Sahara Las Vegas Abolishes Resort Fees During Summer Season, Following Another Resort's Lead
In a move aimed at boosting visitation during the slower summer season, several Las Vegas resorts, including Sahara and Resorts World Las Vegas, have started reducing or eliminating resort fees. Other Strip properties joining the trend are Treasure Island, Circus Circus, and Casino Royale.
The Sahara resort, located in the heart of Las Vegas, has eliminated its $55 resort fee as part of a promotion called the "All-In Rate Experience". This offer, valid through October 31, 2025, also includes free parking, a contrast to many other resorts that still charge for parking.
Resorts World Las Vegas has waived its $50-per-night resort fee and discontinued paid parking for the summer, with free self-parking available through August 28.
These reductions or eliminations are part of broader efforts by several Las Vegas resorts responding to a downturn in visitor volume and increased price sensitivity among travelers.
Treasure Island, Circus Circus, and Casino Royale have also offered free parking and resort fee moratoriums during the summer.
