At The Venetian and Resorts World, the resort fee alone is $55 a night plus tax (as of October 2026), before you pay for the room. Las Vegas hotels without resort fees do still exist, but we could confirm only five on the hotels’ own websites: one on the Strip, two on Fremont Street and two non-gaming hotels off the Strip. Here they are, followed by the hotels other lists call fee-free that actually charge one.

Quick answer

Five hotels state on their own websites that they charge no resort fee: Best Western Plus Casino Royale (the only one of the five on the Strip), Four Queens and Hotel Apache at Binion’s downtown, and the non-gaming Ahern Hotel and The Carriage House. For no resort fee and free parking, Ahern says it charges neither, and Las Vegas Advisor lists free self-parking at Casino Royale.

The bar for this list: the hotel says “no resort fee” on its own website. Here’s where each one says it, and what else separates them.

1. Best Western Plus Casino Royale: The Strip’s Verified No-Fee Hotel

Verified No-Fee on the Strip

Best Western Plus Casino Royale – Center Strip

Center Strip Budget

  • No resort fee
  • Free parking
  • Center-Strip location
  • Budget rates

Casino Royale is the only hotel on this list that sits on the Strip itself, and its own website advertises “great rates, and no resort fees.” NerdWallet’s roundup, updated Sept. 10, 2026, names it as the Strip hotel without one. Las Vegas Advisor lists its self-parking as free, though there’s no valet, and all 152 rooms are non-smoking.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Location is the whole pitch. You’re on the center Strip with a casino (slots, blackjack and roulette), a Denny’s, a food court and an Outback Steakhouse on site, and the price you see isn’t padded by a nightly fee. The hotel also takes part in Best Western Rewards.

Watch out for: this is a no-frills Best Western, not a resort, and the official packages page making the no-fee promise was last updated in September 2025. Confirm that the final booking total shows only the room and taxes.

Check availability at Casino Royale

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

2. The Carriage House: Best for Suites and Kitchens

Best for Suites and Kitchens

The Carriage House

Off-Strip Mid-range

  • No resort fee
  • No casino
  • A block off the Strip
  • Parking $10/day

The Carriage House is a non-gaming vacation-ownership hotel on Harmon Avenue, between MGM Grand and Planet Hollywood by its own description, and its fact sheet is blunt: no resort fee. Of its 155 rooms, 113 are suites, and rooms come with kitchens or kitchenettes.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Pick it for families, longer stays or anyone who wants to cook. Wi-Fi is complimentary, there’s a fitness center, and the hotel describes itself as family-friendly.

Watch out for: guests pay $10 a day to park (owners park free), and the heated pool and hot tub were temporarily closed at last check; the hotel says guests can use the pool at neighboring Marriott’s Grand Chateau in the meantime. Only service animals are allowed.

3. Four Queens: Best No-Fee Hotel Downtown

The 4 Queens neon sign glowing on Fremont Street

Best Downtown

Four Queens Hotel & Casino

Downtown Budget

  • No resort fee
  • On Fremont Street
  • Hugo's Cellar
  • Free valet

Four Queens makes the plainest promise in town: its FAQ says the hotel “never charges a Resort Fee.” You’re on the Fremont Street Experience, valet is free, and so is Wi-Fi for guests.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Book it for old-school downtown with nothing added on. Hugo’s Cellar does classic fine dining with a tableside salad cart, Mike Hammer’s comedy-magic show runs Tuesday through Saturday, and Hypnosis Unleashed plays The Canyon Club for audiences 18 and over. See how it stacks up against its neighbors in our guide to downtown Las Vegas hotels.

Watch out for: self-parking costs guests $5 a day unless you sign up for the free ALL ACCESS Players Club card and show it at the front desk. There’s no pool on site; guests use the seasonal rooftop pool at sister property Binion’s across the street. The newest major renovation Wikipedia lists is from 2007, and check-in isn’t until 4 p.m.

Check availability at Four Queens

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

4. Hotel Apache at Binion’s: Best Historic Stay

Best Historic Stay

Hotel Apache at Binion's

Downtown Budget

  • Historic hotel
  • On Fremont Street
  • No resort fee
  • Top of Binion's Steakhouse

Hotel Apache is the 81-room boutique hotel above Binion’s Gambling Hall on Fremont Street, and its official page shows “No Resort Fee” beside the booking button. It’s a non-smoking hotel with complimentary basic Wi-Fi, and the 25th-floor rooftop pool opens in the warmer months.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

History is the draw. The hotel first opened in 1932 and reopened as Hotel Apache in 2019, Binion’s dates to 1951, and the property leans into its haunted reputation with ghost hunts and paranormal events. Top of Binion’s Steakhouse is on the 24th floor.

Watch out for: there’s no valet, and guest self-parking is $5 a day unless you get the free ALL ACCESS card; parts of the Binion’s FAQ look dated, so confirm the charge at check-in. The Book Now link on binions.com goes to the Four Queens booking engine, so double-check that you’re reserving a Hotel Apache room. Check-in is 4 p.m.

5. Ahern Hotel: Best for No Fees and Free Parking

No Fees, Free Parking

Ahern Hotel

Off-Strip Mid-range

  • No resort fee
  • Free parking
  • No casino
  • Smoke-free

Ahern is the only hotel here whose own website promises both: its homepage description reads “no resort fee or parking fees,” and the page says the hotel “provides free parking.” It’s an upscale, non-smoking and non-gaming boutique hotel on West Sahara Avenue near the north end of the Strip, with its own meeting and convention space.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

It suits drivers, convention-goers and non-gamblers who want a smoke-free base with nothing added to the rate.

Watch out for: you’re near the Strip’s north end, not on it, so plan on a car or rideshare for the center Strip. Pool and dining details weren’t confirmed for this guide, so check what’s on site before you book.

How to choose a hotel without a resort fee

  • You want the Strip itself: Casino Royale is the only one of the five on Las Vegas Boulevard. The Carriage House is a block east of the boulevard on Harmon Avenue, between MGM Grand and Planet Hollywood, according to its fact sheet.
  • You want Fremont Street: Four Queens or Hotel Apache, sister properties across the street from each other that share the free ALL ACCESS players card. The other downtown casino hotels we track all charge a fee, starting with El Cortez’s $30-plus-tax “amenities fee” (as of October 2026).
  • You’re driving: Ahern (no parking fee, by its own account) or Casino Royale (free self-parking, per Las Vegas Advisor). Four Queens’ free valet works too. Our guide to Las Vegas parking fees covers everywhere else.
  • You’re on a tight budget: Casino Royale, Four Queens and Hotel Apache sit in the budget tier; Ahern and The Carriage House are mid-range. Prices vary according to travel dates and availability, so compare totals for your dates.
  • You need space or a kitchen: The Carriage House, where 113 of 155 rooms are suites.
  • You don’t gamble or can’t stand smoke: Ahern is non-gaming and non-smoking; The Carriage House is non-gaming. Our list of non-smoking hotels in Las Vegas has more.
  • You want a pool in summer: Hotel Apache’s seasonal rooftop pool, which Four Queens guests can use too.

What a resort fee adds to your bill

Clark County taxes a resort fee as part of the room rent, at 13.38% on the Strip. At $55 plus tax a night, the fee at The Venetian and Resorts World as of October 2026, that’s $62.36 a night before you pay for the room itself. Here’s what the fee alone adds up to:

NightsResort fee before taxWith 13.38% room tax
3$165.00$187.08
4$220.00$249.44
5$275.00$311.80
7$385.00$436.51

For context, the LVCVA’s 2025 visitor profile puts the average stay at 3.2 nights. Downtown fees run lower, $39 plus tax at the Plaza and Downtown Grand (as of October 2026), so the savings at Four Queens and Hotel Apache are smaller in dollars but still real. Our Las Vegas resort fees guide explains what the fees cover, and our breakdown of what a Las Vegas trip costs puts them in a full budget.

How the FTC fee rule works

The FTC’s Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees (16 CFR Part 464) took effect May 12, 2025. It covers hotels and the third-party sites and travel agents that sell their rooms: whenever a price is shown, it has to be the total including every mandatory fee, displayed more prominently than other pricing. A fee billed by default, or removed only if you object, still counts as mandatory.

What the rule doesn’t do is ban resort fees. They stay legal as long as they’re inside the upfront total, and taxes can still be left out of the advertised price as long as they’re disclosed before you pay. The FTC’s FAQ on the rule has the fine print.

How to spot the fee in a booking total

  1. Compare totals for your exact dates, not nightly rates.
  2. Open the price breakdown and look for any per-night or per-day charge beyond the room. It may be called a resort fee, an amenities fee (El Cortez’s term) or a Hotel Services Fee (at four Station Casinos hotels).
  3. Note whether the fee is charged when you book or at the hotel. Either way, it belongs in the total you compare.
  4. At a true no-fee hotel, the breakdown should show the room rate and taxes, with no other nightly charge.
  5. Screenshot the final total before you pay.

Also reported fee-free (confirm before booking)

These hotels are listed without a resort fee by NerdWallet (updated Sept. 10, 2026) or by Las Vegas Advisor’s fee tables (updated June and July 2025), but we couldn’t confirm the policy on their own websites. Treat them as leads, not guarantees.

Jockey Club and Bluegreen Club 36 are timeshares, and NerdWallet describes Marriott’s Grand Chateau as a Marriott Vacation Club property, so read their booking terms closely. The ENGLiSH Hotel is adults-only (21+). NerdWallet says the Courtyard Stadium Area is smoke-free and charges $100 per stay for pets; if you’re there for a game, see our picks for hotels near Allegiant Stadium.

Watch out: hotels wrongly called fee-free

Some popular lists still name these. Here’s what their own sites, or the most recent independent tables, show. Treasure Island and Westgate turn up on those lists too, but they drop the fee only on promotions (see below).

  • South Point: its website says “a resort fee of $33.00 per room per night will be charged” (as of October 2026). Parking there is free.
  • Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas: reports conflict. Las Vegas Advisor (June 2025) lists a $55 resort fee, while some 2026 blogs claim none. Assume there’s a fee until the booking total shows otherwise.
  • The Orleans: some blogs list $0; Las Vegas Advisor (June 2025) lists $40.99.
  • Palace Station, Sunset Station, Boulder Station and Santa Fe Station: these Station Casinos hotels charge a “Hotel Services Fee” instead ($45.34, $45.59, $33.89 and $33.89 respectively, tax included, as of October 2026). Different name, same mandatory charge.

Promotions that drop the fee

  • Treasure Island: the fee is optional only for My TI Guestbook members booking its TV Ad Special and for qualified Treasury Players Club reservations. Opt out and you pay separately for Wi-Fi, the fitness center and similar extras.
  • SAHARA: its “All-In” rate skips the resort fee and adds free breakfast for two at Zeffer’s and noon late checkout; the offer runs April 8, 2026, through July 31, 2027. The promo terms set the incidental deposit at $100 a day, versus $50 on standard bookings. Parking at SAHARA is free for all guests either way.
  • Westgate: a limited-time “No Resort Fees” package saves $49.99 plus tax per night and adds free valet, show tickets and a $75 daily dining credit. Standard stays carry the fee.
  • Circus Circus: advertises a “No Resort Fee Room Special”; otherwise, Las Vegas Advisor (June 2025) lists a $45 fee.
  • Resorts World: advertises an “ALL RESORT, NO FEES” offer, with promotional rates that skip the resort fee.
  • Nevada residents: Durango (through its “Nevada Locals StaCation”), Fontainebleau (for Fontainebleau Rewards members who live in Nevada) and Downtown Grand waive the fee for locals.

These hotels do charge a fee, but less than the $55-a-night Strip resorts, and all six include or waive guest parking. El Cortez’s $30-plus-tax daily amenities fee covers garage parking, though the whole property is 21+ only. The Plaza’s $39-plus-tax fee includes covered parking for two vehicles, and Downtown Grand’s $39 plus tax comes with free guest self-parking. Off the Strip, Trump International charges $39 plus tax per day, with no casino and complimentary valet; M Resort’s $39.99-plus-tax fee includes its airport shuttle, and parking is free; and Palms charges $43.99 plus tax, with free self-parking and valet. All figures are as of October 2026.

Are no-resort-fee hotels worth it?

Yes, if the location fits your trip and you don’t need a resort pool or a big casino downstairs. If you do, a low-fee hotel from the table above may be the better value. Here’s what you trade:

  • Pools: Four Queens has none on site (guests use Binion’s seasonal rooftop pool), and The Carriage House’s pool and hot tub were temporarily closed at last check.
  • No casino: Ahern and The Carriage House have none, which suits non-gamblers but not anyone who wants a game downstairs.
  • Older buildings: the newest major renovation Wikipedia lists for Four Queens is from 2007; Hotel Apache was refurbished and reopened in 2019.
  • Parking isn’t always free: $10 a day at The Carriage House, and $5 a day at Four Queens and Hotel Apache unless you get the free players card.
  • Fewer services: no valet at Casino Royale or Hotel Apache, and no airport shuttle at Four Queens or Hotel Apache.
  • What you keep: free Wi-Fi at Four Queens, Hotel Apache and The Carriage House, by their own accounts, which is exactly what resort fees often cover elsewhere.

If the nightly rate matters more to you than the fee itself, compare these with our cheap hotels in Las Vegas and our ranking of the best hotels in Las Vegas.

FAQ

Are there any Strip hotels without resort fees?

Yes. Best Western Plus Casino Royale on the center Strip advertises “no resort fees” on its own website, and NerdWallet (September 2026) lists it as the Strip hotel without one. Las Vegas Advisor (June 2025) also lists the Jockey Club, a timeshare next to The Cosmopolitan, without a fee, so confirm it in the booking total. Treasure Island and SAHARA drop their fees only on specific promotional rates.

Does Four Queens charge a resort fee?

No. The Four Queens FAQ says the hotel “never charges a Resort Fee.” Self-parking costs guests $5 a day unless they sign up for the free ALL ACCESS Players Club card, and valet is free. Wi-Fi is free for guests, too.

Does El Cortez have a resort fee?

Yes, under another name. El Cortez charges a $30-plus-tax daily “amenities fee” (as of October 2026) that covers garage parking, fitness center access and in-room coffee, among other items. It’s one of the lowest fees downtown, but it isn’t zero, and the property is adults-only: every guest must be 21 or older.

Does South Point charge a resort fee?

Yes. South Point’s website says a resort fee of $33.00 per room per night will be charged (as of October 2026), covering Wi-Fi, the fitness center, a scheduled airport shuttle and more. Parking is free, but the fee is mandatory, so South Point doesn’t belong on a no-fee list.

Which Las Vegas hotels have no resort fee and free parking?

Ahern Hotel says it charges neither, and Las Vegas Advisor lists free self-parking at Best Western Plus Casino Royale. Downtown, Four Queens and Hotel Apache waive their $5 daily self-parking charge if you sign up for the free ALL ACCESS players card, and Four Queens’ valet is free.

Can casino status get resort fees waived?

Sometimes. Several Caesars hotel FAQs say Caesars Rewards Diamond and Seven Stars members aren’t charged the resort fee, though The LINQ’s FAQ says its fee applies regardless of tier. Treasure Island makes its fee optional on qualified Treasury Players Club reservations. The MGM Rewards perks reported by the Arizona Republic and Las Vegas Advisor are parking perks: free self-parking from Pearl tier and free valet from Gold.

Whichever you pick, check the final total for your dates before you pay: at a true no-fee hotel, it should show the room rate and taxes, with no other nightly charge.
