Trying to book a trip in June at planet hollywood. Resort fee is $25 per night. Most of the hotels on the strip are doing this.

It's been that way for years.

I've seen it in other cities as well
I don't know why they separate it out. Seems like a way to make people think you are nickel and diming them

They dropped the resort fee back from 2009-2011.
Planet Hollywood started charging it again sometime in 2011-2012, but waived it for platinum members or higher. Last year, they started charging it to platinum members while raising it to $25 a night from $20.
Flights have gone up and room rates at all properties. The Wynn used to offer me 3 free nights a year in a promotion. Haven't gotten that offer in the past two years.
Just the way it goes. Economy is doing well, Vegas is busy, supply demand.

Yep, hotels and resorts have all sorts of stuff like this they hit you for. Valet parking at many of the hotels in downtown NOLA is upwards of $50/night. Sandestin charges a resort fee % on top of any purchases made at Baytowne Wharf.

I work in the hospitality business and there has been a recent migration for Vegas resorts to be run by hotel people as opposed to Casino people. Orlando has been doing this for years and tagging this "fee" as a component of REVpar which is how many hotel managers are compensated. If I were going to guess, if this is a recent change, I'd say that this fee has more to do with the management comp structure and change in talent at the top. If it has been going on for a while, then it's probably the ability to list prices lower on OTAs.
