I come to Vegas for work a lot and have stayed all over the place. This time I had to go cheap because I was billing the client and I got a deal online for 35 a night, I thought what a wonderful price. I am glad I paid that cheap because the 20 a night reseort fee is a friggin joke. The young man that checked me in said well all the places do it, well sonny, you are not the Bellagio or Ceasars, sheesh, I don't think Exaclibur even changes that much.
Lets break it down, what do you get? 1. Free local calls (ever hear of a cell phone). 2. Internet for one device (we had our own, plus smart phones) and 3. use of the cardio room (the most run down place in the hotel!)
I basically paid 60 dollars for something I didn't even use.
The room was bog and clean, the overall hotel just had an old feeling to it. I was amazed how letters were missing from signs and things broken. You would think that the Westgate would take care of that if they want to draw the crowds.
When you take the average night room rate which I think is around 75 and add the 20 resort fee, I can think of quite a few better joints to stay at in Vegas.
