times they have separate
deals for email lists and you know if
you get on that you sign up you get
notifications before you even come on
your vacation so you can see that you
know place is offering 5% off this 10%
off this they might be running a special
for no resort fee for some time I think
Palms for the summer of 2019 was doing a
no resort fee special as well if not
mistaken so if you get on the email list
a lot of times you get the notification
ahead of time of promotions and deals
and discounts and stuff like that so
sometimes you can do that and you may
wind up getting notification saying hey
no resort feed deal coming up in the
future you can book your vacation during
that time the fourth way to avoid resort
fees here in Las Vegas staying at Airbnb
Airbnb or VRBO or verbose some people
like to call it you know whatever same
deal where you rent the place online and
ruin us someone rents out or could be an
entire condo or an apartment or even an
entire home you can rent those online
I'll put a link down below for those of
you especially you haven't used Airbnb
or VR people before I'll put a links
down below you can see what's available
for rent you can get rooms right here on
the Las Vegas Strip you can get places
truly like half a block a block away
easy walking distance if you don't mind
staying off the strip you can stay off
the strip that's someone's apartment or
someone's home
or something like that if you don't want
to be on the strip and have to eat out
all the time this can be a great deal
for you because you can basically live
in someone else's house you can live
your just like a local you can buy your
own food cook cook it at home you know
take your meals with you take your
drinks with you just bought a local
grocery store and don't have thought
that way you don't have to spend a bunch
of money on food and drink here on this
trip so you can either walk to the strip
take a short Ober ride take a bus ride
if you're near a hotel it could seem
that has a shuttle hop on their shuttle
take it over here to this trip but
nonetheless another way that you can get
a comfortable place to stay sometimes
you can get it for cheaper than the cost
of a hotel room and there's no resort
fee on top of it the fifth and final way
you can avoid a resource for you here in
Las Vegas and this one is a bit of a
long shot but it can be worth a try is
to simply ask nicely when you're at the
desk okay because some properties the
desk person could actually waive a
resource you maybe one night maybe two
nights just depends and if they can't
waive it you know for several nights or
for a night here there they can't waive
it for more than a certain amount of
nights a supervisor could do it there's
a tweet I saw and if I could find that
I'll put it up on the screen here of
someone who they went and got were able
to get all five nights of their resort
fee waived because the person in front
of them was you know making a big scene
and berating the desk person about you
know want to get the resort fee waived
and that person waive two nights for
them just I think you know to shoo the
person away from being so annoying
but in the person behind him whatever
say I'm sorry had to deal with that and
they just asked if they'd be able to
waive the resort fees for them best
person waived all five nice so the best
lady was nice enough to do that just
because the guy went up there and asked
and said you know and he was polite
about it because the guy in front was
being a jerk
so he's polite about it and it wound up
working in his favor so you can always
try that as well okay these desk people
at the hotels casinos they deal with all
walks of life okay they do people who
don't have a lot to spend and then you
know whine and complain don't do drunk
people or there's people lots of money
the bills people with a little bit of
money but I deal with people who are is
there by themselves people with health
with the family and the screaming kids
are there at the desk too they deal with
all walks of life so if you go up there
and you're polite with them and you ask
there's a chance they may waive it for
you or you can always give the $20 trick
or try you give the $20 give a $20 bill
between your credit card and your ID and
ask if they can waive your resort fee
then there's all kinds of ways you could
you know try to just entice the front
desk person to waive your user fees for
you if you'd be polite if you take a
shot and just go ahead and ask so that's
gonna be over this video guys those your
five ways you can avoid resort fees in
Las Vegas I hope you get to use
somebody's on your vacation I hope they
work out well for you here in the future
