The Vdara Hotel is Still Set For October 1 But With a $15 Resort Fee

June 22, 2009 at 6:32 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Speaking of CityCenter, we were stalking the Vegas hotel rates on Expedia for this weekend and a listing popped up for both the upcoming Vdara and Aria hotels. Of course, they didn't have any reservations open but we did learn some new info.

For instance, the all-suite Vdara Hotel and Spa will have a daily $15 resort fee that includes in-room internet access, which we believe is a first for The Strip. It will also take care of your local and toll-free calls, newspaper delivery, turndown service, two bottles of water daily and access to the fitness center. Also, the entire resort will be smoke-free. Very sweet indeed.

The Vdara Hotel will open on October 1. Room rates start at $199 a night. As with every other place in Vegas, views will cost you more. Rooms with pool and lake views bump up to $239 a night while the Panoramic suite tops out at $400 a night.

Wanna Work Out in Vegas? Be Prepared To Pay a Fitness Center Fee

June 1, 2009 at 4:28 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Sin City has always encouraged its visitors to overindulge. Whether it be while gambling, drinking or eating, you will never complain that you didn't get enough during your stay in Vegas (except maybe not enough winnings.)

So it would be understandable that one morning during your trip you would want to hit the gym. But just spending an hour on the elliptical can cost you a pretty penny.

That's because nearly all of the hotel-casinos in Las Vegas charge a fitness center fee. Typically, these are waived if you book a spa treatment but what if you want to work out two days without getting a massage? That means you will have to pony up at least $20 each visit. Is your 45-minute circuit training routine worth that much? You decide.

Below, we've rounded up some of the notable fitness center fees around the Strip. We've also got some tips for making the most out of using the hotel gym or...not using it at all.
