My father lives in Boulder City and we have gone to the Railroad Pass Hotel for almost 25 years. The rooms were reasonably priced and we were able to stay out of downtown Vegas. We went there this past weekend and my father had paid for our two rooms in advance. When I checked in they required my card. They did NOT show me any information about the rooms. A few days after we returned home, there was a $550 charge on my card from the hotel. I thought I had been double charged because rooms used to be between $40 and $60/a night, weekday vs. weekend. In addition, they were NOT supposed to charge my card at all as my father had pre-paid for the rooms.
Well, it turns out that they are under new management. They have doubled their rates, so a room on a weekend is now $116/night! I was not notified of that at all and yet was charged for it. My father--who is elderly--had to go to the hotel to deal with the issues in person and was finally able to get it straightened out, despite the staff being less-than-friendly to him.
This is most disturbing because well, we have patroned there several times a year over the past 23 years. We have already researched and found a new place to call 'home' for our visits. I do not recommend using this hotel if you are visiting Lake Meade or Las Vegas.
